So why are you advocating the signing of
Vince Wilfork? He's only a year younger than Franklin. Does one year make that big a difference in your line or reasoning? Yes. Wilfork is 18 months or so younger. Franklin's played in 2 more seasons than Wilfork . So in football years, he's 2 years younger. If he signs a 5 year deal, he'll just barely be older than Franklin is now in 2011...
