    Bills pick up Gilmore's 5th year option



    PHOENIX -- The Buffalo Bills will pick up the $11.082 million fifth-year option on cornerback Stephon Gilmore this spring, general manager Doug Whaley confirmed at the NFL owners meetings on Tuesday.
    I'm glad we've taken care of that at least.

    $136 million already allocated to our 2016 cap...

    Gilmore's receptions and yards allowed last season were similar to those of Revis and Davis. Rex called him "elite" and Henderson said he "shuts down half of the field".

    I call him Mr. Dropsy.

      Good. Hopefully he continues to improve and they don't wait until the last minute to re-sign him long-term.

        I think I saw an article that inferred Rexy said Revis and Cromartie would be back-ups in Buffalo...I'll see if I can find it.

              An expensive option but it had to be picked up.

                I read that he was joking that Revis and Cromartie would have been back ups on the Jets last year in response to a question about the Jets spending on the secondary.

                      I read the Buffalo Rumblings article about next year's projected cap and I just don't see how we will be able to compete with the other offers he will get. It's going to take some real cap magic to keep him here.

                        I think the 2016 number comes down if you factor in voiding the final two years of the Harvin contract.

                          He definitely meant the Jets but the article erroneously attributed it to the Bills.

                            Most of us didn't think we could get Hughes' re-signed because of the big money out there as an UFA but somehow Whaley got it done. Maybe if we pull a Suh and give Dareus most of his BIG money in the 2nd of the deal we can do it.

                              well the difference is that we had a ton of cap space this year. We won't next year.
