Patriots and Wilfork
The defensive lineman for the Patriots, Vince Wilfork, showed up at the Patriots team charity golf tournament, which is a little strange seeing as he has not had his contract renewed as of this date.
When Wilfork was a rookie he signed a six year contract deal with the Patriots, and he is currently in the final stretch now.
As Wikipedia puts it, “Wilfork is considered to be one of the best nose tackles in the NFL, and was named both to the Pro Bowl and the All-Pro team in 2007″. If this is true the Patriots better hurry up and draw up a deal for the guy, it would be a shame to lose Wilfork this season, especially now that Brady has returned.
According to news sources, Wilfork has not attended any other team activities recently and would not comment directly on the state of his current contract.
Wilfork did mention to WEEI however that he is not looking for the “best contract there is” he is simply looking to be “comfortable”.
If this is true, the Patriots almost positively can draw up something “comfortable” to entice Wilfork into staying. But the signs of recent activities show there may be talk of letting him go. Only time will tell.
In the meantime, Wilfork continues to participate as a Patriot, just not at the public events.
