Q: Hey John, how long do you think it will take for the Patriots to re-sign Vince Wilfork, Richard Seymour and Logan Mankins to extensions? What are other big contract disputes in the NFL right now?
From Jorge in Boston
A: You have to think one of these players will be signed, and I'd put my money on Wilfork getting the first shot. He's too valuable in the 3-4 defense to leave. I don't know if he's going to get a four-year, $32 million deal or if the cost is going to be more, but I think he gets the first nod. Mankins has put himself in position to get a contract worth $6 million to $8 million a year. The Patriots could find other guards, even though they have a difference-making guard in Mankins. I get the feeling the Seymour is third on the list. Something for one of the three needs to be done soon, or the Patriots risk hurting team chemistry.
This was a question he was asked in this weekly mailbag thing he does...
