New Orleans acquired linebacker Jonathan Vilma from the Jets in 2008 and later sent New York a 2009 third-round pick after the trade's conditions were met; the Saints also received a 2009 fourth-rounder. Vilma became a defensive captain, made the 2009 Pro Bowl and helped lead the Saints to their Super Bowl XLIV championship. New York gained useful draft value, but New Orleans secured the centerpiece.
