TRADED Colts trade five-time Pro Bowl CB Stephon Gilmore to the Cowboys for a 5th round pick

[LatinMind]

Probably one of the best moves this FO has made in a long time. Now we need interior D Line and LB though.

Getting rid of Moore still tops it

EVERYTHING

you don't get anymore solid at a number 2 corner.....am i expecting shutdown ? no am i expecting 9 int's? no

i'm expecting solid reliable coverage

If the Eagle signed him, this forum would be calling Howie the biggest genius in the world and would be complaining about the Joneses not doing anything. Which I have called the front office out plenty times for their complacency when it comes to free agency. But not going to complain about this trade when we got another solid CB who is opposite of Diggs.

Wonder if Dallas can get a 7th from some team that thinks they can salvage him.

That'd be amazing. I hope we can pull that off.

 

[shabazz]

Apparently the Colts fans thought highly of him and expected a better trade compensation for him

this one is my favorite post from them


“Good riddance! We may have had the first pick if sticking Gilmore hadn't won us games!”

☆DIGGSY
☆GILMORE
☆BLAND
OH.
HELL.
YEAH.

He'll be 33 in September and that is old in NFL years. Still an excellent move for a solid CB. How long that lasts is another story.

He can still play. He should be fine for next year, I doubt we have long term plans for him.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Nah, you’re not missing anything. He was really good last year.

The year before last he had a bit of a down year because he played on a knee that was giving him trouble.

Then before last year he had his knee cleaned out and being healthy again, was his old pro bowl self.

Goodbye Kelvin Joseph. It has been nice.

You should teach a masterclass on NFL Roster Construction.

That strategy is brilliant.

yeah it's brilliant extending 32 year corners seems like a brilliant idea in todays NFL, kind of along the lines of paying a over rated running back big money n Zeke, or Dez or Jaylon Smith and his dead money on the cap...seems to be working out for this team, right?

If they can get a solid 2 seasons from this trade that would be great!!

Yup, need a NT and a LB. If we get those, this could be a very easy draft for us. We have S addressed. Weve addressed CB. We need NT, LB, OL, and WR. Probably a RB would help too. Another pass rusher would be very helpful for Parsons too if we can get one. Regardless, if we can get one or two quality pieces at those positions next in FA or through trades, this draft will be very easy

It really hasn't...

Good trade to get a still very good CB, can probably play a year or two more at a much higher level than A. Brown.

Did we extend him?

 

[jblaze2004]

Wow. I actually like Bland but Diggs, Gilly and Bland. could be a nice trio. Now we need to work on our defensive line. I would love to have a beast at DT.

 

[NotForLong]

Oh yeah . . . I wanted Him Last Year. . . . True Leader

 

[Big_D]

Now add Wagner..

 

[jblaze2004]

IDK if this is good or not but Pro Football Focus ranked Gilmore as the ninth-best cornerback in the NFL in 2022 according to defensive grade, which included a coverage grade of 81.1. His 11 passes defensed, two interceptions and 66 tackles support this evaluation. Not bad.
We made a move? wow. Wonder if this is the big move they were talking about?

 

[Havic]

I like it. We need depth with no idea how brown or Lewis will be + KJ has been a disaster

 

[NFCBeasts]

Upgraded a position did only a 5th… this is great trade.

 

[cmoney23]

Solid move for a 5th-round pick. He had a solid year last year in Indy.

Most here will be excited because of the name. But, could be worse for a 5th.
