Stephon Gilmore Holdout Not Patriots' Most Pressing Issue, Analyst Says

As the beginning of training camp looms, the New England Patriots have yet to come to terms with cornerback Stephon Gilmore on a new contract to end his holdout.

That's not nearly as big of a deal as figuring out who will play quarterback for the team, according to one NBC Sports analyst.

Warren Sharp, who specializes in analytics for NBC Sports, told Trenni Kusnierek on Early Edition Thursday that even if the Patriots can't come up with a new deal for the 30-year-old Gilmore, he doesn't believe that will ruin what New England is building in 2021.
