So, what’s the trade value for a reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year?
Not that much, apparently.
In mid-September, multiple reports indicated the New England Patriots attempted to trade star cornerback Stephon Gilmore during last offseason. And, as the Nov. 3 deadline fast-approaches, speculation of a potential blockbuster trade involving Gilmore has picked back up.
However, according to Sports Illustrated reporter Albert Breer, Patriots fans shouldn’t expect the Patriots to net a massive return if they in fact move the 30-year-old Gilmore, who hasn’t been quite as good this season.
“The question then becomes what you’re willing to take for him,” Breer, laying out a scenario in which the Patriots realize they want to move Gilmore, said Sunday on NBC Sports Boston.
