Eight veteran NFL free agents that really should just retire

NFL free agents

Vince Wilfork, defensive lineman

Wilfork has a lot of mileage under his belt. He was originally selected by the New England Patriots in the first round of the 2004 NFL Draft.

Now at 35 years of age, the defensive tackle appears to be in no rush to make a decision regarding life beyond the pigskin.

Wilfork’s production has tapered down in recent years, and he has not recorded a quarterback sack since 2012. His combined tackles since signing on with the Houston Texans in 2015 are a mere 43.

When Wilfork finally decides to call it quits, he will do so as a five-time Pro Bowler and two-time Super Bowl Champion. That’s not too shabby. What would be cool is if the Patriots offered Wilford a one-day contract so he can officially retire with the team he spent 11 seasons with.
