Do the New England Patriots have someone to fill Vince Wilfork’s shadow? | New England Patriots
New England went into the offseason with a big contract at defensive tackle with veteran Vince Wilfork taking up a big chunk of salary cap space despite having reworked his deal the year before. Wilfork was released, but the Patriots brought back underrated young nose tackle Sealver Siliga and mid-season acquisition veteran Alan Branch. Pass rushing youngster Chris Jones and undersized defensive tackle Joe Vellano return, too. In addition, last year’s first-round draft pick was joined by another top college player at the position.
