Stephon Gilmore released by Patriots (traded)

[Denim Chicken]

the fact that teams know he’ll be released lowers his trade value immensely. Really comes down to if cowboys are willing to trade for a likely rental and or money

Not really when he reportedly wants $15mil on the free agent market and you can trade for his current $7 mil contract.

 

[john van brocklin]

No, please no.

Lol
Don't pick on rocky

There is just no freaking way they randomly decided yesterday to release Jaylon then 12 hours later we find out Gilmore is released.

At the very least I would think they are extremely interested.

One has nothing to do with the other. They got zero 2021 salary cap relief for releasing Jaylon Smith. His salary was fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the league year back in March.

We have waited too long for a Ring . . . All the building is for a Championship . . . Now is the time

We are not promised tomorrow

Up until this week . . . no one was sure of our Defense

Now the last question mark is CB2. . . and there is a stud avaiable.

We have to acquire him not only because He makes this team better but because we cant let anyone else improve.

In a passing league. . . . Acquiring Gilmore is necessary

I admire your passion. For your sake, I hope they do work something out with him. You would clearly be over the moon happy.

 

[CTcowboy203]

Nothing to be honest. Not because I don't think he's still good and an upgrade, but because I don't want to make a bad cap situation even worse, while giving up draft capital to do it. But that's just me.

financially makes sense and likely the most logical reason not to. I guess the question becomes do you (really Jerry) think Gilmore gets us over the top or at least a true super bowl contender

 

[Jipper]

This guy is going to cost too much for us...bet he ends up at a team like carloina...

Yes and No . . . by announcing they will release Him. It forces team to make a decision now or forever hold their peace. . . kind of like a 1 day auction. . . there is some talk of the Packers pushing for a deal at the final HR . . . especially now that everyone figures its a foregone conclusion Gilmore is Joining Tampa if no one trades for him

Belicheck may be working the phones and playing 1 GM off of another.

Every Fan of a contender wants him on their team.

Belicheck is sly like a Fox.

you don’t have to pay him....you can trade for him for a half season rental and if it doesn’t work out not pay him.

 

[bewp7]

they saying he want to play for the packers

teams have already backed off when they found out what his new contract demands are

Jerry certainly has in the past. He's often felt we were 'one player away', even when we clearly weren't. And those deals are often the ones we end up regretting the most.

That's the dilemma I have, do I think we might be a true contender, especially with Gilmore? Yeah, we just might be. And in that case, do you essentially go 'all in' this year while you have the chance? A lot of players (and possibly coaches) currently here, won't be after the season anyway. It's not an easy question to answer either way.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

So he gets cut.....and geniuses on this site wanted the Cowboys to trade Gallup and a 3rd rounder for him.....SMH......some of y'all complain about Jerry but even he wasn't that stupid lol.

definitely, it’s ironic we made “one piece away “ trades when we clearly weren’t lol and now we may actually be and we likely sit it out.

 

[quickccc]

Still believe management feel Joseph can be the long-term answer at the position.

But how do they feel about his play and contribution This year ?
What's his role and impact this year ?

And Anthony Brown is clearly our biggest glowing sore spot among starters, ..and among the secondary.

Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't!

 

[Captain43Crash]

Why would the Cowboys release one defective player for another?

Clueless!

 

[Carson]

Report on twitter that CB Holton Hill released by Cowboys from PS....hmmmmmmm.......cannot document it but you can look it up.

Hill made room for Isaiah Johnson

 

[Denim Chicken]

That's what I was saying. Makes sense to trade for him and then let him go in FA--should be a pretty good comp pick too if he plays well.

 

[CATCH17]

Not only that. This team wants to be dynamic with its blitzes and you got one of the best if not the best man to man corners in football available.

You can send the house and know that your 2 corners can give you a ton of time for your pressure to get there.

Should be interesting to see. I have to believe Dallas is looking to do this but money may be what doesn’t get it done.


Tampa won’t be concerned with money though. They’ll just spend.

Good . . . less competition lol

Only way he comes here is for 1 season . . . He doesn't fit in long term . . . that s why I felt the only way we acquire Him is in a trade scenario

Hopefully if He is released He is willing to come be apart of what the Cowboys got cooking in Big D

If He comes here and gets us deep in the Playoffs . . . he will definately answer all questions and get paid whatever He is asking for . . . in 2022
