NFL teams expect Wilfork to be a cap casualty. But they could be looking at the 10-year pro in a purely analytical sense. Wilfork is 32 years old, he’s the second-highest-paid player on the Patriots, and he’s coming off a torn Achilles at 325 pounds.

It actually would cost the Patriots more cap money to outright cut Amendola instead of keeping him ($4.8 million compared with $4.6 million). If they designate him as a June 1 cut, Amendola would count only $1.2 million in 2014 and $3.6 million in 2015.

New England Patriots 2014 free agency wish list – Going Deep – Boston.com
Good names from Frenz here that are somewhat off the beaten path. Hakeem Nicks is interesting to me if he’s looking for a one-year deal to prove he’s still got it. The Giants and Pats have similar offensive terminology, that could help him assimilate. However I don’t think a lucrative long-term deal is the way the way to go.
Free-agent fit: Defensive end/OLB – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston
Some good fits here, I think if there’s any spot the Pats could make a “splash” it would be at defensive end. A veteran who can be part of a rotation with Nink and Chandler would be perfect, while also playing significant sub package snaps.
Of all the fake uni mockups I’ve seen over the years, this is one of the better ones. I think you need to keep the red facemask though. The blue uni one is the only one I really like though, the other two seem disjointed to me. I’d just go full grey and full red and see how that looks.
I don’t need the flesh tone on the Flying Elvis either…

This is probably as close as he’s ever come…
