It was only a matter of time before the Pats released CB Stephon Gilmore. The former Defensive Player of the Year and the team could not agree on a long term contract. They wanted to see his level of play once he came off the PUP list. That's the story the media is going with.
Someone will sign him, but at what price? He wanted a substantial raise from his current pay of $7 million. The team wasn't willing to take a risk on a 31 year old injured player when they need to sign JC Jackson to a new deal.
They only pay so much for anyone. It remains to be seen whether they can do it with Jackson, who at age 25, will command top dollar on the free agent market.
