There is nothing imminent on a potential return for CB Stephon Gilmore

[Whyjerry]

I like Gilmore but if Diggs is good to go they don’t need him. Spend the money at DT or RB.

 

[Sydla]

Of course not.

Because he's likely holding out for something more than the minimum offer we've likely made thus far.

So he can sit around, work out on his own, see how camp develops for teams and likely sign in August when someone gets hurt, etc and likely for more than we'd pay him.

Save the money for dead cap space. For players we overpaid, kept too long and are un-trade-able, on hopes of a comp pick.

I thought the cowboys would bring him back but where does he play? After bringing Lewis back the cowboys seem to have their starting trio of CBs.

Diggs will take a minute I assume

 

[DuncanIso]

Would be sad to see him go but it doesn't look we have much interest so far

It’s the cap.

We are negative 9 million as of this afternoon.

No cap.

Not sure where we even get the $$$ to pay our rookies.

 

[DuncanIso]

I’m still wearing #21 to camp.

Don't believe Gillmore fits Zimmer's defence.

Yeah well I was trying to be positive but you are right. Anything coming will be a dumpster dive on a 1 year deal.

 

[G2]

You cannot have too many solid DBs. The last couple of seasons clearly illustrate this. So Dallas will most likely wait and do nothing.

DLaw and Martin we account for over $19M in Dead Cap space next year. Hopefully neither retire and we can get some more comp picks.

 

[Killerinstinct]

I think they will either sign Gilmore or Patrick Peterson. Whichever one drops his price to 3 mil per year.

They will sign no one. If anything it will be a DT.

say what?

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Why are people caught up on this?

We haven’t signed a player for more than one year, $1.3 million. Why would they all of a sudden dish out $10 million for Gilmore

Good player, solid depth, coach on the field, worth having on a contending team,,, don't think we're one of those teams though.
Of course if we don't sign him then the team will catch fire but we'll have injury issues in the secondary.
That's how it works.

 

[mattjames2010]

Our secondary is going to be really bad this season.

Our secondary is going to be really bad this season.

How? Diggs and Bland are among the best CBs in the league. The rest of the team might suck but CB is a strength.

 

[John813]

I don't think Gilmore is in a rush either. Maybe waiting for that unfortunate TC injury to a starting corner where he can slide in.
Gets to miss some of the TC gruel and could be starting off the bat

So you believe Diggs will be worse than Gilmore?

 

[Kolemmitt]

Don't believe Gillmore fits Zimmer's defence.

I was thinking he would make a nice slot corner, with the ability to back up the outside, in case Diggs isn't ready, but the signing of Lewis probably ended that possibility.
