Almost impossible to compete in this league now without solid CB play.Cheaping out on Gilmore was a bad move before, now disastrous. Trying to think of the last really porous Patriot secondary.

I don't know but I am not confident Bill is going to pay Jackson this off-season. We may be looking at a complete rebuild of the back end.The Dean Pees era was terrible. CBs 10 yards off the line, could never stop 3rd down. And smurf CBs who were all terrible using the crappy Patriot draft method for CBs which needs to be blown up. Who is the next marquee CB1 we can sign or trade for because no faith they can draft a good one unless they're a 7th rounder or UDFA.

Gilmore is gone, losing Jackson as well would be horrible roster management by Bill.I don't know but I am not confident Bill is going to pay Jackson this off-season. We may be looking at a complete rebuild of the back end.
Above average is a bit harsh, I see him as really good, not elite.JC is above average, not sure if he's a CB1. Real glad this undrafted guy developed. But besides him the secondary has nobody now. SloJuan is going to get exposed.
I don't think it was about the money, but it was about his health. Have you noticed that he still hasn't suited up for the Panthers yet? I think the issue was that he wanted to be paid BEOFRE he proved he was ready to get on the field and the Pats (rightfully so) wanted him to prove he was healthy before they paid him more money. I think the seriousness of his injury was underplayed.Cheaping out on Gilmore was a bad move before, now disastrous. Trying to think of the last really porous Patriot secondary.
Yes, I have always liked him also.I’ve always liked JJ. Tough break for he & the team.

All that being said, I was NOT happy he got traded, and even less happy that it was for a mere 6th round pick NEXT year. I have my doubts that Gilmore will ever be the elite CB he was while he was here, but I think he can be a "good one" for the next year or three. I wish it could have been with the Pats. I will be interested to see if he gets on the playing field next week.

Losing Gilmore and only getting a 6th for him was horrible roster management. I just can't see Bill paying Jackson top of the market. He is going to get huge offers in a league predicated on having a great corner. I hope I am wrong but past history tells me it is unlikely.Gilmore is gone, losing Jackson as well would be horrible roster management by Bill.
Yeah i wouldn’t be surprised if he’s gone, hope they’re able to extend him before the season is over. Dmac is prob playing his last season here, secondary could look a heck of a lot different come next year.Losing Gilmore and only getting a 6th for him was horrible roster management.

He MIGHT be back. Needed the cap spaceHe’ll be back in week 8 for the Panthers...do we really need another 6th round pick?
D-Mac went out with an abdomen issue. I have not hear anything on him. Wonder if it is serious.Yeah i wouldn’t be surprised if he’s gone, hope they’re able to extend him before the season is over.

He was moving around and smiling on the sideline during the game, he didn’t look concerned during that brief moment.D-Mac went out with an abdomen issue. I have not hear anything on him. Wonder if it is serious.
