Did Panthers sign Stephon Gilmore too?

Has there been any indication that Gilmore wants to sign here? Besides Clowney trying to get him here and the Panthers making a play, has he said anything about it? 

The silence is deafening.

Ehhh...silence is just silence.

I wouldn't put too much into it one way or the other.

I'm sure he wouldn't mind coming back home to possibly finish out his career.

I'm sure he's also talking to Clowney, to see what he saw here and some other older guys about what they see with this new staff. Morgan is probably reaching out as well.

Biggest thing is the money will have to be enough to justify it. We've got a little left. I'm sure we could scrape enough together.

Also, I'm not really seeing much in the way of suitors. I'm sure there are talks with other teams, but I think we're making the biggest push.

Also, if you listen to Clowneys presser he said he was talking to Gilmore about coming down here and Clowney said Gilmore is trying to get them to bring him home....so there's that

Damm that’s actually great news in my opinion he’ll come if we pay him respectably. We definitely have a very good chance it seems he knows what we have the D seems to forming up nicely strong upfront presence (Brown, A Rob, and Clowney). With a really good backend if he signs usually produces a strong defense. Being able to stop the run or minimize it leads to passing plays. More passing leads to picks and strip sacks when you have a strong DB group, usually contract year players show up and show out so considering that Horn will probably show out this year.

It's important to maintain a solid defense as that will help the offense. We can more take chances knowing the defense can stop teams most of the time. The worse thing is being too conservative on offense because we have to keep "pinning them" deep in their side of the field. If we have a good defense, I see (and hope for) more 4th & 1, 4th and 2 plays and maybe a fake FG or punt once in a while.

    • I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.
    • The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24. 
    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
