I just read some breaking news from NFL TR That the Panthers just traded for Gilmore. They sent the Pats a 2023 sixth-round pick. I thought he was released! They may have done a last minute deal before he was released. IDK.
Correct, the panthers have the most cap next summer and didn't want to lose him to green bay or somewhere else. Pats also got LAST MINUTE compensation for a guy in another conference
