It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Interesting thought.I know the thought of pairing Gilmore with another top-flight CB like Talib or Sherman kind of got us all excited, but I'm not sure the Patriots are prioritizing that right now. I can't remember a time in the Belichick era where he purposely stocked the CB position in that way. The closest examples I can think of:
Revis/Browner - But Browner, while a starting CB, was more specialized. He wasn't a lockdown guy.
Law/Samuel - But that was more by accident (drafting a CB in the 4th isn't really dedicating major resources to the position), and Samuel didn't really break out until after Law was gone.
Gilmore/Butler - But I feel like that is just overlap, and BB knew that Butler wasn't going to be signed long term. Gilmore was Butler's "replacement" a year early.
Any other duos I missed?
Either way, it seems like BB doesn't put much value into using that many resources for two top flight CB's on the same team.

Don’t need no stinking giants!
IDK.
If the guy is willing to go through the entire CDC decontamination and quarantine process, then he's probably worth it.

We need BBDon’t need no stinking giants!
It doesn't makes sense in this pass happy era unless you already have a ferocious pass rush. Denver did that.
If your defense is crap better to invest in the front 7, refs can't call holding or pass interference against a DE. And our secondary is not crap but it looks that way sometimes because we can't put pressure on the QB.
I’d be interested up to 6.5m or so, which means that we probably win or lose with JJ in the slot and face off twice a year against DRC and the Jets.I like DRC. But what salary does he want?
