Don't get me wrong I love Vince and I think he is a real special player.
My question is whether anyone else questions whether it is a good idea to shell out huge d-line money for a NT?
Thru the years we have had Seymour, Washington, Traylor, and Wilfork all play NT so while it is pivitol to have the cog at the nose I am not sure we need to spend huge money to get it.
Haynesworth got his money because of his ability to play the run and rush the passer. A NT doesn't do that and while I don't doubt Wilforks skills I think we could someone good enough to play nose without costing what Wilfork might.
Basically my question is do you think NT is as important/hard to replace as what we think Wilfork deserves/should be able to get in his next contract?
