Patriots Player Departure Gilmore traded to Carolina

[slash83]

Didn’t GBs Alexander get hurt their star corner? Makes sense if so SG to GB.

But for what?

 

[SHOWTIME15]

Wouldn't mind seeing Gilmore go to GB. We're not winning the SB anyway. May as well send him to a non-Tampa Bay NFC team.

If he doesn’t want to win a SB, GB is the perfect fit

 

[Bill Lee]

I understand the move. I don't like it, but I understand it. Meh. Now I'm sitting at my desk all sad (but I'll get over it).

Why sad? We gave the guy a top-of-market contract, he's not honoring it. He's on IR, but gonna play for some other team next week? Please. Let it go.

 

[Uptown]

Eh, to be fair he has one already. Probably just wants to get paid.

I know the trendy thing is to s**t on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, but they were in a close game late against the team that eventually dominated the Super Bowl last year, and are 3-1 so far this year. They're very much in the conversation as contenders.

Yeah, he has a significant shoulder injury. The timing is too perfect. Trade him to GB who's desperate for CB help.

 

[Ross12]

I was with you at first but I'm gonna have to jump ship now.

It's all good. As I've maintained throughout, it's unlikely. Just wanted to throw the concept out there.

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Strongly disagree with this.

Why spend 350M on free agents, 164M guaranteed, and then try to save a bit on your star CB1.

At this point the 1-3 rebuilding Pats should now think about trading other old guys for picks and give young guys playing time. Hightower and McCourty.

Rodgers will choke again like he choked last year.

He already has a SB...

Send Gilmore to Tampa.

Old guys have no value

Gilmore started following Licht and Arians

 

[Steve102]

I certainly hope so. Otherwise, not trading him in 2020 when he still had some value looks like a pretty big error.

That's the part I don't get. Gave him away. Now there's no comp pick, either.

TB is also desperate for corner help, would make sense.

 

[Kontradiction]

I doubt they would have gotten value that would have moved any needles........but hey, don't try to distract from the topic or anything

They would have at least gotten something for him last year since we weren’t competing for a title anyway. But we needed those 7 wins, I guess.

Not so fast. We have until 4pm.. I actually would be surprised if a trade doesn't get executed by then. If it does, then we still get a comp pick.

No reason why a trade couldn't happen. Gilmore's camp made a big mistake letting it leak out right now that he wants to make $15m on a one year rental if he gets released.

 

[upstater1]

I would seriously take the money Gilmore is asking for and give it to JC Jackson and Chris Godwin.

M. Lattimore of the Saints will be the top CB on the market but I would not commit to him.

More likely to draft CBs next year Derek Stingley, or Booth, Gardner and McDuffie.

This is confirmed. If he hits the FA market, then it's likely Tampa. Should be noted he's not following the Buccaneers on IG...yet
