I love Big Vince but I don't like this extension business coming out in the press.
He needs to get extended. There is no doubt about it!!!!!
But, with Cassel tying up a huge chunk of change until he is traded, there is no point in the Pats trying to do anything in terms of extanding him.
Vince needs to shut his mouth and really analyze the situation. Speaking in the press about your contract status, when you still have a year on your deal should be left to the likes of TO and Ocho Cinco
The team needs to pick up the phone and explain it to Vince if he and his agent can't read the tea leaves. If the front office has not done this, (pick up the phone and call him) they have made a mistake by not doing so.
I don't want to hear about bringing in a sexy new free agent for the D. I want our best paid first! And that means a new deal for Vince.
This needs to get done and the team needs to tell him it will get done as soon as the Cassel situation has been settled.
I agree with you I'm not particularly happy to see Wilfork airing things in the press - it's not a great sign. As I mentioned before, I doubt he is eager to sign a deal until Haynesworth sets the DT market. Also, with the CBA issue for 2010, there are a lot of contracts hanging. I'm not sure what is to be gained by going public making it look like the Pats are blowing him off, when they clearly understand that keeping him is one of our highest priorities.
