GunnerBill Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 They should. He had a couple of rough games in the first half of the season bur he has bounced back brilliantly.

K-9 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 They might keep him since they will be letting TT go and have the room, but it is up to Gilmore who I think won't settle for anything less than top money to stay in Buffalo. I don't care either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Got the tag, may as well use it... unless u expect to be bad in which case collect the comp pick.

But not at highest paid CB in the league money. And they are right to take that stance. Gilmore is not worth 15 million a year. Neither is Josh Norman.

He is going to make a lot of money provided he stays healthy. The Bills need cbs desperately. Will they try to keep him? I'll eat crow here. Several weeks ago I posted that NO WAY should they pay him, but he has played very very well for the past 5 or 6 games - and he has had little in the way of pass rush help over those games. Â I think that Aaron Williams was a big loss and is likely to retire. I'd take the savings from his retirement and give them to Gilmore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 My my, how the tables turn. Â He wanted AB, Rex let him have at it. Besides that one catch, did he let Brown have anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridge Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I've been fairly critical of Gilmore during games but it's mostly because of his general demeanor and his lack of ball play chasing down throws over his head. He's actually been pretty alright, I just don't think he deserves top money. He's deifnitely not as bad as people make him out to be, it's just incredibly easy to notice him because he has such a hard time tracking the ball on deep throws.

Â I think that Aaron Williams was a big loss and is likely to retire. I'd take the savings from his retirement and give them to Gilmore. I'm not sure it would be savings. There would still be a cap hit of some degree I believe. We also can't forget that if they move on from Tyrod they have to sign a FA QB. How much would that cost? I would like to see Gilmore/Woods/Alexander come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmur66 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 He is good and all of that but is there a softer CB after giving up a play? This is a serious question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 The opportunity cost of losing him far exceeds the franchise tag amount. This team has too many holes at QB, free safety, strong safety, RT, and WR to let him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
