Thanks for the memories, Big Vince! Wilfork signed with the Texans today, a good fit for him and a good fit for New England fans who didn’t want to see him in Indy or Baltimore. Although now the Patriots not only play the Texans this year, but it also lines Houston up as a legitimate potential playoff opponent.

Oh well, no time to worry about that now. Everything that could be said about Wilfork has been said here. You can check out an all Wilfork PatsPropaganda here.

Ranking New England Patriots’ Best Remaining Free-Agency Options | Bleacher Report

Some interesting choices here from Frenz and a lot of them make a lot of sense. There’s little question that significant holes remain, and even if they’re only filled by low-end free agents, the Pats will not enter the draft with any glaring needs. The current glaring needs: guard, running back and cornerback, with a sprinkling of defensive tackle.

What sets New England apart isn’t so much the financial acumen (the Patriots have had more than their fair share of bad deals), but their steadfast approach to valuation of a player. They don’t waver or allow themselves to be taken advantage of. They are cold as ice when it comes to their players. It goes back years, to the team cutting Lawyer Milloy on the eve of the season. No player is bigger than the organization. Whether it was Wes Welker, Randy Moss, Richard Seymour, Logan Mankins, Mike Vrabel, Deion Branch or a number of other players, the team either turned the players into draft picks or walked away without getting stuck in a bad contract. Just the fact that they would approach Tom Brady about accepting a contract that would pay him in the ballpark of $10 million a year is something to appreciate. The Patriots can also be very quietly generous with their players to build that trust with a player who performs. Last season the team reworked the contract of Sebastian Vollmer to give him a better chance of earning incentives in his contract that he missed the year before because of injury. Often they give even their practice squad players a boost in salary at the end of the year. When the time comes to ask players for a pay cut later on, I am sure that these things are remembered. They play a different game than anyone else in the NFL.
