Wilfork Won't Hold Out From Patriots

Speaking on Boston's WEEI this morning, Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork said he skipped last week's OTA practices because of dissatisfaction but added that he's "going to give 100 percent" adding "I'll be ready to play this season.

Wilfork is entering the final year of the six-year deal he signed as a rookie. He's due to make $2.2 million in salary this year. His value as one of the NFL's premier 3-4 nose tackles is much higher, however.

Wilfork wants to get it done with the Patriots.

"I could care less about what people think...I don't want to leave," he said. "We're doing everything in our power to get (a contract) done. I try not to talk about it, I'm trying to stay positive. I want to be a Patriot, but there's a business part of it."
