Bill Belichick spoke Thursday about Michael Vick. "You know, Michael's an outstanding player," Belichick said when asked about him on the first day of training camp.

Nose tackle Vince Wilfork will be in attendance on Thursday for the first day of Patriots training camp, despite no movement in contract talks. His agent, Kennard McGuire, said Wednesday he?s disappointed the situation has come to this. ?Although our dialogue has been ongoing, we just have not achieved the level of comfort for Vince,?? McGuire said. ?In a profession where production and durability equals reward, I?m terribly disappointed that we have not found common ground in what a player of Vince Wilfork?s value truly is. ?Our desire was, and is, a commitment to Vince that equals the one he has made to the organization. We?re just not there. For a man who is as passionate to the game as Vince Wilfork is, I truly feel this is unjust.??

Wilfolk will be at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro on Thursday for double sessions, according to sources.

It's a possibility if I reach that part I won't be here, and I don't want that to happen," Wilfork said last month. "That's why I'm doing everything in my will power to stick around, get something done before the end of this season. "I'm pretty sure the Patriots are going to do the same thing. There's no bad blood here. I know the Krafts are the same way. They know what kind of player and person I am."
