Gilmore is one of a long line of maligned players that did not deserve hate from fans. One of the great CB in the league and some fans never appreciated his talent. 

Fans probably never liked him because he has resting bi#ch face...😉

 

He just always comes off like he’s constantly miserable...

Beane was absolutely right to let him walk at that time.   Gilmore didn’t want to be here which is not what the team was looking for at the time, he was going to get paid elite dollars which the Bills at the time didn’t want to spend because they were not contending and they wanted a fresh start with players who would have full buy in.

 

Now that 5 years have gone by, the culture is secure with the team, and now Gilmore may have a different view of the team, not to mention he probably will be a lot cheaper and can possibly be had on a short-term contract, the timing and situation is different and could be had.

This team could use some more eyebrows. So why not.

Gilmore left in free agency before Beane was even hired as GM. That was Doug Whaley and McDermott.

I found footage of Gilmore returning to the Bills.

One of the reasons McDermott let him leave in the first place is the schematic fit. I know Gilmore is older now, but he was a man cover corner, not much of a zone guy. They could have given him a franchise tag and they didn’t. I don’t think they wanted him. 

[Dablitzkrieg]

You bozos seriously hold grudges against him?  You want to win or no?

I think he’s more of a fit at CB2 in this scheme. McDermott does play some man.

My point is Gilmore is a good player… despite how Bills fans feel about him because he “quit” or “went to play for the Patriots.” Give me a break. 

Not trying to bust your balls but you said it, he's a good player. I can get behind that. 

 

If they sign him then great,  but I don't think he was as "great" as he thought he was is my point.

 

He played on a ***** team at the time for sure but when you talk about "prime time games" as your reason for trying, he's just looking for money IMHO.

You must be mistaken, Scott. I’ve never been wrong in my life. Not once.

What a crazy coincidence, neither have I,

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

Apparently he still plays football too. Who knew?  🤷‍♂️

 

I don’t think we can afford him, but he makes the team better, so I’m in. I didn’t like some of his actions while he was here, but I want the Bills to win a Super Bowl. I can get over it.

McD had a chance to resign Gilmore in 2017 off-season and opted not to mainly because he wasn't a fit for the zone scheme. 5 years later I doubt that assessment has changed. Given how the Bills operate mostly off the radar I don't believe any rumors until after the fact (when things leak easier). If something is leaking from the Bills it 90% of the time is empty noise.

per Spotrac for the top 51 the Bills have 

$3,698,532

 

and they need how much for the rookie pool?

Beane didn’t let him walk, McD did.

Taron Johnson changed his number from 24 to 7.  Gilmore was 24 while in Buffalo.   Gilmore to Buffalo confirmed

Certainly don't miss the guy getting burnt to a crisp by a receiver, then turning around with his hands up as though to blame someone else!

 

He got burned?  He must suck!  Tre White got lit up his rookie year against AJ Green, so he must suck too.

C'mon man, you can do better than this. Of course every CB gets beat from time to time. It's the nature of the position. Where did I imply that this wasn't the case?

 

What an asinine post

I think around 3m+/- .5m?

I want to win a super bowl….not many other corners would have the same kind of impact Gilmore would.  He’s not what he was a few years ago, but he’s still the best option available.  Sign me up

The problem is that he is going to cost 5-8M a year.  The Bills don't have that kind of cap space anymore without further restructuring.
