Stephon Gilmore Rumors: Patriots CB Eyeing Darius Slay's Extension in Contract Talks

As New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore looks for a new deal, he's reportedly taking inspiration from a Philadelphia Eagles player.

Gilmore isn't participating in mandatory minicamp this week "to express his displeasure with his contract," per Jeff Howe of The Athletic. He's set to earn up to $7.5 million this season, but Howe said he's looking for a new deal that's comparable to what Darius Slay signed in 2020.

Slay inked a three-year, $50 million extension with the Eagles, then had 59 combined tackles, six pass breakups and an interception through 15 games in 2020.
