FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -New England Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork says he won’t let his contract dispute with the team affect his play on the field.
Wilfork is in the last year of a six-year contract. He says his future with the Patriots is “out of my control.”
Wilfork’s salary could reach about $2.2 million with incentives this season. But he’s considered vastly underpaid by NFL standards.
He says the last thing he wants to do is to go onto the field upset with the situation. He says then his teammates wouldn’t be able to trust him to do his job and he doesn’t want to put them in that position.
Wilfork signed as a rookie out of Miami in 2004. He has started 77 of 80 regular-season games during the past five years.
