 What is that smell because it's something funky going on in the NFL right now first the cowboys They getting ready to sit down and have a nice Texas barbecue dinner and they like mm-hmm this thing looks so good But you know what before we bless this fool. You know what let's go ahead and bless Jalen Smith with his release Let's go ahead and cut them because you know what we don't want him to enjoy this wonderful meal with us It's time to move on in a different direction He was a liability. So you know what headed into week five headed into week five Let's cut this player. What we'll take on all the dead money. No problem and we'll release him And that just had me like what the timing of it was just so weird. So then The Patriots the Patriots they were getting ready last night. They had their cream of crab and they were like, oh, man This was so good. Oh, we loved it. Mm-hmm And they had a great night's sleep. They went to bed. They had some sweet dreams and they woke up like oh, man This would be a great day to cut Stefan Gilmore and they did it So now Stefan Gilmore is released He was on the physically unable to perform lists and that list keeps him out Well kept him out the first six weeks at a minimum and now since he's released I believe he wouldn't be on that list anymore since he'd be a free agent So with Stefan Gilmore Once one of the best cornerbacks in the league and of course this offseason and he's still been one of the better cornerbacks in the league But this offseason was rough He was of course dealing with the quad injury So he was hurt and he was of course dealing with the feelings injury because he was hurt that the Patriots did not give him a raise He wanted more money and the Patriots were like You know what we went way out of character when we initially signed you back then because a lot of times I forget that he used to play for the Beals. It seems like that was so long ago Seems like it was forever ago, but anyway, they were like oh Yeah, we went out of all out of all the ordinary for us and we signed you to that big contract and free agency when we brought You over from Buffalo, but We're not gonna pay you big money now. We're not gonna give you a raise now. We just don't think no We're good. No, thanks So now Stefan Gilmore enters free agency and you know You know, they're gonna be plenty of teams interested in Stefan Gilmore, especially when he's healthy, but I mean Just think about it. I think we can all agree I think we we all realize where Stefan Gilmore is most likely gonna be headed to He's probably gonna link up with his boy again Because you know, they got some secondary issues over there and the other the other day in the game against um Who are the Bucks playing the Patriots? That those cornerbacks they were dropping like flies that cornerbacks been dropping like flies So they for Brady probably gonna send him a tape right since Stefan Gilmore that text already What's up big head? Hey, hey, hey, hey Stefan. It's been it's been a minute Steph. It's been a little minute I know what you're thinking and I'm thinking the same thing to Stefan Gilmore. You know what? Let's just cut all the talk. We ain't got to do all the small talk We ain't got to do all the back-and-forth. I know you want to come here, you know, you want to come here? Hey, we just won a Super Bowl last year. We had a nice squad last year, too We got a course. We got me tb. We got my boy a b. We got my boy Mike e Hey, we rolling. We got my boy LG Ligaret anyway, so we we stack we got my boy Rob G of course Like come through we got my boy Chris G. Hey, so Stefan G Slide through man. It only makes sense and he probably told him like look man You guys some fun down here cuz you know Florida Florida just a whole different vibe than up there and new the new England area Florida is a whole nother vibe, you know what we're down here We tossed in Super Bowl trophies around in the water and stuff. We getting drunk after the celebration You want to go relive that again? You want that opportunity? I mean, we don't already won a Super Bowl So you already know what it's like. So but you want to run it back again, Stefan? Come through and you know Stefan Stefan probably sleep right now. He probably still knocked out He put even he right though doesn't even know the news yet But you you got to figure like Stefan Gilmore is probably gonna be headed to Tampa I mean, that's the first and most obvious choice Because again Brady got those recruit recruitment skills. That is one thing when it comes to Tom Brady And Bill Belichick to Their recruitment skills are something serious. They both must have a mean talk game Because of course like Brady with again AB like like and people want to win too And they know wherever Brady goes winning is gonna follow why well, you know, but anyway, wherever he goes Winning is gonna follow And then you see what the Patriots like this dude who Jamie Collins This dude has been a little bit tossed everywhere around the league man He has been everywhere. He has been signed to every team. He has been cut from every team But the Patriots still found a way a come on Jamie come back home, baby. Come on back And it happened and then again with Kyle vanoy. They got rid of him I think he went to the Dolphins and Dolphins like I don't know and where he ended up right back with the Patriots and Of course this offseason. I mean this offseason was a little out of character for them too Because they were spending big money this offseason But with Stefan Gilmore one of the reasons I think they released him I think they're just ready to move on ready to move on But this season they got to see what life was like so far, of course through the first four weeks they got to see what life was like without a Stefan Gilmore and They were like, oh, well, this is what it is. Okay, and this is what it's gonna be So we were gonna move on from you eventually, but you know what? Let's not even hold it up Let's not waste any more time and let's get it done. So now Stefan Gilmore he's a free agent and That's just a shocker man. I just I I did not see that happening But when you really think about it, it's not a surprise just the timing of it though Like if you were to ask me, oh, do you think Stefan Gilmore is gonna be with the Patriots after this season? I don't know. No, not at all Not after this season, but during this season. Oh, yeah, I think he'll be there for sure and Worst case scenario. Okay, once he gets back healthy, maybe they'll trade him But to outright cut him. No Patriots. They won't do that. And boy, I would have been wrong. They're wrong So we'll see where Stefan Gilmore ends up Yeah, my my first bet would be that he heads on down to Tampa to go link up with Tom Brady and them So we'll see what happens. Anyway, team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all and Happy Wednesday
