The New England Patriots might be very close to making a seismic move, as cornerback Stephon Gilmore appears to be forcing the team’s hand as he either looks for a new contract or a trade out of New England.
Gilmore hasn’t shown up at New England’s mandatory minicamp, and it seems the four-time Pro Bowler and former Defensive Player of the Year isn’t going to suit up for the Patriots unless he ends up getting a reworked deal.
The Patriots might need to immediately pivot and try to find a replacement at one of their outside cornerback spots.
