Ian Rapoport says it’s possible Stephon Gilmore trade rumors ‘are kind of old’

Trading Stephon Gilmore in the middle of a 2-4 season would likely indicate one thing for the New England Patriots — a future-orientated approach.

Rumors have been floating recently that Gilmore will potentially get sent out to a different team before the trade deadline on Nov. 3. He’s the reigning Defensive Player of the Year and is coming off back-to-back First-Team All-Pro nods and Pro Bowl selections. Gilmore is the real deal and he’s what keeps the Patriots’ secondary at an elite level consistently.

On Wednesday morning, Bill Belichick told reporters that he hasn’t heard anything about these trade rumors.
