That's pretty much it. Like Revis, there are financial boundaries that this team will absolutely not cross. Paying $9m for a 34 yr old DT w/$5m guaranteed is one of them. Doesn't mean VW can't still play, it means that he won't be doing it here. This situation is very similar to Willie Macs in 05.I think he is pretty much "the player he was" and has plenty of gas in the tank for a couple more seasons. I think this is just a classic case of BB cutting a guy "a year too soon rather than a year too late."
Good luck, Vince!
I'm guessing our offer must have been close ... + or - ...
After thinking about it ... I'm thinking this was more of an issue of playing time expected or discussed than it was about money. Not that there's anything wrong with any of it ... I feel like Wilfork is too proud of a man and player to have accepted a lesser role here ... easier to do that in another uniform and/or know you'll play more elsewhere. In any case ... great ride for us and Vince. I think this is more a playing time issue than a $$$ issue for Vince and family.
