The chance to pair Wilfork with a similar attacker would instantly improve the Pats’ front. At 31, it’s hardly unrealistic to wonder how much longer Wilfork can play at an elite level. A violent defensive pairing would be helpful, but the opportunity to use more of a rotation, limit Wilfork’s reps to save his long-term endurance and, ideally, not suffer too much of a drop-off would be a luxury.
