Patriots release Gilmore

That's BB's annual release of a pro bowl player to send a message.

He was unhappy with his contract, on the last year of that contract and he is about to turn 32.

Someone like the Ravens or Chiefs will pay him big money on a 3 year deal, we don't need to spend the money on an aging veteran when we have guys like TA, Marcus Williams, CGJ and what is likely to be a huge contract for Jameis. We need to get through this season, kill the dead cap way more than we need another corner. Even though I do think Gilmore could be an impact player at CB for a year or two and then is a prime candidate to shift to FS where he would likely excel at a high level for another year or two it's just a luxury at a position we don't have a lot of need at the moment.
