@Tbishop206 tweeted at Softy and Fieldgulls that Vince Wilfork was seen in Bellevue along with Williams and Graham.

I follow Field Gulls, so saw it that way. Not sure if that makes it credible, but it's an entertaining rumor.

I doubt it. Mebane is better and younger. I would guess it would be a "Kevin Williams" type of deal.

I have a hard time believing they could sign Wilfork and re-sign Wagner, assuming Wilson gets the sort of money we think he might. Maybe they want to convert Wilfork to center?

Seems unlikely that Graham would already be in Seattle. This is most likely a #twittertroll

Were they at El Gaucho again? That place got some good food haha.

Hope it's true.

Sad truth: All large black men in Bellevue get mistaken for football players.

But apparently there was a 6'6 ginger sighted with them too.

You're probably right, on further reflection. I got excited once FieldGulls and Softy started giving it more airtime.

Nope, the money it would take to sign Wilfork + Mebane's already on the books cap hit is prohibitive. Can't have that much money tied up in aging DTs.

Mebane coming off a nasty injury with a significant cap hit would seem to be a clear connector to signing a guy that plays the nose. Williams doesn't really compare as he is versatile enough to play 3-tech as well.

Can't see it.

If it did happen I think it would be a challenge to Mebane. Pay cut or gone. But I can't see it happening.

Not unlikely at all. Graham has to come and pass a physical for the trade to be completed, and teams always want/try to get them to town on one of the first available same-day flights to do so if possible.

per Aaron Levine's twitter.

It was actually Knighton that has been spotted, not Wilfork.
