Before Stephon Gilmore’s trade to the Dallas Cowboys, the Patriots were interested in a reunion with their former star cornerback.
According to The Athletic’s Jeff Howe, the Cowboys and Patriots “showed the most interest in acquiring Gilmore in a trade.” Dallas eventually landed Gilmore from the Colts in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft.
During his time in New England, Gilmore added career-defining accomplishments to his resume, including a Defensive Player of the Year award and Super Bowl championship. He is a five-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time AP All-Pro.
