NFL Rumors: Stephon Gilmore Draws Interest from Chiefs, Eagles and Bills

The Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills are all said to be interested in Gilmore.

The best player left at this position is over the age of 30 and there is interest, according to Jeremy Fowler.

The Kansas City Chiefs have done their homework on him. The Philadelphia Eagles need a starting corner and there is interest in him around the league. There are other wild-card teams. The Buffalo Bills have been looking at some starting defensive backs. Maybe there is a reunion in the works for him. There is nothing cooking right now. He is also willing to take his time if he has to.

Gilmore played for the New England and Carolina teams. Gilmore was limited to eight games because of a quad injury, but he still was named a Pro Bowler. After struggling for much of the 2020 campaign, he received a 77.1 overall grade from Pro Football Focus.

The defensive player of the year is likely looking at a short-term deal on the open market, but he should get a long-term deal in the eight figures. The Chiefs are an interesting fit because they have attempted to shore up shaky spots on their roster after trading Tyreek Hill. The team seems to have little interest in retaining Mathieu.

The Bills made a huge splash on the free-agent market by signing Von Miller to a six-year deal. Gilmore is a possibility if they push all their chips in for a ring in 2022.

The Eagles are the only non-Super Bowl contender on this list, which means they would have to pay the most money to land Gilmore.
