If the Pats are smart, they'll slap the franchise tag on Wilfork if he doesn't want to re-sign. Vince has earned a huge contract. He's probably the most athletic NT in the game right now. Belichick and the Patriots' front office just run that franchise the right way. They draft better than anyone in the league. If Wilfork suffered an injury like Kris Jenkins has, Brace could step in right away. Depth is a hell of a thing to have in this league.
