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

[KJJ]

Definitely an upgrade. My post was before we knew who the trade was for.

Despite Gilmore’s age, he’s a better option than Anthony Brown who wasn’t playing well last year before he was injured. This trade should improve us at that position.

washed up? lmao, someone doesnt pay attention to football

Googles age: "dude is washed."

Some guys just need to be miserable.

Great pick up. Secondary will be scary if the pass rush maintains its pressure rate.

He is probably a band aide trade. They need 3 starters for this year and unless you really love Lewis they dont have that. For a 5th if he only plays 1 year here thats great value

Bland, Diggs and Gillmore?

Watch what he did last season not the candles on his birthday cake
He played really well

 

[Malhavoc]

Really the only issue anyone should have is the age. Played close to an All Pro level last year. The goal is to get better, and he is better by a wide margin than Brown. Heck he was better that Diggs by a good margin.

Those would be your starters. Bland will play the slot as Gilmore only 12 slot snaps last year

They should. Williams is gonna be better and hopefully we play Micah a bit less and keep him fresh

 

[Cowboys0988]

He almost single handily beat Dallas last year. Former All Pro, former defensive player of the year and we got him for a comp pick.

I guess people would rather have another Matt Waletzko?

Folks just wanna complain... Its 2023... Be Outraged! Cowboys get an All Pro CB that was easily a top 10 CB last year for a 5th round pick and folks still aint happy.. lol

Crazy good pickup, we all saw how our defensive line "looked bad" when brown and lewis went out, now they have extra time to put the pressure on.
Now hopefully Wagner and/or LVE to help the middle with a DT hopefully

He’s got one year left on his contract so very little risk and a cheap price for a top tier CB
What’s not to like?

Jerry finally opened up the pocket book. Gilmore @ $9.92M for one year. The secondary is now complete for 2023.

Hopefully they can get Micah more snaps in the 2nd level. Less wear and tear.

3rd thread on this

Expect a couple of more - by the usual CZers that JUST HAVE TO CREATE ANOTHER ONE --- instead of just commenting on previously existing posts.

 

[zrinkill]

I openly hate this front office ....... but this is a good trade ....... congrats to the front office

I agree
I think we over played him on the edge this year.

 

[NotForLong]

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!”

 

[Verdict]

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

This sounds a lot better than the prior text.

 

[Verdict]

Just don't extend him with a new contract, let him play out the year and move on....

Wouldn’t it be nice to receive a 3rd or 4th round comp pick when he leaves? We can wish. Lol.

Trevon Diggs googling "how to tackle, but I'm afraid" right about NOW
