more than anything, I think he would bring leadership and a winning attitude. I would love to see him here. Definitely on the downside of his career, but I think to build a winning team, you need a good mix of veterans and young guys. I would love to see him in Bills red, white, and blue.

 

FWIW. WEEI was just talking about him going to Buffalo and re-uniting with Pepper Johnson if he gets released.

The problem with Wilfork moving to the Bills (or Jets or Dolphins) is his reputation as a dirty player.

 

Between that and the excessive protection granted to The Brady, the moment he so much as breathes him, he'll be banned for life and possibly executed for roughing The Brady.

Vince, we forgive you for smashing Losman's knee.

 

There. It's settled.

 

The !@#$ I do.

 

Seriously...Wilfork is one of the few players I dislike on something approaching a personal level. I don't want him on the Bills.

I would **~**~<3~love~<3~**~** to see a see him in a rotation with Kyle and Dareus.

 

If he's healthy, absolutely I would agree with you. That would certainly be a giant pick up if he went signed with us and I think it would raise the level of optimism around here.

No way they just release him. He can want all he wants not gonna happen. Trade maybe.

 

hes turning 33, 350lbs and coming off an achilles injury (which often takes two years to actually come back from even if he can play in 2013)..... and is scheduled to get 8m in the final year of his contract.

 

he might get released.

Wow, he's one of the few Patriots* I've consistently admired for his play and dominance. Wierd how perception can be so different.

I am assuming he wants his release now because he realizes it is coming later in the offseason or camp when he is medically cleared so it's better to get about the business of finding a team now. It can't possibly be for more money because that is not happening.

I presume the Pats are asking him to take a pay cut. If so, I wonder if this is because of their cap situation and Revis contract.

 

If my presumptions are correct, the Pats may be forced to cut or trade him if he does not want to take a pay cut to stay there.

The Pats signed Revis last night and came to Wilfork today to ask him to restructure his deal. He said no way. However, something must have happened during that conversation to ask him to request a release.

I guess I am falling for the Patriots/Belichik hype...if he agreed to trade Wilfork to us, i would back out of that deal so fast... :lol:

beyond revis, because hes coming off a pretty devastating injury that is likely to effect him even if he does actually get on the field and hes making star DT money and its his final year so they cant say overpaying him is an investment.
