To Tampa he goes

So THAT'S what he was talking to Brady in the locker room for 23 minutes about.

 

[203Pat]

Crazy. Figured they have been able to get at least a rid round pick.

 

[PowerRunRevival]

He really didn’t have any trade value? Releasing him and getting nothing seems like an awful move.

 

[PScottman]

Now in seriousness, if they turn around and offer a long term deal to Jackson - is that a good trade off and use of cap space? Given the way the secondary has played thus far...worth discussion.

Here it is:

Getting rid of Gilmore with the play of the three CBs is the right move longterm.

Getting nothing for Gilmore is a disaster. From a potential first round pick after 2019 to getting released.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

WTF????

Are you seriously telling me, you couldn't trade him???

Plus they would have to release him with an injury settlement.

 

[Le Numéro Douze]

That's... stupid.

I said it before and Ill.say it again should of traded home the following year of him winning defensive MVP.
Would of gotten a first at worst a second now we get nothing but pain.

 

[RobertWeathers]

In hindsight, trading him before the 2020 season would have been the right move.

With that said I'm sure there were inquiries and the return on the trade was not to BB's liking.

Getting injured last year really hurt his trade value. Over 30yo CBs with soft tissue injuries is not good.

Not having been in training camp hurt his trade value.

Not seeing him play in 2021 hurt his trade value.

His contract demands hurt his trade value.

It is what it is.

Lolwut

Horrible asset management. But this is par for the course.

 

[festy1986]

This is honestly pathetic. Gilmore is no saint here but how we botched it so badly we couldn't even get compensation is enraging.

They should of traded him last October.

 

[borg]

No shortage of Monday thru Saturday drama with this team

 

[Froob]

I wanted to deal him, but if it's not possible, I'm all for it. Our shot at the Lombardi is shot and he isn't coming back next year. Getting rid of him to save a significant cap savings towards next year is great for us. We made a big mistake hanging onto Thuney last year, glad we won't blow like 8-10M for possibly 11 games of Gilmore. That savings could be Jackson's next deal. Plus our secondary is very good as is.

Thanks for everything Gilly, huge part of a championship and arguably was the game's MVP.

 

[PatsFanInVa]

wow. I mean, do we save a bunch against cap or something? Do we think he's damaged? Did Brady talk with Belichick about this and does BB get to coach in Tampa next year b/c Arians is retiring? Does asking questions like these make me sound like the outro of a "Soap" episode? Tune in next week...
