    Do you agree with Vince Wilforks request to be released?

    He is one of my fav players. He would be the highest paid nose tackle at 8mil this year. He feels that he worked for the money and he did have on of the smaller salary while waiting for this. If they release wilfork and his 8mil it will clear 3.6mil in cap debt safe. Is he selfish or is he is just asking for what is owed and agreed and shouldn't budge?

    Rare game changing type of player, think he is worth what he asks. Pats are cheap, they should pay up

    He is due $7.5 million but he knows the Patriots aren't paying that to him, period, end of discussion. They will not pay his current contract and he will not restructure, so all he is saying is "since you're going to cut me anyway, please cut me now when I can maximize my value on the open market instead of waiting a couple months"

    He is a 32 year old coming off a huge injury. He is not worth the $7.5 million due on his current deal and he will not be making that much next year (average annual value) no matter where he ends up.

    Hes not a running back. Guy just needs to plug the running lanes and he is easily worth 7.5 mil

    He takes double teams every time and you only need 3 linemen to be effective against the run. Allows other players 1v1 opportunities. Imagine how many sacks Chandler Jones would have if wilfork played with him

    Yep. Rumor is the Pats asked him to take a pay cut and he's basically saying "FU".
