Not a surprise at all. I read yesterday that these and possibly more cuts would be coming this week and next. Salary cap casualties are inevitable when you're $26 million over the cap. It's almost impossible to restructure that many contracts, especially when the players are in a bad situation to begin with. It's not like NE where players might be more likely to restructure because they are contenders. Just another day at the beach for Jets fans.

No way Vilma's a goner. He's the new face of that franchise. Quote me on that... and I'll eat crow later for it if I'm wrong.
I don't think maddog60 meant to imply that Vilma will be gone. I think he was just saying that he feels sorry for Vilma because of the situation the team is in.
