Patriots get assist from Vince Wilfork with Terrance Knighton signing

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots signed veteran defensive tackle Terrance Knighton to a one-year contract and credit longtime franchise stalwart Vince Wilfork for an assist in the process.

"I had a long talk with Vince Wilfork obviously before signing, and he was telling me that it’s a grind but at the end of the day it’s football. It’s a good environment to be around, it’s a good building to be in, and he had nothing but good things to say about the organization," Knighton relayed in his introductory conference call.
