Patriots' financial commitment to Stephon Gilmore is biggest surprise of free agency in AFC East

Which free-agent move in the division surprised you the most? ESPN's AFC East reporters make their picks:

Rich Cimini, New York Jets reporter: To me, the Patriots’ contract for cornerback Stephon Gilmore was a stunner. It’s not The Patriot Way (cough, cough) to pay a top-of-the-market price for a free agent, but they doled out a five-year, $65 million deal for Gilmore, including $31 million in the first two years. He’s getting more than Tom Brady, which doesn’t seem right. I realize Bill Belichick is a genius and never makes any mistakes, but the Gilmore deal seems excessive for a player who, quite frankly, wasn’t even a top-10 corner last season.
