Unless Wilfork is threatening to sit out, this is an issue for the next offseason.

No kidding. Once he reported this season was in the books and he can't then walk out or he gets fined, suspended and/or loses out on at least 3/4th of his paltry $2.2M salary. No way Bianca allows him to do that... Which is why I cannot for the life of me fathom why Reiss keeps hinting how he thinks maybe they will sweeten the pot by agreeing pre-emptively to not tag him in 2010... I can't see the pot to sweeten...You do that to get a guy in and only when he's already tagged...

Plus he has a huge incentive to play hard this year. If he dogs it this season, he won't be worth more in FA if his agent has to explain to teams why he lost his starting job to Brace.
