oldtimer 8,683 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Veteran defensive tackle Vince Wilfork tweeted Thursday that the New England Patriots have informed him they will not pick up the option in his contract, thus making him a free agent when the new league year begins Tuesday. The news was expected, as Wilfork, 33, was due a $4 million roster bonus on March 10. Had the Patriots picked that up, Wilfork also would have earned a $3 million base salary and counted $8.9 million against the salary cap. The Patriots create $8.06 million in salary-cap space with the move. Wilfork and the Patriots could still reach a new agreement to extend Wilfork's career in New England, where he's played since the club selected him in the first round of the 2004 draft.

DieHard 2,061 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Be nice to get him to plug the middle and line Poe up next to Hali. That, with Houston would be a ridiculous pass rush. Oh a man can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love that. Especially in those two d-linemen nickel packages.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
