What does Brace tell us about the Wilfork contract?
Is this an indication that BB does not think they can resign Wilfork? Or is BB just trying to finally fill the backup NT spot?

Never a bad thing to have a safety net.

I think this is BB filling a position that he's wanted to fill. It also solidifies a part of the team that wasn't great last year and that is the short yardage defense. The Pats will be able to put Brace and Wilfork out there on short yardage and on goal line packages and really do a number on the opposing team.

Not much, to be honest.
I'll eat my hat if VW is not resigned. But this gives us excellent depth at a critical position. |

I think it says that we now have a good back up for Vince. This draft has really improved over team depth as we will see when cuts are made during training camp!

Wilfork is every bit as good as haynesworth if not better and we aren't going to give him 7/100 million samolies. He worth it, but it will blow our wage structure. Who knows how a uncapped year will affect the situation.

vince sounds like he plans on sticking around, and that 7/100 figure on haynesworth is a crock, so I wouldn't get too excited about it just yet.
worry about week 1. |

I am not familiar with Brace and his physical makeup,If Seymour leaves can Brace play DE or has he ever played there in College?

This is backup and insurance.
Look at the top NTs in a 3-4 over the years. Look at Ted Washington. It's a tough position, hard on your knees. A lot of players have had good longevity. But you're tempting fate if you believe a guy like Wilfork is indestructible. So much wear on those NT bodies. |

Even if he was speaking loosely, Wilfork did say publicly he'd like to see Raji drafted. Brace is a cheaper version of the same idea. |
