Hard to answer, long term deal that the Pats can live with? and it depends what we would get in a trade. Also with #2 does he hold out or not?The way I see it, there are three possibilities:
(1) A long-term deal is reached.
(2) Wilfork stays under the tag the entire year, possibly holding out.
(3) Patriots trade/lose Wilfork.
Which of these do you think is the WORST case scenario?

Looks like it's already happened anyway...
Patriots put franchise tag on Wilfork as contract talks continue - NFL - CBSSports.com Football
Putting the tag doesn't mean they won't come to a long-term deal later (see Cassel, Matt).

Any of those 3 options could be good or could be bad. As I see it, the worst case scenario is that we're forced to overpay him by a ton in a long-term deal, then watch his body break down and we're stuck with an albatross contract. Best case scenario is we sign him long-term to a reasonable deal and he plays up to it. So I voted 1, just because, since it's potentially both best case and worst case.

He wanted you to vote for your LEAST desired outcome...
