The Cincinnati Bengals have announced the free agent trade of 33-year-old cornerback Stephon Gilmore.
Arguably, Gilmore is the best CB available right now.
Even though he turns 34 in September, he’s still got a lot of football left in him, so Cincinnati would have another reliable cornerback this year.
Although the squad was impressed with Dax Hill and DJ Turner II during minicamp,
Gilmore’s addition would provide much-needed secondary experience.
Gilmore’s career has trended nomadic in the past three years.
After splitting his first nine and a half NFL campaigns between the Bills and Patriots, he spent a half season with the Panthers in 2021 before donning Colts and Cowboys colors for a year each.
His finest seasons were for Buffalo and New England — especially 2016 with the Bills,
when he collected five interceptions to reach his first Pro Bowl,
and his 2019 Defensive Player of the Year season with the Pats in which he had a league-leading six picks and made first-team All-Pro a second straight time.
But he’s played admirably at every stop, a football mercenary capable of delivering poise and composure to a secondary.
