Rest-of-Season Projections
The Falcons do not plan to sign Vilma at this time, the ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Falcons are still looking to bolster their linebacking corps, with Sean Weatherspoon out for the season, but evidently they will continue to look elsewhere after meeting with Vilma on Wednesday. The team has also worked out Tim Dobbins and Nick Barnett, with GM Thomas Dimitroff noting, "we are continuing to research all possibilities at the linebacker position to make sure that we continue to fortify our linebacker group."

Vilma will likely start at one of the inside linebacker positions with the Saints' switch to a 3-4 defense. While the alignment switch gives Vilma the opportunity to start after backing up Curtis Lofton at middle linebacker most of last season, keep in mind that Vilma struggled mightily years back when the Jets made a similar move, which paved the way for his move to New Orleans. Vilma is not getting any younger, and he will need to show new defensive coordinator Rob Ryan that he can still play or he may find himself in a backup role once again.
