With the Patriots opening training camp 10 days from Sunday, the team has one big question to resolve: What will they do about Stephon Gilmore’s contract situation?
The star cornerback is on the final year of his five-year contract with a base salary set at $7 million for the 2021 season. Gilmore turned the heat up on the Patriots skipping mandatory minicamp in June and sharing his thoughts on the top 10 paid defensive backs in the league (which he isn’t on) before publicly commenting on the situation earlier in July.
“I just want what I’m worth, however that plays out,” Gilmore told NFL insider Josina Anderson.
