2306499, Vince Wilfork asks to be waived by Pats

My guess is that they asked to restructure his contract and he refused. I wouldn't be completely stunned if they gave him the option to leak that he asked to be released first rather than being unceremoniously dumped by the team. (Also, it would be good for the team if he asked to be released rather than them cutting a locker room leader.)

Crushing loss as a fan but given the cap and his injury, it's probably the best move for the Pats.
