Rejuvenated Jonathan Vilma says it was worth taking pay cut to remain with New Orleans Saints | NOLA.com
He is finally back to full health after suffering a knee injury in the second game of 2011. Vilma tried to play through the injury throughout that 2011 season, then he eventually had major surgery that sidelined him until Week 7 of the 2012 season. He never looked quite like himself in either season.
