Completely agree. The Pats in are control of Vince and where he plays. He cannot pick where he goes.

The Pats and Vince will figure something out. He is too good of a player and Wilfork loves NE too much for the two sides not to come to some sort of agreement. This deal will get done, just give it time. Worst case scenario he is franchised.

The draft is a crapshoot while Wilfork is a PROVEN top player.

Well if you're talking Top 10, I trust Belichick to make the right pick.

He has both times (Seymour / Mayo)

As much as I like Vince I could be tempted if Tampa were to make a sweet offer.

Wilfork's contract is up. He's due to be a free agent. If that happens, he can pick his own destination and the Patriots will have no say in the matter.

The Pats are still in control of him with the use of the franchise tag. He is still property of the Patriots unless they dont slap the franchise tag on him or dont resign him, then he will become a free agent.

The only way we could ever get offers from other teams is if we franchised Wilfork. This was brought up with Tom E. Curran today and his franchise tag would carry over to the other team and he couldnt see a team offering a first rounder for him. He could see a 2nd and possibly a 4th. Definitely not worth it, just resign him.

getting picks is nice but young talent on good contracts is better imho. It's more certain. draft is hit and miss, doesn't matter where you pick really.

Imagine two top-10 picks in the 2011 draft. BB would be lynched if he traded out of them.

Didn't know the Globe did trade negotiations for the Pats. I am guessing that Belichick is not letting Wilfork go for less than a first. A first and a third if it it to the Dolphins.
