It’s not often a four-time Pro Bowler and former Defensive Player of the Year becomes available in Week 5, but here we are. The New England Patriots are releasing cornerback Stephon Gilmore, unquestionably the most shocking move of the season thus far.
This stems from Gilmore’s contract dispute with the team, seeking a raise in the final year of his deal. The Patriots didn’t budge and after trying to trade Gilmore, they’re outright cutting the star cornerback.
The Rams are known as a team that will go all-in to win now, and there won’t be a better opportunity to prove that than by signing Gilmore. It’s easier said than done, of course. There will be a ton of suitors for Gilmore and the Rams aren’t exactly flush with cap space.
