Devin McCourty will do everything he can to keep Vince Wilfork in New England

The Patriots made their first big move of the offseason when they reportedly agreed to bring back safety Devin McCourty Sunday night.

One of the next big looming questions is will Vince Wilfork join McCourty on the Patriots after the defensive tackle was informed his contract would not be picked up for the 2015 season? The Patriots would like Wilfork to take a pay cut, but the 33-year-old is a free agent and can now sign with any team.

McCourty wants Wilfork to return to New England and make a run at another Super Bowl. McCourty discussed this and other matters appearing on a number of ESPN shows Monday.

“Me playing with him for five years and seeing him, there might not be 10 sacks in a season, but he causes so much havoc up front,” McCourty said on “Mike & Mike”. “It’€™s tough to think about [Wilfork leaving], especially for me. I’€™ve grown very close with him over the last couple of years and I’€™ve been talking to him throughout the whole process, but I think you have to try to move on.

“Obviously with me returning, I’€™m going to do everything I can do to get him back there playing in New England. It’€™ll be cool just to see what happens over the next month and hopefully he’€™s still back there helping out.”

Wilfork, like McCourty, has never played for another team besides the Patriots.
