First Round Bust Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 guy I work with is a long-time Pats season tix holder, we are talking decades, is very happy to hear that Cam is gone, he was not happy they signed him to begin with an used the word SUCKS when we would talk about Cam...Pats do have a lot of dead cap space, so if they get those pricey FA vets injured they have less flex this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Between his quad and him being "unhappy" with his contract I could see him just kind of riding out his last year in NE. He probably wants to make sure he's 100% and puts a few good games (if he plays at all this year) out there on film to get one more solid payday.

And if you really want to split hairs he was GIFTED that one over Tre. Yet thers is always drama and injury and then the invariable drama over his injury.

His shtick is aging out quickly He's in the final year of his deal and according to one site I saw he is the 13th highest paid CB in the league. He was pre-injury regarded as a top 3 CB in the league. Now I agree, he is 30 years old and his best days are probably past, but when healthy he is worth closer to 17M a year than the 13M he is getting for 2021. For perspective Ronald Darby is getting 10M this year. These are always incredibly hard choices for a GM to make. There are some players that can still excel even past age 30 at CB but it is rare. Replacing a CB of his quality in the draft will be hard and they probably overpay in FA for a lesser quality player. New England burned a ton of cap space on marginal players this past off-season and but they still have $14M they could use to pay Gilmore more for this year and next. It's a really tough situaiotn for a GM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The youth movement appears to be underway in earnest now in NE, so i wouldn't be surprised to see him traded.
