Beef Jerky Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 @josinaanderson Source confirms that the #Bears "are showing strong interest" in CB Stephon Gilmore. I'm told he wants to sign early. Heh from the Bills to the Bears...
John from Riverside Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 thank you for your years as a bill Stephon.....good luck as a Bear
FireChan Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Another first rounder flushed down the toilet. Fire Whaley!
John from Riverside Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Yes its not like this is happening to other NFL teams.....or that we have not shown a propensity to sign our own players
ndirish1978 Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I'm really going to miss his sparkling personality
Hurricane Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I'm really going to miss his sparkling personality lol..
wppete Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Watch Cleveland dish out a ridiculous amount of money on Gilmore. This guy is just an awful CB.
John from Riverside Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I'm really going to miss his sparkling personality I think there will be times this next year where you will have plenty of "We miss gilmore" Im expecting it
thebandit27 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Watch Cleveland dish out a ridiculous amount of money on Gilmore. This guy is just an awful CB. There's literally no supporting that take
Prickly Pete Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I won't lose any sleep if Gilmore leaves. There is no one on this team that I feel attached to.
ndirish1978 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 I think there will be times this next year where you will have plenty of "We miss gilmore" Im expecting it I don't care how many meaningless games he played well in, he didn't play well enough to get us to the playoffs or not be embarassed by the Jets. I will regularly forget who played for this team until the year in which we are once again a relevant team. I don't have loyalty to anyone on this roster until then.
Ittakestime Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Can someone please tell me why we didn't tag and trade Gilmore? LA Rams are doing this with Trumaine Johnson
ndirish1978 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Can someone please tell me why we didn't tag and trade Gilmore? LA Rams are doing this with Trumaine Johnson I presume the answer you will get is "because our FO is playing Checkers while everyone else plays Chess"
FireChan Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 Yes its not like this is happening to other NFL teams.....or that we have not shown a propensity to sign our own players The only first rounder the Bills have on the roster over the last 10 years is Dareus, Watkins and Shaq Lawson. Go Bills!

YoloinOhio Posted March 8, 2017 Author Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) Can someone please tell me why we didn't tag and trade Gilmore? LA Rams are doing this with Trumaine Johnson tagging him would have taken up like 3/4 of the cap space. No guarantee you can trade him. Rams have much more available cap to take that risk if it doesn't happen. Tag/trade is very difficult to pull off which is why it rarely happens. Player has to essentially agree to sign long term with the teams that both are interested and have the cap to do it. Same question came up with Byrd. There were only a few teams he was open to signing with long term, and that didn't match up with who was willing to trade assets AND pony up a huge contract. I anticipate the Rams may have a partner in the Browns where his former DC is now, and they over 100 mill in cap space. Edited March 8, 2017 by YoloinOhio

I don't subscribe to the theory that if the sum of the parts is lousy than all of the parts must be as well. The Dolphins and Rams were terrible 2 years ago, yet the Giants paid big money to defenders from each team and made their defense markedly better Ina single offseason. It's fine not to get attached, but throwing the baby out with the bath water doesn't make sense
fansince88 Posted March 8, 2017 Posted March 8, 2017 The only first rounder the Bills have on the roster over the last 10 years is Dareus, Watkins and Shaq Lawson. Go Bills! That is how you know you are drafting well? How about they are good enough that other teams want them? X I cant agree with this at all
