- Cornerback could be reunited with Tom Brady in Florida
- 31-year-old was 2019 defensive player of the year
The New England Patriots have released one of the best defensive players in the NFL, Stephon Gilmore, in a move that is likely to alert several Super Bowl contenders.
ESPN initially reported the news before the 31-year-old confirmed the news in a tweet on Wednesday morning. “We enjoyed so much success together and you have been an incredible inspiration for my individual achievements,” Gilmore wrote. “… To [team owner]Mr Kraft, the coaches, and the organization thank you for providing me with this platform and allowing me to be part of greatness. Most of all I want to thank my teammates who lined up next to me every Sunday with one goal in mind.”
