Big Seven-Five

I do believe the Patriots showed Vince Wilfork the money this evening, as he signed a 5-year, $40 million extension with twenty-five of those millions guaranteed, ESPNBoston.com reports. This makes Wilfork the highest paid 3-4 nose tackle in history, and it also keeps a vital piece of that 30 front intact. Scouts and coaches alike always rave on about the importance of a good nose in the 3-4, and Wilfork is among the top 5 in the NFL.

Let's see if the Pats can keep this up.
