Inigo Montoya Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) Beane never likes to go into a draft with a whole in the roster. Our CB position is the last glaring need in our roster. Levi is gone and there's a good chance Tre won't be finished rehabing his knee before the start of the season. The available free agent CBs are getting pretty thin; Gilmore, Joe Hayden, Kyle Fuller, Patrick Peterson, Xavier Rhodes, Tavon Young, Chris Harris, Janoris Jenkins are still out there. Of all those guys I think Gilmore has the most juice left. He is coming off that big contract with the Pats that was paying him $10+ million a year and then signed with the Panthers last year for just $7 million. I'm sure he is looking for another big multi-year deal but he may not get one. If he doesn't, he might be willing to bite on a one year prove it deal in Buffalo and then look to cash in next year. Buffalo would be an ideal spot for a one year prove it deal. He would likely be playing on a team with a lead in the 4th quarter with opposing QBs pressing to score some points. He would also likely be lined up on the opponent's WR2 when Tre gets back. That sounds like a great situation to start stacking some interceptions. I know a lot of people here don't like Gilmore because of how he left Buffalo, but that was with the old regime, and honestly, the old regime was a dumpster fire and I don't blame him for wanting to go to a real franchise. If Beane can swing a one year deal on Gilmore I think that would put us over the top. A secondary of Tre, Gilmore, Poyer, Hyde, and Taron Johnson would be scary. A one year $8-10 million fully guaranteed contract and a chance at a Super Bowl just might just get it done.

NewEra Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I don’t think gilmore has any interest in 8-10M to play in Buffalo when he can make more elsewhere. He has his ring.

Could have sworn he made negative comments about the area when he left but that was some time ago and might not matter at this point especially if the market drys up and his options dwindle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But looking at his last four seasons he hasn't been making as much money as I expected he would. According to Over the Cap he has made 9, 10, 14, and 7 million dollars over the last four seasons. When you look at those numbers a fully guaranteed $10 million isn't that unreasonable. https://overthecap.com/player/stephon-gilmore/255/ Edited March 21, 2022 by Inigo Montoya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 The big signings are done. We're on to the Draft. Our signings going forward are Marquel Lee, Matt Barkley, Duke Johnson, David Mancz level acquisitions. Beane said at his Presser they're pretty much done and signings going forward are going to be the 1-year types to improve players stocks next year that "value opportunity over money".

Cover skills aside, he never wanted to be here the first time. Dude celebrated on social media in our faces the day he went to our most bitter rival. For me, it goes all the way to draft night where he didn't even crack a smile at the podium as a top 10 draft pick in the NFL draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a poor tackler sometimes not making effort. He sets blame on other players on team on the field which does not help playing and many times it was apparently his issue. He seemed to save himself and end of seasons when playoffs were out of reach. No way do I want him getting a fully guaranteed contract going into training camp. He could decide he does not want to practice, go into season out of shape, etc. Basically the former cheater may cheat the Bills and not think twice about it for "his people" will not see it.
