 Ooh, Patriots, y'all a slick. But you know what? I ain't even mad at it and I respect it because this just goes to show just how much of a business the NFL is. And there are different tactics that get used every single day. Sometimes we catch them, sometimes we don't, but this was a good one. So as you all know, this morning it came out that the Patriots, they were releasing Stefan Gilmore. Now, the release would not be official until 4 p.m. Eastern time. So what that essentially did was that let any teams out there know like, hey, last chance, Stefan Gilmore, we getting rid of him. So if you're gonna give us some form, hey, it needs to be now so we can get this process rolling. We taking all call us today, let us know, hit us up. So the Panthers, who, you know what? There was some tweets that got put out of some different teams because it was said that Stefan Gilmore was seeking a contract that would pay him up to $15 million a year. So there was some tweets that got put out for some different teams that were high in salary cap space. And guess who was somewhere either at the top of the list or very, very close to the top of the list? It was the Carolina Panthers. And it was just like, when I saw that, I was like, wow, they got a lot of money. They could make some moves, but I'm like, no, they just traded for CJ Henderson from the Jaguars. They're not gonna be in the mix for Stefan Gilmore. But Panthers said, oh no, you couldn't be more wrong. And I love how they did that. I love how they just replaced J.C. Horn for the year. And they got CJ Henderson from the Jags, but they would say, you know what? No, let's stay ready so we ain't gotta get ready. And they doubled down and got one of the best cornerbacks in the game, went healthy. So now the hope is that he gets healthy sooner rather than later. And I'm not sure if he's gonna stay on the physically unable to perform this or not. I believe that he would, but I'm not 100% sure. But either way, I just love how this team, yeah, they just lost to the Cowboys or whatnot, but I still love how this team sitting at three and one, sitting at three and one through the first part of the season. And they still decide, you know what? Let's make this team even better. Let's make the team even better. And it just works out because Stefan Gilmore, he's from South Carolina, went to high school in South Carolina, grew up in South Carolina. And now he gets to play right there too. So what a scenario and what a story and what a turnaround from just this morning when it was looking like the Patriots were gonna cut them. It's looking like the Patriots were gonna just release them and not get anything for them. But the Patriots in that Patriot way, they put out one last filler to 31 other teams. Like, hey, this your chance, big though. Hey, this your chance, y'all. Yeah, once Stefan Gilmore, come get him. Cause once he hits the market, he's gonna be hot. Now y'all know, and I said it before, I felt like he was gonna go, I thought the Bucks for sure. I was like, oh yeah, he getting ready to go to Tom Brady and him. Yeah, he going, he the going to Tampa Bay. He definitely going to Tampa Bay. And now he will see Tampa Bay. He'll go to Tampa Bay, but it'll only be to play them on the Panthers schedule twice a year. Now this, I haven't seen the details of what they traded to acquire Stefan Gilmore yet. But this right now, cause he's on the last year of his deal. Patriots don't owe him any more money. They are done with Stefan Gilmore. So this could be sort of his audition for the Panthers. And you got to feel like they're gonna resign them to a contract extension. I mean, it's not official yet, but you got to figure, if they trade them for him, especially at this point in the season, yeah, more than likely they're probably gonna sign to a contract extension. But again, he gotta show up and show out first in order for them to do that. But this thing worked out for him. He goes from the Bills to where he becomes excellent corner, goes to the Patriots and continues that. I think he won a Super Bowl in his first year with the Patriots. So he's had a lot of success with that team, obviously. And then toward the end of his career, he goes to a team that's currently sitting at three and one and he gets to go play back home. So couldn't ask for a better career, like really. So shout out to Stefan Gilmore, shout out to the Panthers for being super aggressive and shout out to the Patriots for doing some smart, smart business. So just like Stefan Gilmore once said to Buffalo, just like Stefan Gilmore is currently saying to all the New England fans, I'm out.
