Suggs-like extension coming for Vince Wilfork?

Terrell Suggs just signed a 4 year extension that keeps him in Baltimore through 2018 while simaltaneously saving the Ravens some cap room. The deal saved the Ravens $4 million, according to ESPN, so could the Patriots give Vince Wilfork a similar type of deal? Vince Wilfork's current cap hit is $11.6 million, so the Patriots could be thinking about talking to Wilfork about a similar type of extension that gives them more cap flexibilty, Field Yates of ESPN Boston writes.

It's hard to project just how much money Wilfork would seek on the open market next offseason and where the Patriots would value him if they discussed an extension right now, but Suggs' new deal with the Ravens seems like a plausible course of action for the Patriots as they continue to evaluate their offseason finances.

This seems like it would it could be a viable course, and if it gives them a little more cap flexibility, then I say go for it. Personally, I would like to see Wilfork in New England for the rest of his career. The Vince Wilfork jersey hanging in my closet would like him to stick around a few more years as well.
