Stephon Gilmore holding out?


Recommended Posts

PFT said that Gilmore's $7mm this year is really a lot more, but in a re-structure last year they moved (like $4.5mm iirc) from this year to last year, as cashish.

 

"His minicamp plans have been a question because he’s heading into the final year of his contract with a salary of $7 million after the team moved $4.5 million of his base salary into his 2020 compensation and missing all of this week’s work would signal he wants a new deal in New England."

 

So his real compensation for this year is much more than 7.  Yeah, $11.5mm might still be below market, but still . . .

 

And makes the argument "you signed the deal, so stop crying" much stronger in this situation.

FWIW, I dont mind giving up a second rounder to the Pats to get him. Would like to see Mahomes throw into White + Gilmore with Hydoyer lurking.

First, don't give a high pick to an AFCE team, particularly the Pats, for an aging player.

Second, Gilmore is looking for more than he's getting from the Pats ($7M).  Do you think the Bills have cash available?  

Third, it isn't the DBs who struggled against Mahomes, it was the LBs trying to stop Kelce.

 

If teams could spend unlimited money on players, sure, I'd love to have Gilmore back for a couple of years, during our SB window.  In the real world, it doesn't work.
