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

[BigWillie]

2023

33

$7,960,000

$2,000,000

$1,000,000

$1,020,000

Has a $1.02M per game roster bonus, could be another $17.34M cap hit, plus the $8.96M ($7.96M base and $1M roster bonus).

Reading that wrong. $60k per game active bonus that will total $1.02 million if he's active for every game.

He is to our real fans that know everything and complain about everything. Lol

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

 

[IceStar-D7]

He is only 32!!!!!!

Is 32 the new 23

I think the depth is much improved.

Diggs, Gilmore outside. Lewis inside.

Bland, Wright, Joseph are your dime, depth and special teams guys.

Lewis isn’t starting over Bland. I’d say very little chance he’s on the roster by June

 

[ChuckA1]

Are fans happy now?

I am ok with this, for a 5th and you know what he can do.
so don’t need to spend high draft capital at CB. Can focus on DT, WR, OL, LB, possible RB in the 1st 4 rounds.

Damn straight!

He loves to hit and tackle.

He would’ve destroyed Kittle in the playoffs last season.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Couldve had Ramsey for a third

This was a better trade for the Cowboys.

Easy call.

 

[Yobwocs]

Could definitely see WR. Could see RB if Robinson is there and we don't retain Elliott. Not sure about TE.

I'd like to see us go DT, WR, RB in the first three rounds in that order, depending on how things fall.

Unless we get a real dunk at DT in free agency, we're 100% going to select a DT. If Bijan falls to #24 I may consider drafting him, tho. But this DT spot needs to be addressed - fast. Every other position can be procrastinated a little bit.

Only a year prior "Gilmore was traded to the Carolina Panthers on October 6, 2021, in exchange for a sixth-round selection in the 2023 NFL Draft.[73] He appeared in eight games for Carolina, starting three, totaling 16 tackles and two interceptions."

He had a damaged knee that year. Had off season surgery, went to the Colts and was top ten last year.

 

[JayFord]

Give me a break, for some reason some people think 30 year olds require walking canes to play sports at that age. Athletes and Average Joes are not the same.

thats because we signed him

if another team got him for what we got him for the board would meltdown

 

[TheBigEasy]

These people on here are ridiculous. How can you cry about a top 10 corner for a 5th???

I remember a day when 95% of this board would be thrilled with this trade. The haters have clearly reproduced and have plans on destroying this once 'friendly' message board. At least you know where to spend some time when you're having a really poopy day and aren't in the mood to turn it around.

Lewis either starts or hes gone with that salary.

Serious upgrade. He is a former DPOY.

 

[Bullflop]

He had a good year last season with the Colts. Hopefully, he'll have enough left in the tank to repeat that with us. At 32, expectations will be limited, but his performance in 2023 will speak for itself. We might have done much worse. His history is extremely impressive, for sure. Good signing.

 

[irishline]

9.2mil salary this year

That is his cap hit (9.9 actually) which includes his $2 million signing bonus that the Colts just ate, so $7.9 salary.

Do you know the last time Dallas drafted a DT in the first round? They don't value the position as much as we do. Maybe Quinn can convince them, too, but I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[DoctorChicken]

This is a really great trade.

1 - it lets us be more flexible in the draft and not force a CB pick early

2 - it brings a veteran, All-Pro, Super Bowl winner into the locker room to train with young guys like Diggs/Bland

 

[baltcowboy]

It is mind boggling to trade for a corner instead of a WR


The CB class is deep while outside of my man JSN, the WR class is subpar

You will get OBJ for 20 million and like it.

[freemanjc19]

Seems like just giving away a pick.

Are you ever going to quit?
