26CornerBlitz Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Albert Breer @AlbertBreer Stephon Gilmore's deal is worth about $12.1M over 4 years, with the standard fifth-year option that'll equal the '15 transition tag for CBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kabnt2005 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Probably waited for the picks to get signed around him. IIRC, the only thing the rookie wage scale doesn't decide for you is the guaranteed money? Bills probably wanted to see what guaranteed money was going out to those players picked around Gilmore.

MClem06 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Stephon gets an A for effort in Rookie Mini camp & for quickly signing and an F for enthusiasm. Is it me or does this guy have the personality of a brick wall. Don't get me wrong, if he helps us take the team to a new level then I'm happier than a pig in dookie but as far as getting him to laugh at a joke or even crack a smile seems like a lost cause. I think his nickname should be "All Business" if he pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
