darren15 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Patriots releasing the vet ........ would be a nice leader on the D line ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Yes, and save us a #1 so we can get a top a top speed rusher and a top WR at 12 and 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 He's 33, pass a physical, solid guy... I would take a serious look if he was interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicIsForSquares Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 A short term fill in. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 short term, as in a year or two? Just means you wouldn't have to put a Shelton in there immediately, most of the plays. Put the veteran in there, Shelton in on the rotation..... I'd go for that. And if you have an injury... you hopefully have Taylor to move to NT in the rotation.... that would rock. I don't see the downside, unless it's too big a price to pay the veteran.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiamat63 Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 I'm more interested in Jerry Hughes and/or Brandon Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicIsForSquares Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Wilfork is a big guy with a history of leg injuries that will command a decent veteran paycheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownsfandenver Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Offer him a 2 year deal with incentives and use him the way the Patriots did. he played less snaps last year with the rotation they had in NE. Would be a solid run stuffer on 1st and 2nd down. than pulll him on 3rds. rotate Him Taylor and Kitchen would be a nice rotation. Would be interesting to see Taylor play DE next to Him.

calfoxwc Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Log has a point - it depends on how much. If he wants a giant contract, it probably wouldn't be a good idea. Wilfork did tear an achilles tendon in 2013, and had a foot problem. but, that was 2013. His injuries seem to be that year. http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/vince-wilfork-player-injuries for a good price, he'd be great to add to the rotation. Depends on the physical, like I said.

Tour2ma Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Wilfork is a big guy with a history of leg injuries that will command a decent veteran paycheck. Wilfork's missed 18 games in 11 years... 176 games... twelve of them two years ago due to an Achilles. I'll take that kind of injury history any day. When one of the premier space eaters in the game becomes available, and I need space eaters, I'm at least going to give him a call. Should Vince sign with us and then by some miracle Shelton falls to us as well, I'd buy sturdier benches and figure the rest out later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicIsForSquares Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 You get one or two years out of him. I don't see the point when we could develop a rookie and have them up to speed by the time the team is able to accrue enough talent to try and be a consistently good team. Wilfork would be great on a team like Denver who is trying to get over the hump. Not a team trying to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tour2ma Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Sure... or Vince could play for four more years and raise the game of all around him. I totally get, and usually agree with, the final piece argument, but when this kind of talent matches our level of need, I'm interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickers Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 No.. I'm sick of regurgitating someone else's old vets... That was the Mangina way. The Mangina way set this team back in a huge way.. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canton Dawg Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 No.. I'm sick of regurgitating someone else's old vets... That was the Mangina way. The Mangina way set this team back in a huge way.. No thanks. Mangini had to use other team's castoffs, because he couldn't draft worth a shit.

Clevfan4life Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 This is a no brainer....he's still at or just under his peak. If he wants suh money than no...but if its reasonable,wr'd be idiots not put him with taylor. Those two splitting the heavy lifting and in certain downs being in there together would make THE most dom interior in footbal. Stupid not to make him an offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clevfan4life Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 there been any news regarding Wilfork? like who's been calling him? I better hear one of the names starts with Ray and ends with Farmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippinTurtles Posted March 9, 2015 Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 Wilfork would be the perfect mentor to Shelton. He's a class guy who could teach him all the tricks of the trade. If you don't draft Shelton, then pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
