350 in the press book maybe. Also i have a feeling he won't be passing a physical anytime soon. I wouldn't be upset if they bright him in on a cheap contract, but he won't do that i don't think
No, he wouldn't but he will be in shape and ready to play by training camp. If he doesn't pass the physical, there is no deal. He has not had a history of injuries. He does have a history of being a big load as a nose tackle and he had done a lot of that to the Colts. Besides, if they release him and I'm not sure they will, you take a big (pardon the pun) bite out of one of teams standing in your way to the Super Bowl and you keep someone else from getting him.

400lbs and an achillis injury, no thanks
350 and who knows if he will even be available. Every 3-4 team in the NFL will be interested if the Pats release him and that includes the Colts. This guy would have a huge impact on our defense. He would have to pass a physical, of course.
-
he is only five months removed from tearing his Achilles, no one knows what he will be able to do. How does your logic with Reggie not apply to Wilfork..
Reggie is much older. Wilfork doesn't need speed to play and be effective. There is a risk on both of them. The reward on Wilfork is that you are getting the best nose tackle in the business and perhaps the best ever. The Colts offense will be good with or without Reggie. Adding Wilfork will put in the defense in the top ten and that is a huge impact.
-
He not good enough for you?
Way too expensive for a center.
-
If we get Mack, you'll be way more than just happy!
Anyone whose handle is.... "Need an oline" will be ecstatic if we get Mack! You'll be popping champagne bottles!
(and I will be too!)
Way too much money to pay for any center in my opinion. I think you have your centers on the roster now. Prepare to live with it.

Grigs is making everyone forget about Polian
No, not everyone. Two Super Bowl trips and more than a decade of 10+ win season won't be easily forgotten. Grigson has his clunkers too.

Moala is not a good lineman at all. Arthur Jones is adequate but nothing extraordinary. Cory Redding has seen his best days. Wilfork is a nose tackle. Sign him and your defense will move up a dozen spots in the defense ratings this year. Yes, he is only good for a year or two but we should be all in to win right now before that big contract of Luck's takes us out of the free agent market altogether. Also, you had two of those three linemen last year and the Colts were hopeless at stopping the run. Wilfork will stop a lot of that before they get to the linebackers. He will also make those three players you mention a whole lot better because he is just about unblockable.
Nose Guard. My mind is not functioning well this morning.

Because we already have three good defensive lineman: Fili Moala, Arthur Jones, and Cory Redding

Come to think of it , Wilfork is not even a free agent at this point in time. Bad topic...
And he may not become one. NE can see how many teams are interested in Wilfork and they need him and if he went to rival like the Colts, the Hoodie wouldn't like it.
-
Dominique Rodgers cromartie would be an excellent CB to get on the other side of Davis if we can't get Mack first
It will take a long deal at $10 million plus. He turned down a $54 million deal with Denver and he has talked about retiring.
-
No. No, we do not. Detroit, Tampa Bay, Atlanta, off the top of my head, are better (based on past production). Maybe we have among the most well-rounded set of receiving options, once you include our TEs and backs who are excellent receiving options.
How about Denver. Caldwell will replace Decker seamlessly.
-
Steve Smith is overrated. Past his prime.
So is Reggie Wayne.
-
I hope Reggie is still playing at 38. I think he could be highly productive in the slot at that age.
He won't be. They will get someone to play the slot a whole lot cheaper.
-
I'm not saying he won't get a great contract, I'm sure some stupid and desperate team will give him one. And how exactly would he be a pro-bowl center again when he's never been a center to begin with. Do you even know who you're talking about or what position he plays?
Yes, I just mistyped. I know very well that he is a pro bowl nose tackle. All of this fixation on a center has my mind more addled that if normally is. I had already changed it in editing before you responded.

So you don't see any value in looking at the team objectively and comparing it to other teams in the league? Your solution is just to hope other teams get injuries and we don't and that somehow we miraculously win a championship. I'm sorry if that's how you want to view things that's fine but that isn't how I view them. I see how we competed last year against teams and see what they are doing and then see what we are doing and objectively arrive at an opinion. I chose to view things how they are instead of hoping for the best. I guess we just have two different perspectives. I respect your view but I chose objectivity and realism over hope and getting excited about a team that if viewed objectively has very small chances of even getting to the championship.
My view exactly.

I am so glad the F.O. does not listen to the fans. We DO NOT "need" to sign Wilfork. He's old, crippled, and isn't worth even close to what he thinks he's worth. He's a big tub of goo that will never be himself again after the Achilles injury.
I'll take that bet. I'll bet he gets a great contract. I'll bet he will return and be a pro bowl Nose Tackle again and I'll be whoever plays the position for the Colts never does either of these things.
-
The Talib signing is better than they indicate. DRC turned down the Bronco offer of $54 million. The guaranteed $11.5 million to Talib and it is all paid in the first year. So, if it doesn't work out they have him for one year at $12 million.
-
Rotate with Chapman and Hughes at NT...He will be the pressure up the middle in the pass rush we've never had as well...
I have been saying the same thing. Yes, it is a risk but it is taking risks like that with a chance for a very high reward that win championships. I am not sure signing Wilfork would give the Colts the best run defense in the NFL but it would be in the running. Move that defense up from the twenties to the top ten and you give Luck much better field position and there would be less strain to score on every series. The Colts also wouldn't be playing from behind in just about every game. I would much rather see Wilfork than signing an absurdly expensive center like Mack.
-
I'd argue our inability to stop the run is mostly on the subpar linebacker play.
I would argue that you are terribly wrong...
-
In my opinion, we should not get him because he is old, we don't really need him, and he would probably not be so reliable coming off any injury.
What do you mean we don't need him. That weakness we have at nose tackle is why teams run all over the Colts. Wilfork would have to pass a physical and I assume he already has. I would sure rather seem them throw some $ at him than the fortune they are consider on a center. No center is worth what it will take to get Mack. Draft one.
-
- Vince has asked for his release but he hasn't been released yet, has he?
No, and he may not be. The Pats need him badly.
-
Link to the SI article?
http://nfl.si.com/2014/03/13/vince-wilfork-asks-to-be-released-by-new-england-patriots/
It says lots of teams will be interested. I saw the figure ten on another article but I can't remember where. I'll try to find it too. But they seem to be there will be a real demand for him.
-
We do? I must have missed something.
Im not sure what the market will be for Wilfork.
SI is saying that at least ten teams will be interested. I would guess three years for $25 million with $10 million guaranteed.
-
i'd like him to sign on a one year deal if it was reasonable he'd be a great starter and could teach chapman alot and help him develop to replace him after a year or two for the right money i say go for it
It will take a lot more than that go get him.
Remaining FA options?

I think Reggie should get 1 year contracts only at this point in his career and I wouldn't do that until he plays this whole year and shows he can still pay and stay on the field.
