He seems like a win now rental.  Which isn’t us. 

Not that i disagree with what others are saying, but you add him to this D and that looks like a playoff defense, if it isnt already. That said, I say remain patient.

Stephon Gilmore, the 2019 defensive player of the year, certainly brings superior cornerback skills to the table . However, Gilmore turns 31 on September 19; he could be on the verge of seeing his abilities begin to diminish.

Last year, the Patriots moved $4.5 million of Gilmore’s 2021 salary to 2020. Typically, that results in the player getting a new deal in lieu of playing for a reduced salary in the following year. And the Patriots seem to be willing to do something with Gilmore’s contract; however, if it was enough from Gilmore’s perspective the deal would be done.

A trade presumably is on the table for Gilmore. A new team would have to be willing to pay Gilmore what he wants, too and to satisfy the Patriots with an appropriate trade offer.

That is the thing. If Gilmore wants a trade to get a multi-year big contract it sure won't be here. Now if he doesn't get traded he will sign with the Patriots for a 1 year deal and cash in next year when the cap goes way up. He is just asking for a trade to see what interest he can get from other teams.  It should be interesting to see how this develops but I don't see us being a player in that market.

Yeah, having some key vets to mentor our younger players would be nice but spending a bunch of coin on a guy on his way out of the league is, as was stated in this thread already, a very Rivera/Hurney move.

Roll with what we have now. If our offseason was a success, awesome. Keep building. If it was a failure, back to the drawing board in the 2022 offseason to figure out how to keep getting better.

No dumb cap moves, no lengthy free agent deals, no bad trades for vets. None of that.

Can I play Devils advocate?  K. 😉

Next year our cap opens up and we have a considerable amount no?

What if  knowing the books will clear next offseason, they use this year as a one shot deal to try and make a run?

Cooky stuff but fun af to think about. 
A couple one year rentals.  What’s the worst that could happen? Our 4th consecutive losing season? 

What. ever. would. we. do?

Absolutely not. 

That is prime Hurney thinking.

Don't see us going all in at this point. If we underachieve this year you might be right about next year but right now I don't see an all in season yet.

We just drafted the best Gamecock corner of all time, why would we give up assets and pay a large contract to Gilmore

I mean, Horn is a very nice prospect.   

Best Gamecock corner of all time? Nah.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
