I cannot remember the base defense of the Patriots, but isn’t he primarily a man and not zone corner?

I know Snow developed a reputation for running zone last season, but that was more out of necessity because of our personnel at the time.  Drafting Horn and Taylor, paired with Donte, plus looking st our scheme this year, we are actually running a ton more man.  I dont have any stats on it, but just from observing the games, I would venture to say we are primarily running man now, and if not, it's gotta be real close.  Gilmore would be an incredible get, but I have a feeling he's gonna end up in Tampa, too.  I really hope we try though.

He's still one of the best CBs in the NFL (when healthy)

Is he healthy? Who knows. 

I can't see CAR being a legit contender unless we offer him a huge deal (which is risky and doesn't play into us trying to maintain cap flexibility) or he really wants to be back in the Carolinas. I can see us offering him a one year loaded deal. The problem is if he wants to do a one year deal why not sign with the Bucs (whose secondary is now complete trash) or the Chiefs and be on an instant contender?

 

I'd love to have Gilmore mentor Jaycee though.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
