Gilmore's 31 & coming off his worst year basically since he entered the league.
The number of teams playing as much pure man as the Patriots is smaller by the year.
I'm not sure the market for him is gonna be the flames people expect it to be. That's not an insignificant gamble

I always felt that the idea of Jaylon Smith was better than the play of Jaylon Smith.
I'm sure his upside is higher in the right defensive system, but I'm not sure it will ever match his athletic tools.

Another way to look at it: The Patriots are 1-3 and probably will not make the playoffs. I think they might be freeing up cap space to reload for next season and giving up on a guy that has been injured.
To say Gillmore is trash is not right either. I doubt Gillmore will regain 2019 defensive player of the year ability. But if Gillmore can get healthy he can help a playoff team.
Its amazing in sports how fast you can go from king of the hill to unwanted.

I dunno, I think the Patriots are pretty damn good. That defense is at least.
It’s how far that rookie can take them.

Gilmore was a stud a few years ago. Injuries and an off 2020 ... Im sure he will have a line of suitors offering him a team friendly 1 year deal.
Cowboys is my guess.
Jaylon Smith ... cowboy fans are pretty much in agreement re him for a few years now. Dumb signing, liability in coverage, slow to read/recognize/react

Now we should cut Collins for the trifecta
IMO, Collins should always have been a Lber.
