Analysis:

The Patriots will decline to pick up the team option on Wilfork's contract, so he will be free to explore other opportunities at the onset of free agency. The 33-year-old defensive tackle tallied 47 combined tackles in 2014, but didn't record a sack for the second straight year. The report, which was relayed by Schefter, came from Wilfork's personal Twitter account.
