ChosenOne Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Former New England cornerback Asante Samuel had some words of advice for nose tackle Vince Wilfork on Friday as Wilfork waits to see what his future holds with the Patriots. "I don't think they care about you, in my opinion," Samuel told the Boston Globe from Miami, where he was practicing with the NFC Pro Bowl team. "They didn't care about me. So do what's best for you and your family." Having just finished playing the final season of his six-year rookie contract, Wilfork is looking for a long-term deal and a big payday. The Patriots could throw a wrench in the works by placing the franchise tag on him. ESPN.com The Pats really need to get this guy signed, he is huge for them.

bigdog17k Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 They can't afford to lose him. If he departs that's only going to be another huge blow to New England's hopes of another championship. They really need to get their defense going.

Celtics3420 Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 (edited) They can't afford to lose him. If he departs that's only going to be another huge blow to New England's hopes of another championship. They really need to get their defense going. Huge blow, sure, if you wanna call it that. But this team's defense is overrated now, we aren't anywhere near super bowl level defensively. Our offense isn't what it was from 07, hell, our defense was actually still at a super bowl level(Under 100 RYA and under 200 PYA). Our defense was just over shadowed by that unbelievable offense(in 07) Anyways, Samuel is just pissed we didn't wanna give him big time cash, this team was built off of a team concept with winning first, and money later. That's why Brady took a pay cut, Moss took a pay cut etc. Shoot, Bruschi in his prime would've easily made HUGE cash elsewhere, but was unselfish enough to negotiate a contract that helped fit both the team and helped support his family financially. You don't need 8 mill a year to support a family, 3 mill is substantial. Guess that's what it's come to now. if Wilfork is looking for a monster pay day, then he'll likely either get Tagged then traded(ala cassell) or get released. Likely tagged then traded. If he's just looking for a long term contract, if the price is reasonable, NE will no doubt sign him. I'd hate to see him leave though.
