Even with the remote possibility that he'd want to come back, they wouldn't come to terms.
See below example (back-up G w/ a $2.4M tender) of how competitive the Pats have been in FAcy.
No chance hes back. Seems like that divorce was worse than Butlers
He'd be a starter here playing LG (assuming he beats competition). Pats were obviously interested for Bill to have dinner with him. They made him an offer. He chose CHI. Though in fairness, we don't know what those offers are.and if he paid 2.75m/year for a back up, he'd get roasted for wasting money/cap space on jags
they are speculating. If they have a source, then its from this message board because we are the only ones bringing it up. I'd take him back for sure and still draft some CBsAre they speculating he might return, or are they hearing from sources he might return? The phrasing above reads like speculation, so I’m not really putting any stock into it at this point.
His wife is tweeting about the eagles so I don’t think she wants to come back to NEI would like to see Gilmore come back, but I don’t think it will happen.
Yes
And
I vote for ray Lewis killed a guy, quite possibly two
I thought Agholor's cap hit this year comes in around $10 million if he's cut. Is that incorrect?I just checked OvertheCap.com. They list the Raiders at 7.4M in cap space and KC at 25.7M. However, when reviewing the Raiders Team page, OTC still has Carl Nassib listed on their roster. Nassib was released on 3/16 at a savings of $8M. I also didn't do a deep dive to see if the page included any other signings that the Raiders might have done.
Looking at the Raiders, they only haver 5 draft picks this year. That will help them because the amount of cap space needed won't be much. However, they also only have 1 Contract that they can reduce the cap hit and that is Derek Carr's. Their other top cap hits were all Free Agents.
The Chiefs, on the other hand, can free up money by reaching a long term extension with Orlando Brown, Jr. their franchised player. Kelce is the only player left where they could free up about $3M in cap savings. So they could easily give Gilmore the money he wants.
Pats currently have 10M in cap space. But they have 7 draft picks (including a 1st) and that will eat into that 10M. They also need 7-8M for in season use. However, the Pats have numerous players they could work with on either extensions (Wynn, H. Henry, Godchaux, Agholor, J. Jones) , trades (Agholor, Meyers), cuts (Agholor, Godchaux, J. Jones) or Salary Conversions (Judon, J. Smith, H. Henry, Andrews, Wise, Mills). Any combination of those could free up more than enough money to add Gilmore if he was willing to come back. If Gilmore isn't signed by the draft, I would expect the potential of his re-signing to be much better.
Nope, if I remember right he did when he was down here with the Titans. Plus, he was terrible and overpaid when the Titans signed him. If I can dig up what he said I’ll post it, but yes, he did talk trash about the Pats. he was a total liability with the Titans, not a fan.Butler never talked smack about the pats, to my knowledge. He would express confusion when asked about the SB thing and that's it.
Gilmore has been quite a different story...
Agholor's counts $15M if he stays on the team. He counts $10M if he's cut outright. If he's traded, he only count's $5M.I thought Agholor's cap hit this year comes in around $10 million if he's cut. Is that incorrect?
Bill has had a **** record of draft CB’s. I don’t want us anywhere near that position with a high draft pick.Yes, I want their first pick to address their soft as Charmin front 7 - not a DB.
Me either. However with J Jones coming back, Butler signed and Gilmore, I would take that group every Sunday.Is this a serious question!? Yes for the right price and right situation OBVIOUSLY Patriots and fans would LOVE to have Gilmore back!!! Don’t see it happening!
