Gilmore traded to Carolina


Theory time....

4 weeks into season, the Pats roster is full of holes
Injuries, covid, and sucktitude on the OL have crippled the NE offense
In house solutions are minimal at best
Insufficient cap space necessary to acquire legitimate pieces
Gilmore passes physical
Gilmore cut
Cap space created
Bill goes shopping
 
I don't think Tampa can afford him even if he plays for 7 mil this year, 15 next year and 2 void years on top. Would releasing Howard help? Is Alexander ok in GB? Do they play alot of man? Imagine how good they would look with 2 top 10 CBs. Of course they would still lose in the NFC championship because of Rodgers but still.
Tampa will find a way to get the money I think. All of their guys are 100% bought in and would restructure in a heart beat to get Gilly.
 
I find it hard to believe belichick couldn't get anything for him last season or this season.

Anyway Congrats on Tampa for getting Gilmore.
According to Schefter, they have no salary cap room and would have to restructure/cut players....I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up with KC, GB, Dallas or Rams...it's a matter of which team will pay as has been reported, he is not taking a discount.
 
Chiefs will pick him up unfortunately
Chiefs don't have much cap space. Not sure if they can restructure to free up some space but they're facing issues next year with their top contracts. Anyway I certainly hope not.

If he's good on a pro rated 1 year deal then any team is in play: KC, Packers, Car, Ravens, Bucs, SE. If he truly wants a 2 year 30 mil deal then I don't know man.
 
Well guys, maybe next year.
 
OL, OL, OL
But who's out there?
RT Mitchell Schwartz is very good, but I’m not sure how much he’s looking for. He’s also coming off an injury.
 
Well everything sucks but at least Mac Jones is legit lol
 
Dude, no. He's not coming back. Face reality.
like I said, it’s not at all likely, but it’s possible. I think Bill was trying to negotiate but they were at a stalemate so here is where they ended up. I’m sure Bill expects to lose him but left the light on.

He is taking whatever the market tells him. If he just wants money then he will can go to any number of bottom feeder teams. But I doubt he wants to do that at this stage so IMO he will take less to go to a contender and reuniting with the GOAT is probably tops on his list. You know Brady is on the phone with him now asking about his quad and if he wants to join the champs.
 
Why makes you think that?
We can't afford to lose him, outside of Judon, he's been out best defensive player this year...we have to resign him or else we are really weak at the cb position.
 
I am hoping there is another shoe to drop because I simply don’t understand what Bill is doing….and I don’t consider Collins to be that other shoe.

If Gilmore signs with the Chiefs, the Bucs or Ravens…..1633525575918.gif

If the Bucs can’t afford him how in gods name would the Rams?

They've already restructured 90% of their players.

I'm sure that will make you happy :rolleyes:
