Vince Wilfork reportedly signs new 3
New England Patriots defensive captain Vince Wilfork has broken his silence after reportedly coming to an agreement on a new 3-year deal.
The nose tackle, writing on Twitter, said he was close to ensuring he would retire a Patriot.
'It's been hard to remain quiet and let things take its course but it has been the best thing to do,' Wilfork wrote. 'Negotiations are never easy especially when you have a 10 year history with a team and more importantly relationships. For those who have supported me I thank you,' adding, 'for those who have called me every name in the book I thank you too.
'My intentions have never changed,' he wrote. '10 years ago my goal was to retire a patriot and as I sit here typing this I am closer to achieving my goal. I look forward to getting back to football and helping my team compete and have a chance at winning a Super Bowl.'
