Stephon Gilmore is about to be released by the Patriots!

Gilmore is going to Tampa Bay 100% guarantee it lock it in goodnight thread over

[Luciu5]

His play has dropped off some.  He's still good, but I wouldn't call him elite anymore.

As to Tampa, they just signed Sherman, yall think they would turn around and sign Gilmore too?  I have no idea what Sherman got, but surely the Bucs don't have tons of cap with all the vets they have.

My immediate reaction is HELL NO! Not paying $15M for that.

But lets think about it this way. How much would it cost to keep Jackson (now that he's playing well)? If we signed Gilmore, could we turn Jackson into a nice draft pick next year (remember, we don't have a 2nd or 3rd rounder) OR maybe a decent OLineman now if we trade Jackson before the deadline? We have two pretty cheap corners on the books for the next couple of years, at least. Signing Gilmore to a 3-year deal could be ideal.

Just a thought...

Their top 3 corners are all injured. Sherman is old and Cockrell sucks. Gilmore would be a big improvement.

Yeah he is most likely a lock for TB, but it'll be interesting bc if he really wants 15M a year, that ain't gonna happen there lol.

I think they would rather sign the guys we have.  It's more likely Donte gets paid over us paying a guy on the wrong side of 30.

Not so sure that happens here either...

That may be the case as the main issue that I see is that his age would not fit the profile of the current roster.

they'll just pay him under the table like the pats did with brady for years

[LinvilleGorge]

Can he play LT?

[blackcat]

Sounds like he wants to get paid....would rather pay our own young talent than a 31 year old corner coming off of injuries.

Would love to have him, but with the recent trade for CJ Henderson I just don't see it.
