Leftovers from Vince Wilfork's Draft Party

Leftovers from Vince Wilfork's draft party Friday, May 9, 2014 By:Karen Guregian Vince Wilfork held his 11th annual draft night fundraiser last night at Pinz Entertainment in Milford. As always, the event was well attended, and the Patriots defensive lineman raised a ton of money for the Vince Wilfork Foundation, the Joclin Diabetes Center and the Diabetes Research Institute. Here are a few leftover odds & ends from the event: While Wilfork and wife Bianca addressed the crowd, thanking everyone for their continued support, Big Vince declined all media requests. So we can't tell you how he's progressing from his Achilles surgery, or if he'll be participating in any of the upcoming organized team activities or mini-camp. We also can't convey his thoughts since signing an extension with the Pats, and what went down leading up to that extension. Aaron Dobson, who had surgery on his left foot two months ago (March 10) to repair a stress fracture, is still in a walking boot. At least, he had one on at the Wilfork's draft night event. He also opted not to speak with the media when asked. It's hard imagining him taking part in the organized team activities if he's still in a boot. Wilfork always draws a crowd. By my count - and there might have been more - there were 21 current Patriot players in attendance counting Vince, a list that included Tom Brady, Darrelle Revis, Jerod Mayo, Chandler Jones, Julian Edelman, Rob Ninkovich and Dont'a Hightower. Wilfork even drew an outsider, as Bears receiver Brandon Marshall also attended, hanging out with the Patriots. Marshall is in town taking a class at Harvard. .

Watt Just Happened: JJ Watt Agrees to Sign With
Watt Just Happened: J.J. Watt Agrees To Sign With Cardinals Defensive end stuns NFL with decision to come to Arizona A year after making an NFL splash by trading for a Houston Texan, the Cardinals stunned the league again Monday by bringing in another former Texans All-Pro. Defensive end J.J. Watt, who ever since his release from Houston last month was rumored to go to a handful of places but never Arizona, ended up agreeing to sign with the Cardinals. Watt made the announcement on Twitter, with the team putting out a release a few minutes later saying it is a two-year contract. Multiple reports have the deal for the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year for potentially $31 million, with $23 million guaranteed. It made the Instagram post by former and now current teammate DeAndre Hopkins recently – where Hopkins posted an edited photo of he and Watt hugging, both in Cardinals uniforms, with the caption "Let's finish what we started" – look prescient. Watt, who will turn 32 later this month, fits into a defensive line that needed a veteran and in a locker room that could use his leadership. With fellow veteran Chandler Jones returning from injury, the Cardinals should be helped in their pass rush regardless of what happens with free agents-to-be Haason Reddick and Markus Golden. Watt played in all 16 games for the Texans in 2020. He had five sacks – his lowest total in a season in which he played fully – and an interception, seven passes defensed, two forced fumbles and 14 tackles for loss.
