I know we have a glutton at CB at the moment, but not a solid option (that we currently know of) opposite Diggs. Gilmore would instantly solidify our starting CB’s … and NE wants to shop him. He should have at least 2 good years left in him. And he is a MUCH better option than Richard Sherman. I was pushing for this before the draft and so was Mike Fisher — and he still is.

On another note, there is something about Kelvin Joseph that I just don’t trust yet. Can’t put my finger on it, but I wouldn’t put too much hope in him at the moment. He has the skill set, but only time will tell if he has the mental focus needed for us to trust him completely.

With Gilmore, here’s how I would see our secondary shaping up:
  • S. Gilmore (CB)
  • T. Diggs (CB)
  • A. Brown (CB)
  • J. Lewis (CB)
  • CJ Goodwin (Special teams)
  • N. Wright (CB)
  • K. Joseph (CB)
  • I. Mukuamu (S)
  • D. Wilson (S)
  • D. Kazee (S)
I know I only have 3 safeties listed, but don’t forget - Keanu Neal could play safety in a pinch.
before I blow big resources Im finding out what I got

Jones boys would never do that.

easy to say and in a vacuum yes we could use the talent. But what is the cost? Is now the time to go for it if we can find a way to sign him to the big contract he wants knowing it'll cause cap casualties later?

As I said:
”I know we have a glutton at CB at the moment, but not a solid option (that we currently know of) opposite Diggs. Gilmore would instantly solidify our starting CB’s…”
We have 3 solid options. AB, a high second rounder and the 3rd rounder having good camps so far. No need to get the old big money guy we need youth and speed

Play young and fast with 5 year rights. Gilmore is not a difference maker to this defense (DL is weak) and is 31. Play Donovan Wilson, Kevin Joseph, Wright, and others. Stop blocking your defense development.

1975 Cowboys took 12 rookies (Dirty Dozen) to the Super Bowl, Jimmy Johnson started rookies on defense all his years in Dallas, and Parcells 2005 draft is praised for focusing on defense and playing rookies (that got a trip to the playoffs).

Stop looking in other team's trash cans for players.

why the flip should they the OP needs to know why waste resources on aging CB when you have roster full of younger ones, yes he mentioned it but would have killed his post afar he reread what he wrote..

add to that isnt Rsherman still out there? will be some more vets cut by game 1 roster cut downs, go get one of them if by then you feel the young guys are not ready and /or AB Lewis arent getting it done..

with dak back and AC, LAMB, AND GALLUP running first team against or starting DBs , i believe the FO will know in august if they need hep..i mean going against that WR Core every day in TC, coaches will for sure see whos got it and who doesnt....

Have to agree with blueblood70 in that in August we are going to find out how the defense holds up in several places and then decisions on what to do with experienced free agents will be in the mix. Those first 3 preseason games are really going to be key, glad we have 4 preseason games this year.

Gilly is at the age where CB's start declining. This would be a trade of monumentally stupid proportions.
