Should the Pats bring back Vince Wilfork?

Where to start?? Big Vince the constant main stay of the New England Patriots defense. Since 2004 Wilfork has been the key cog for the Patriots clogging up holes stopping running lanes and disrupting Quarterbacks.

Despite missing the entire season in 2013 with a torn achilles many thought Wilfork would never return the same and his career was over. He proved doubters wrong and took a pay cut to return to the Patriots in 2014 and played yet another great season leading the way on defense to New England's 4th Lombardi in 15 years. Fast forward and here we are, the beginning stages of the 2015 season.

The Patriots front office decided not to pick up the 33 year olds $8 million option, Wilfork left heartfelt letter saying his goodbyes to the Patriots and their fans. But is this really the end to Vince Wilforks time in in New England?

Of course many teams have been interested in picking up the Defensive Tackle but Wilfork and his agent have yet to make a move. According to several sources including  Patriots representative of ESPN Mike Reiss the Patriots are much interested in bringing back Wilfork on a new deal. With the recent resigning of Alan  Branch on a 2 year deal worth $6.6 Million how far will the Pats go for Wilfork? Can the two sides come to an agreement and have Wilfork start and finish his career with the Patriots? Leave a comment, what do you think will happen?
