Player Notes
March 5, 2010
Vince Wilfork has agreed on a five-year deal worth $40MM to remain with the Patriots, according to Mike Reiss' twitter page.

Our View:Wilfork is now the highest paid nose tackle in the NFL, and is certainly worth it. He will remain the anchor of New England's defensive line in 2010.

The Patriots are believed to be nearing a long-term deal with Vince Wilfork, according to Comcast Sports New England.

Our View:Keeping the elite nose tackle in New England is a top priority for the club. The Patriots placed the franchise tag on him earlier in the week.
February 22, 2010
The Patriots have designated Vince Wilfork with their franchise tag, according to Pro Football Talk.

Our View:While Wilfork had publicly expressed his desire not to be franchised, the move by New England still does not come as a surprise. Wilfork and his agent can still try to work out a long-term extension with the Patriots, though the franchise tag pretty much kills their chances at landing a deal with another team.

The Patriots are yet to talk to Vince Wilfork regarding a new contract, according to the Boston Globe.

Our View:Wilfork is at the end of his contract with New England, and is regarded as an elite nose tackle. He is hoping to receive a long-term deal for financial security, and does not want to play with a one-year contract or franchise tag.

Vince Wilfork (foot) fully practiced this week, and is probable for this weekend's playoff game against the Ravens, according to the Boston Globe.

Our View:The stud nose tackle will be counted on to contain star running back Ray Rice, which will not be an easy task.
January 7, 2010
Vince Wilfork (foot) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday, according to Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times.

Our View:He will be active on Sunday against the Ravens. Somewhere, Ray Rice just a little bit more nervous.
January 6, 2010
Vince Wilfork fully practiced Wednesday, according to the Patriots' official website.

Our View:Wilfork did not play in the final three games of the regular season due to a foot injury. The stud nose tackle looks to have good odds of returning for this weekend's playoff game against Baltimore, assuming he practices the rest of the week without a problem.
January 1, 2010
NFL.com reports that Vince Wilfork is questionable for Sunday's game. He has sat out the past two weeks with a foot injury.

Our View:Wilfork has done a nice job tying up the middle of the line this season, and compiles better numbers than most nose tackles. The Patriots will miss him if he's unable to go.
