Gilmore Holding Out?

[YankeeRebel]

But it's the Panthers for a 6th.

And Jamie Collins is back!

I would take this.

Is that verified? I'm not seeing that anywhere but it might simply be because the Gilmore news is a bigger deal.

WEEI has it. Van Noy is stoked.

According to ESPN's Field Yates, the Patriots are working on a deal to bring back linebacker Jamie Collins for his third stint with the team. Collins was released last week by the Lions after signing with them in 2020, he had 101 combined tackles for Detroit last season and had 10 through two games this year.
Collins was drafted by the Patriots in the second round of 2013's NFL Draft and won a Super Bowl with the team a year later. He was traded to the Cleveland Browns midway through the 2016 season and spent two more seasons there. Collins returned to New England as a free agent in 2019, setting career highs in sacks (seven) and interceptions (three).
Still an athletic and versatile linebacker, Collins should easily slide back into the Patriots' defense, where his ability to play multiple spots should provide a boost, especially with Ja'Whaun Bentley missing the Tampa Bay game. New England now has the three key linebackers who led their defense to a historic start in 2019 with Collins, Kyle Van Noy and Dont'a Hightower. None played for the team in 2020.

Bill needed a couple million to sign Collins and got rid a $7M Weight around his neck.

I wonder if Carolina picked up the cap hit? Right now it would be $7M salary and $5M from the bonus last year. So they would eat $12M and the Pats would get back the whole $12M of the original $16M cap hit.

This will allow BB to go Thanksgiving shopping early for an October Black Friday OL.

They say things always happen in 3's

1. Gilmore gone
2. Collins resigned
3. Harry traded for an OL????

I read the Pats are getting 5.7 million back.

I'm going out on a limb and saying not only does Harry not get traded but he quickly becomes Mac's favorite receiver.

Correct because it's prorated for the 6 weeks spent on PUP

I hope there's a net under that limb...

Not sure I'd want an Olineman that was of equal value to Harry. We have enough duds. Maybe if he's part of a package deal?

Mac is getting everyone involved. I'm still thinking Meyers is his binkie and go to. He sure used Bourne nicely last week.

Do we know what round the pick is?

6th

6th, they might as well have traded for a 2023 UDF

More importantly than the 6th rounder, he'll now factor into the comp pic scenario. So one would think at least a 4th. Unless he can't go on that bum quad?

But now he becomes part of the comp pic scenario. If he was just released they would've gotten squat.

Good move by BB. Trade him to a team that already has a stout D. Not in the conference.

Thanks for stepping up Panthers.

Unfortunately, he'll become a free agent (as expected by Carolina)

If I'm not mistaken the comp criteria should be based off of his performance from this year? The entire comp pick smoke and mirrors is a mess anyway.
