Patriots should be coming to a Wilfork in the road

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.
Wilfork, who enters the final year of his contract, is one of their top priorities.

When factoring in his strong performance as an anchor in the team's 3-4 defense, and the contract situations of other 2004 first-round picks, Wilfork brings a convincing case to the negotiating table.
