Never say never. Certainly sounds dramatic but Wilfork’s been gone on vacation for a while now, so this is somewhat old news even though we’re just hearing about it now. For anyone who went through Wilfork’s last contract negotiation, it certainly was just as contentious as this seems now.
Ultimately I think it boils down to what is Vince going to get out on the open market. If you’re another team you have to be a little wary of signing him to a big deal coming off a major injury with all the mileage he has on him.
It really makes the most sense for him to return to the Pats and finish out his career as a Patriot so I still hold out hope that cooler heads prevail.
