It is very rare for the New England Patriots to spend a lot of money in free agency, but that is exactly what they did with Stephon Gilmore.
Gilmore has been a very good cornerback for the Buffalo Bills in recent years, but the five-year, $65 million deal might have been a bit pricey. Last season, Gilmore was ranked as the 61st cornerback in the NFL according to Pro Football Focus. The grade of a 73.2 wasn’t all that impressive, and it was down from his previous two seasons.
Even though he had a down season in 2016 with the Bills, Gilmore is a true No.
