Bucs gearing up for a run at Jonathan Vilma?

The St. Petersburg Times is getting "strong indications" of the Bucs' interest in free agent LB Jonathan Vilma.

The Saints want to re-sign Vilma as the centerpiece of Gregg Williams' new defense, but they can't seal the deal until the start of free agency without giving up their first round pick. The Bucs could swoop in and make him a key piece in their own rebuilding defense, but he would have to move to the weak side with Barrett Ruud established in the middle.
