Stephon Gilmore released by Patriots (traded)

[JonesBoys]

He will end up with Tampa. I’m sure Brady is already calling him since they played together. Everyone runs to Brady.

 

[Cowboyny]

I am not sure he is healthy, heard he had a partial torn quad. I remember Marion Barber had that injury and it really hampered him.

 

[darthseinfeld]

4.4mil per OTC. Tampa has 3.3 per OTC as well

Maybe at this point he wants to go to a contender, with a need at corner, to boost his stock/rings and then cash in in 2022?

It might be doable then, if they do want him. Especially considering year 1 will be prorated (I believe)

They just signed Sherman, not that it matters all that much.

 

[Bobhaze]

This is why you don’t give up a draft pick in a trade for player who may be free later.

Assuming gilmore is healthy... he probably not what he used to be post ACL knee issues but is he still an immediate upgrade over brown?

One year rental?

 

[DallasInDC]

Time to go kick the tires!

 

[Stash]

Most seem to think Tampa Bay will get him.

Of course.

That was my first guess. But I’d have to see what their cap situation looks like. I think it’s pretty tight.

Never mind . Delete the thread

What a crazy 12 hours for nfl releases.

 

[J-man]

Tell me Jerry and Bob just did some back room colluding? They said, hey we can trade them to each other and pay their over priced salaries, or we can both just release them, take the lessor cap hit and sign them for peanuts. Brilliant!

 

[Redline360]

Going to run right to Brady and Gronk but I'll be happy to have him

 

[darthseinfeld]

That was my first guess. But I’d have to see what their cap situation looks like. I think it’s pretty tight.

From what John said, they are just under 4. Considering I think this year would be prorated, it might be workable if its a multiple year deal. If its a one year deal, then probably not. It would probably be too much to move around

 

[CTcowboy203]

He’ll be a buc by weeks end....maybe not them then the chiefs. I’d love him but let’s not count on it

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

So we don't have to trade Gallup

 

[NeathBlue]

What’s his contract hit if we deal the Patriots a 7th round pick for him?
From what I understand, both Gilmore and Jaylon could still be traded right up till they’re released at 4pm.
Nobody’s going to rush to sign Jaylon, but Gilmore will be highly sort after… might be worth offering a low round pick and see if New England will eat most of the salary that they’re otherwise paying for anyway.

Chiefs definitely need him

Did someone check the expiration date? Is the helicopter in the sky yet?

Did Jerry and Kraft make up?
