I'm so confused. What about those 3 different $10M 2 year deals Vince has been offered?

Wilfork's weight appears to be at an all time high ... I keep saying this ...

The media is not touching it .... but that has to be scaring off teams including our own in terms of offer.
If I'm Wilfork I take my availability off the table ... work on the weight and conditioning and gamble that he will get a decent (better) offer in the summer when some get injured or retire right before camp.

A slimmed down Wilfork could be a once in a while penetrator as well as a space eater - he needs to get that body to be useful for this NFL ... not the NFL that existed when he was younger where there was more 3-4. I still think he is closer to 380 than he is to 350 ... he would look great at @330 or so.

Pats lose Wilfork. I'm sure Belichick has a plan but isn't it about time he initiates it? Or does he plan to win this yr w/ genius alone?

BB's statement brought tears to my eyes. I am going to miss big Vince. I think we all will. He is such a good guy. I don't get excited about draft picks, but I jumped for joy when the Pats drafted him.
This feels like a bigger loss than Revis, IMO.
I know that sounds crazy to some of you, but this is how I feel.

Wilfork is a great guy who really epitomized (together with people like Brady and Edelman) why the Patriots can win year after year. He was highly skilled physically but at the same time he understood the nuances of the game: smart, good decisions under pressure, magnetic leader, with tremendous internal integrity and character. It's these elements of character and intelligence among their top players that set the Patriots apart from other teams. Every head coach can draft for size and speed, but BB is the only one who can consistently find or elicit great character and leadership in his players.

I understand we all get older and lose a step or two, but I think trying to replace Wilfork: not going to happen. Even if we find some guy as big and as fast, it won't be Wilfork and it won't be the Patriots.
