I'm optimistic a deal will get done. Think about it: When the Pats franchised Cassel last year, they did it right out of the gates, essentially saying "Who wants a QB? Anybody? Hurry,Hurry,Hurry!!!Get your starting calliber QB here!"
With Vince, I think as we speak, both sides are trying to iron out a contract. Kraft and Belichick aren't stupid. They know value when they see it and IMO as well as everyone else's, Vince is one of those "key cogs" that BB talks about building around. They realize his value and if they don't get a deal done before the franchise deadline, then placing a tag on Vince won't be deemed an "insult" because the Pats are negotiating in good faith. Worse comes to worse, we trade him. But I think something will get done before the season starts (hopefully in the next month or so).
Hey cool! Because we don't already have enough needs in the draft... let's just add another one! Why not?
SAS is completely delusional, and is under the continued impression that operating the Patriots in real life mirrors operating a Patriots franchise in Madden.

The fact remains that you claimed there are "multiple" players in the draft who could be drafted and would provide an immediate upgrade over Wilfork.
That's straight-up clinical. Beyond the bounds of reason.
Wilfork is a good player. We have plenty of holes on defense already. Creating another doesn't really bode well for us moving forward.

Have to sign Peppers for a low sb, one or two year deal...not sure he'd go for it.
No. Just asking you when from a timing perspective you move Vince. IMO, if a deal is not hatched, you move him around/during the draft.
You can front load a deal, just can't be more than 50% of the year two payout without it being pro-rated over the term of the contract.
