The final Countdown - 2026 training camp

The majority of his money is paid this season - 3.7 mil plus roster bonus. He already got his signing bonus and his 2026 salary is guaranteed - this season. The Pats evidently have plans for Gilliam and not just Special Teams.

If things dont pan out with him he walks with over 4 mil in his pocket.
He must be mostly ST's.. the few Blocks I saw from him wasn't earth shattering.
 
He was around 6'1".
SB46 and VW, Bianca and I believe Ty Warren walked right by me at the team hotel in Indy. They were looking for chow. I almost asked Bianca if it would be Ok with your body guards if I got your autograph.

Last season, I saw a need for a power RB his size.

Maybe he gets more involved in the offense.

A Guy who has 8 career Rushes in Seven years?? Color me scared if he ever touches the Football.

Surely the Patriots left an out in the contract to where Gilliam must be on the team to secure the 2027 guaranteed salary. The signing bonus is pledged and his 2026 salary too if on the roster.


As for the structure of the deal itself, it effectively guarantees Gilliam a spot on the roster in 2026 and also makes for a favorable outlook in 2027. His guarantees in both of those seasons, after all, are substantial and include the two years’ base salaries as well as his prorated $2.4 million signing bonus. That would not prevent the team from moving on, especially post-June 1, 2027, but it suggests that he is in the team’s plans for at least two seasons.

for 2027, they did not
his guarantee covers this;
2026 base -$1.3m
2027 base-$2.3m
signing bonus-$2.4m
total guarantee-$6m
2028 is their out, otherwise he is covered for 2026 and 2027 with his guarantee
 
it's funny watching a player shrink 3 inches to fit an agenda, and the poster completely ignoring the hypocrisy!
2 inches isn’t 3 inches… stop with the hypocrisy.
 
I'm intrigued to see Lan Larison too: him and Lampe were both shut down last year.
Both were injured. Larison has some talent but unlike last offseason he has more talented competition around him.
 
Wilfork was a strong freakish athlete, he was a 5’11” 345 pound NT who could slam dunk a basketball and had great athleticism for his size.

Shaw was big, he was also a poor athlete and not strong. If you want to be a big immovable object successfully you have to at least be stupid strong like (35 bench reps) Khyiris Tonga.
5’11” or 6’1” isn’t a significant difference when you are talking about the leg power to jump 345# high enough to dunk. Thats a lot of drive.

I wouldn’t want to be blocking the lane and taking his charge, for sure.

Vince was and still is 6’2” and 3” is significant.

Vince measured 6’1” at the combine and Miami pro day. This is not a debate:


And I know a lot of guys over six feet who can’t dunk… and they didn’t weigh 330 or more pounds.
 
RAS score comp
Shaw-3.19
Vince-6.88
Tonga-7.22
Shaw struggled in school, both UNC and Tex
He was a flier that was an extreme long shot
perhaps he asked for his release?
Why would he ask to be released?
