YoloinOhio Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 @jayskurski From @viccarucci and myself: The #Bills will not use the franchise tag on CB Stephon Gilmore this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hearing Carolina is not as likely as landing spot for him as once was... This maybe part of I've heard the still possibility of re-signing in blo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 I think they could still work on an extension, but are going to tell him to test the market since he wants top 5 money. If he gets it, good for him and good luck. If not, we're open for negotiation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baskingridgebillsfan Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 5-60 would be my offer . maybe over pay on the guaranteed money . My guess he gets much more on the open market, they always do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I would let this guy run out of here. Just draft the next CB this year in the 1st. FA CBs are too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDD Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 He gone. Once a strength, our secondary is now in shambles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike in Horseheads Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. However your always welcome back at a responsible price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 He gone. Once a strength, our secondary is now in shambles. It's amazing what Rex did with the #4 defense he inherited. I agree there needs to be a cap at how much you are going to pay Gilmore but some of you are going to be very surprised how big of a loss this will be.

Augie Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I would let this guy run out of here. Just draft the next CB this year in the 1st. FA CBs are too expensive. That generally seems to be very true. Keep drafting DB's and find some gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 He's a bad tackler according to Sal C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 That generally seems to be very true. Keep drafting DB's and find some gems. Someone warn BillfromNYC! FA cbs are really expensive. But most of the top cbs are normally found in the 1st round. So either way, you are spending a lot of money or a high pick to replace a cb. And replacing good players with high draft picks is a Bills' tradition of how to keep spinning its wheels. He's a bad tackler according to Sal C. Honest question: how many corners are great tacklers? Sherman comes to mind. But as a whole, do you want a 190 lbs going head up with guys like Blount? Tackling isn't a top priority for a corner imo.

Augie Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Winfield is the one guy I REALLY wish we had gone all out to keep. The others I can think of offhand, not so much at crazy prices. Paying Revis like he was made no sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 I would be careful in making him an offer and waiting too long so he can not accept it. Would rather they be aggressive in a lesser offer to a zone coverage corner to team up with Darby......just find scheme fit zone coverage dbs and press on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan_34 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Because hes not a top ten corner therefore you dont give him top 5 pay. Smart move imo. Winfield is the one guy I REALLY wish we had gone all out to keep. The others I can think of offhand, not so much at crazy prices. Paying Revis like he was made no sense to me. Excellent in run support- sure tackler- was sad to see him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather they be aggressive in a lesser offer to a zone coverage corner to team up with Darby......just find scheme fit zone coverage dbs and press on they already made him one offer before the season and it was reported they would make him one more before FA. If he doesn't take it, it gets pulled when he hits the market .

Last year, people were saying he was better than Gilmore. Darby was pretty bad this year and much worse than Gilmore. I still think he can be a good player but it's never a guarantee.
