From his blog:
If the Pats get a deal done with Wilfork before he is tendered or as late as March after he is tendered, I think a lot of people have an apology due to the Pats.
Kinda shoots this recent theory that the Pats are cheap argument out of the water.

On Feb. 11, teams can start assigning the franchise tag to players. If it comes to that with the Patriots and Vince Wilfork, my feeling is that the tag wouldn’t be assigned until the last possible day (Feb. 25). It makes sense to think the sides will get back to the negotiating table in the coming weeks to try to hammer out a long-term deal, and I don't think it's out of the question that momentum could build toward that happening.

There seems to be a growing perception that the Patriots don’t spend on players. Tom Curran, who covers the Patriots for Comcast SportsNet, presented this counter-point: Since 2005, the Patriots spent $540 million on player salaries, while the Colts spent just less than $546 million and the Jets $542 million.
