FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots are releasing four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Stephon Gilmore, with a source telling ESPN's Adam Schefter that the sides could not agree to terms on a restructured contract.
Gilmore said goodbye to Patriots fans in a tweeted statement Wednesday.
"We enjoyed so much success together and you have been an incredible inspiration for my individual achievements," Gilmore wrote. "... To Mr. [Robert] Kraft, the coaches, and the organization thank you for providing me with this platform and allowing me to be part of greatness. Most of all I want to thank my teammates who lined up next to me every Sunday with one goal in mind.
