If you thought he was average... 😄 People complaining about his tackling, when he played the one year one handed since his hand was in the club cast is hilarious to me! 2

He is super talented but has been a me-first player throughout his career. He will dog it in games if his contract is ending and will sulk and pout if he isn't getting the money he wants. Pass. I want him because he would make the Bills secondary elite. While Gilmore may be me-first, his me-first attitude and what the Bills want are aligned in the same direction, no real conflict of interest. This could be a worthwhile splash move. The Bills passed on the Watt/Ertz moves. This could be it and I would be on board.

This idea that he hated it in Buffalo was nonsense from the start. He did want to leave at the end because we weren’t good and weren’t going to pay him the money. You are seriously telling me that he played hard at the end?
TH3 Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 Patriots are making room to solve their old LB problem ….by cutting Gilmore and signing….an old LB
ndirish1978 Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 If you could go to Tampa or KC or Baltimore, why choose to go back to a place where you had a bad experience? I think Hughes might be the only person still in the building that he would even know. I just don't see it happening.

stosh64 Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 We have the #1 d without Gilmore. Let him go jump on Brady's coat tails AGAIN.

Mike Williams was a bad pick. I say it now and I said it then. In fact, my signature on this board in those days was "Draft McKinney" so no, I do not condone drafting overweight RTs with a serious ankle injury at all, let alone with the #4 pick. Flowers just sucked, and we even traded up to get him but fear not....we also took Whitner at #8 along with Ashton Youboty and Ko Simpson in that draft. Those were our first 4 picks and we actually traded UP to do this. There were 3 DBs in the first 3 rounds. Were you fond of this draft? Edited October 6, 2021 by Bill from NYC

Putting words in each others mouth is the lowest form of argument. i.e., if you disagree with me on this then you must by default agree with the following absurdities. Why anyone would want to have a conversation like that is beyond my comprehension. If I don't agree with you that drafting first round DBs is categorically wrong therefore I must want to re-sign Donte Whitner?!?! What relevance does Whitner have in this conversation? Why bring him up?? A bad pick is a bad pick.
Alphadawg7 Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 Anyone here remotely suggesting Gilmore wouldn't be a good signing is losing credibility as an informed poster. Gilmore is a top 10 corner in this league still without question, and I assure you there are plenty that will list him top 5 still across the league who actually are on the field with this guy. Ive been quite impressed with Levi Wallace thus far (albeit his first true test, well for him and our whole defense) is coming this week, but through 4 games he has played excellent. That being said, I would absolutely welcome Gilmore to the team if Bills had interest and he was willing to come back. So while I don't at this moment feel desperate to sign him, I certainly have absolutely no doubt he makes our team better and increases our SB chances. And lets be real, our dominant D has looked sensational against inferior opponents, but the last time our defense faced a lethal offense it was atrocious (Chiefs playoffs last year). And while our defense seems to be much improved with Star back and the new pass rushers out there, they have yet to be truly tested to have full confidence in our ability to win this weekend against the Chiefs. All that being said, I do doubt he wants to come back to Buffalo based on things said since his departure here, and I am not even sure Beane will have interest given how well our defense has played despite its not really truly been tested against a top offense and QB yet. He will have no shortage of suitors, he is still a top CB who would immediately be one of the best players on the defense for whatever team he signs with. 3 1

Well, I am not doubting his talent. I did say that he was a waste of a top 10 pick and our record reflects this. We were playing with a subpar QB and an OL that sucked. Now we have a solid OL (which is getting better), a GREAT QB, and the best head coach and GM that we ever had (imo). I simply make the case that Gilmore was not what this team needed back then and we are doing fine without him now.

Don Otreply Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 He’s washed up, lost a step, won’t be the same after the quad injury, wrong side of thirty, bad attitude, a me guy, locker room cancer, lack of effort, and last but not least, no wait for it…, not a process guy!!! It would be kinda funny if he signed with the Bills, weirder stuff has happened, 1 1
Rc2catch Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 11 pages of fighting over Gilmore… Not sure why I’m surprised. 1

DCofNC Posted October 6, 2021 Posted October 6, 2021 A lot of people still bitter from him leaving, if you can get him here it INSTANTLY makes the team FAR Better. This would be the move that could put the Bills as the clear SB favorite and people are still worried about the past, nope, sorry, just dumb. If he’s ring chasing and wants to start, Buffalo, KC, Tompa, Arizona are all destinations at the top of the list. Carolina? C’mon, you betting on Darnold to win you a SB? Nah. Baltimore? No thanks. Cleveland? Maybe and they have money. Packers? Do you believe in them? I don’t honestly. Of the Legit contenders the Bills have the most cap room. He would have to go second tier teams to find more cap room. Not only is there a shot, the Bills had better be gearing up to cut somebody stat.

Gilmore went from an average player here, to All-Pro in New England. We'll see how he fares if they decide to start calling him for holding again now that he's out of NE. Gilmore was playing at a pretty high level his last few years here, and why he was highly sought after.
