Bills FA CB Stephon Gilmore signs 5-year deal w/New England

[AtomicDawg]

Miguel said it all.

 

[JDot]

Holy ****.

That a lot of money. Wonder what is going to happen with Butler now.

 

[slash83]

Better not get rid of Butler for this guy, money should have gone to him.

 

[luuked]

To be honest I can't make sense of that signing unless Butler is on the way out. Gilmore is a completely different player than Ryan so he is no replacement for him. Weird.

 

[Marqui]

Damn I was hoping it was stephon Gilmore

You must hate this signing right?

 

[Nunchucks]

Ugh. Of course they can afford to sign anyone but I'm talking about the long range structure of the team. Can you afford to have 2 of the top 5 or so highest paid corners on the same team AND NOT BE CRIPPLED BY IT OVER THE REST OF YOUR ROSTER

14 million for a starting corner will be the new normal.

 

[Minitron]

Holy **** thats huge! If Butler stays good luck passing on us next year.

 

[sb1]

Wow.

I get the feeling he wore out his welcome in Buffalo especially with fans but maybe being here will help. Upgrade for sure though.

Bye Ryan?

That's assuming butler actually gets extended

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

I don't think it says anything about HT. Different position, and we have $ to spend.

I know we have $$..but do we ever spend RIGHT up to the cap?

 

[Keyser Söze]

As long as we sign hightower I'm ok with it.

 

[Love The Drake]

keyzer you think the trade for Cooks isnt happening now?

 

[AtomicDawg]

Why they traded Collins.

 

[Ring 6]

You must hate this signing right?

Why?

 

[Sfpat]

If im Malcolm Butlers agent i'm not playing a snap without a new contract if they're out paying Gilmore huge money.

Unfortunately, I agree

 

[bormio]

So I guess Cyrus Jones won't be starting next year?

 

[AtomicDawg]

Interesting.

 

[NashuaPats]

I know the Butler situation hasn't been worked out yet, but with the tender, I assume he will be back.

Bulter and Gilmore as our cornerbacks? I'm excited.

 

[Ring 6]

I know we have $$..but do we ever spend RIGHT up to the cap?

Other than leaving a cushion yes.

 

[patsinthesnow]

Can anyone that knows CBs well speak on Bouye vs. Gilmore?

We're paying Gilmore to be a shutdown CB. Bouye was last season. Hopefully Gilmore returns to his 2014-2015 form.
