New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft says his team is close to working out a long-term contract with nose tackle Vince Wilfork.
“We have a budget we’ve set for next year. Our first priority is with Vince,” Kraft told Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald. “I think we’ve had some positive discussions. We’re very close. I hope we can conclude it soon.”
Wilfork and his wife, Bianca, have both indicated that they want the Patriots to give him a long-term deal. Kraft said that’s what he wants, too.
“Look, we love Vince,” Kraft said. “He and Bianca have been a special part of our franchise. We love having him here. I hope here’s here for a long time to come. We’re trying to do everything we can to make that happen.”

I’m sure many of the fans hope that here’s there for a long time to come too. Bring back comment ratings.
They must be close because Bob Kraft does not discuss ongoing Patriots negotiations in the public. He always defers to BB
He’s a good soldier, wore a microphone under his shoulder pads before Belicheat was busted.
Hush money on the way Vince.
“I hope here’s here for a long time to come”
get that fixed quick before all the loser that just come on your page to bash your simple mistakes!
It’s done. For all of you suckers waiting for the body to be cast away…. E.S.A.D.
Great news for Patriots’ fans and let’s hope the words prove to be true.
Here’s another response from Kraft regarding Moss’ comments about how “the Patriots don’t pay”:

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you.
First Vince then Logan Mankins!! The only other FA I would make a priority is Kevin Faulk. The rest can go kick rocks. I think after Mar 5th when they can dump Thomas you will see Vince and Logan locked up long term
Up next, Logan Mankins….
This would be great news if NE can lock up Vince Wilfork for several more years.
Point blank.
Word is Mrs. Wilfork plays a mean nose tackle too.
