The update on a contract extension for Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork looks like this, no update. The sides have yet to reopen talks. The Patriots presumably wanted to devote their attention to free agency and the draft, and now that those have passed and the pace of the offseason has slowed, there is an opening to address other pressing business matters.

it means that if wilfork is looking at a haynesworth deal, instead of say a tommy kelly deal (length and total contract) then they have a possible replacement down the line
Pats are waiting for the moment that haynesworth will not live up to his contract. It will prove that nobody deserves that much money and it will give the pats a year to review Ron Brace 's play progress. Not hooked on the fact that they'll replace a first rounder with a third one though.
:laughy32:Brace was taken in the early part of the second round. Brace is perhaps the best fit as a NT.
