True to his word, nose tackle Vince Wilfork will be in attendance today for the first day of Patriots training camp, despite no movement in contract talks. His agent, Kennard McGuire, said yesterday he’s disappointed the situation has come to this.
“Although our dialogue has been ongoing, we just have not achieved the level of comfort for Vince,’’ McGuire said. “In a profession where production and durability equals reward, I’m terribly disappointed that we have not found common ground in what a player of Vince Wilfork’s value truly is. “Our desire was, and is, a commitment to Vince that equals the one he has made to the organization. Today, we’re just not there. For a man who is as passionate to the game as Vince Wilfork is, I truly feel this is unjust.’’
DL Ty Warren, who had off-season groin and abdmominal surgery, and second-year OLB Shawn Crable, who figures to battle for Mike Vrabel’s old spot, will begin training camp on the team’s physically unable to perform list, a league source has confirmed. Also on the list are offensive tackle Mark LeVoir, as well as rookie offensive lineman Rich Ohrnberger and rookie defensive lineman Darryl Richard. All five were placed on the active PUP, meaning they are eligible to return to camp at any time.
