It's déjà vu all over again.
“There’s a lot of concern with the Patriots management that Vince Wilfork is going to bloat now that he has gotten paid.”
After the recent 'disconnect' piece, I somehow doubt that anyone in the Patriots management team is speaking to someone from Yahoo - unless there's an extremely disgruntled employee in the front office. If somebody was really that dissatisfied, wouldn't they walk and get another job elsewhere? I know there are many people not happy with their jobs, but to the point of sabotaging their own careers? Perhaps that happens with mid or lower level employees; not so often with those in management.
Yes, there are many NFL players that have not put forth as much effort after signing a contract in comparison to their play in the final year of a contract. And yes, I recognize that Wilfork's weight is a potential problem. But I really feel that of all media sources to have an exclusive inside source to not only Tom Brady but also to the Patriots' management, it is highly unlikely that Yahoo is that media source.
One last thing: what has happened between the new contract being signed a few weeks ago and today that the Patriots' management is now suddenly so concerned about? If 'bloating' is a concern today, then it would have been a concern two months ago as well - and there would have been some clauses inserted into the contract about weight, body fat, conditioning, etc.
