Patriots part ways with pro bowl cornerback Stephon Gilmore

After being unable to work out a contract restructure, the New England Patriots have decided to move on from Stephen Gilmore.

The team announced that they have cut the four-time pro bowler before he
was eligible to come off the Physically Unable to Perform List after Week 6.

“It is with mixed emotions that I announce my goodbye to this great fan base,” said Gilmore.

“We enjoyed so much success together and you have been an incredible inspiration for my achievements.”

The 31-year old had spent the past four season with the franchise, posting 185 combined tackles, 52 passes defended, 11 interceptions, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over a span of 56 combined games.
