Vince Wilfork announces retirement

[BadMoFo]

I thought he already did, but seems like this just happened today. Also, looks like we are having something for him opening night.
Vince Wilfork announced his retirement in a ribs commercial (we think)

Not on the 1st ballot, but hopefully one day.

Maybe not but he's a Patriots HOF lock.

seems like a 1-day contract is likely:

ESPN Boston’s Mike Reiss joined Steve Burton on WBZ-TV’s Sports Final on Sunday night and said that Wilfork will definitely be retiring as a member of the Patriots. But a reunion as a player remains highly unlikely.

“He’s definitely going to retire as a Patriot. That might be a one-day contract,” explained Reiss. “He’s going to be a Patriots’ Hall of Famer.”

NT historically have a tough time getting in, but he definitely should. Premier NT for a decade on an all time dynasty.

Run, big man, run!!!!

...right for the retirement party buffet.

Thanks for the rings and the memories, Vince!

It can never be forgotten.....

He IS an absolute lock for the Pats HOF. He is questionable for the NFL HOF, since that joint is all about the stats and nothing (anymore) about the substance. So NT's are at a distinct disadvantage for getting in. For example it is a shame that the "butt fumble" is on the list of the 10 WORST plays, when in fact it was a GREAT play by Vince that caused it.

BTW- Vince was pretty locked in living in MA during his career, and from what I understand kept his home in Foxboro. I wonder if he is going to come back and live in "the old neighborhood", or if he will go back to Miami?

Thanks for all the memories. He is a true Patriots legend.

That should be one hell of a tailgating party.

Not 1st ballot but based on the recent inductees who are thoroughly undeserving he should get in as for ~10 years he was one of the most dominant DTs in the game.

That's actually why I'm hopeful he will get in.
