section314 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Won't be sad to see him not in a Pat's uniform. Guy is a great, great player. His battles over the years with Mangold were epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Killa Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Hate the patriots but Wilkfork was a great player for many years with them. I am happy to see him go though. A lot less work on Mangold. Not that he couldn't handle it. I love mangold. Favorite jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatsFanTX Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 To me this is what makes the Pats a strong organization they know when to let their overvalued/overpriced players walk. This was all about money. Pats will sign him to a 2-year, lower salary contract and he will retire as a Patrioit. 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. "I'm in a good place," Wilfork wrote in his statement. "I have a great relationship with the Patriots organization. Please know how blessed my family and I have been to be able to play 11 years in New England for an amazing organization. " "New England has been and always will be my home," he added later in the statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAD_Brooklyn Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Revis contract is breaking that team apart. At the end of things they may have to release Revis, McCourty may go else where, Wilforks may go else where and that defense may go right back to shames.

LAD_Brooklyn Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 He has a $12.5 mil roster bonus due at the end of this league year. What is that the 6th of March? His base salary is $7.5 mil. That's $20 mil hes dued right there. He sign a $10 mil signing bonus so $5 mil is prorated to each year which makes his cap charge $25 mil.

j4jets Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 wonder if they are trying to clear space so they can pickup the 20m option on Revis Not happening. They'd rather bid for Revis in the open market and pay 30mil over 2 years rather than 20 over one year and not have him the next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pats will not cut revis, they will not pick up an option for the 2nd year. The difference is that they will get a comp pick for both Wilfork and Revis as they are just not exercising an option, not cutting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
