its called Burning Bridges

 

Be professional and not a WLB.

Only way Beane is interested is to increase Gilmore’s cap hit on another team, especially if it’s the Chefs.

 

As said, I’m not a fan of his playing style or the stink he’s made about money. The Pats* restructured his deal which gave him a massive upfront amount / signing bonus in exchange for less salary. The very next year Gilmore was whining about how his salary was so low.  The worst kind of ‘what have you done for me lately’ attitude.

Gilmore isn't coming here. He didn't want to be here from the start. The Pegula's would have paid him handsomely but he wanted no part of the Bills. 

The Pegulas would not have paid him handsomely because they were never gonna try to retain him in the first place. McD made that clear to them. We didn’t even bother to tag him with either designation. It was a fait accompli.

I’m fairly certain McCoy has since come out and said it was a absolute sh** show under Rex as well.

No more Gilmore 

please.  
 

he was overrated and IIRC said some bad 💩 when he left. 
 

His ego was also overinflated 

 

He was an Un Happy Gilmore

Ya but that was a completely different team and culture.  This is a high character , legit SB roster w great leadership. 

The goal is to hoist a Lombardi, I'd take him back! This D could be an all time great. 

[strive_for_five_guy]

I’m not really a fan of his, but if the coaching staff thinks he’d help the team and he wants to help the cause, I’ll take him back.

[TBBills]

He would be the best backup #1 we could get till Tre is back... then be the best #2 in the league.

Even if you think that, that would still mean he was runner up to DPOY.  Point is, he is better than you are saying he was.  

Wasn't it just mentioned that he doesn’t like to tackle?

 

that IMO is not a good trait. I want someone All In and not partially engaged.  

 

it’s as [fill in the blank] as Cam Newton not wanting to jump on one of his fumbles.

If the Bills wanted to sign Gilmore they most certainly would have given him every bit of the same deal he got with the Patriots or even more. My point being money was not an issue. Gilmore wanted nothing to do with the Bills and it was obvious during his time here.

[TBBills]

People treating Gilmore like he raped or beat a woman.

[BfloBillsFan]

I'm down.  I thinks its better to have a veteran at CB2 than a rookie to start the season, esp if Tre not close to 100%.  Also, gives the Bills a few more options in round 1 so they wouldn't have to draft a WR

Deion Sanders didnt like to tackle.

[Generic_Bills_Fan]

Depends entirely on the price tag.  He’s just about the best you can do veteran corner wise.  I think about that wild season where Blake bortles led Jacksonville was a Stephen Gilmore ridiculously athletic tipped pass away from going to the superbowl all the time lol

Which makes him a lesser player IMO

That doesn’t mean I am saying he sucks. 
 

he has to Buy In. Buying in is putting in 100 % effort.

Does / did

Tre skip camp? 

Jerry Hughes skip camp? 

Poyer skip camp? 
Hyde skip camp? 

Milano skip camp? 
 

Anyone else skip camp? 

 

True enough, but this version of the Bills isn’t the sh-t show of an organization that had no real plan for how to win and be competitive in those days. It is a good deal different now with the current FO, coaching staff, and players, I would think a player like Gilmore would see this as an opportunity to get another ring and toot his own horn at the same time. Not that I’m gonna hold my breath on the outcome of this rumor…, 😁👍

[BuffaloRebound]

Bradberry probably better option but McBeane gotta be involved with Gimore too  just to make sure you get 1 of the vet CB’s out there

Right. If. But they had ZERO interest in retaining him after McD informed them he wasn’t interested. The Pegulas never even considered paying him handsomely so I’m unclear as to why anyone would assert that they would have. The decision to move on was made months before Gilmore even became a free agent. 
 

l understand your point that Gilmore was moving on and I’m sure that no amount of money could have convinced him to stay, but that’s conjecture and we will never know. What’s not conjecture is that the Bills wouldn’t have kept him even if he agreed to play for league minimum. One could say they moved on before Gilmore did. 

[Jerboski]

I’ll take him in a heartbeat… same with Julio 

super bowl window is now

Isn’t that why the Chiefs are supposedly interested in him?
