Damn we overpaid for Roby…..


Meh, Gilmore is 31 and on the last year of his contract. He's also unhappy with his current contract and wanted an extension (main reason the patriots were getting rid of him). He's either a less than 1 year rental or you're going to have to extend him for substantial money.

Roby is 29 and under contract through next season at a palatable 10 million cap hit.

Gilmore was also going to be released.

Gilmore was also just recently the Def player of the year and an all pro. Roby has no where near the resume of him.

Just saying a third rounder is very valuable. That’s a good value round to get players. A 6th is almost a throwaway pick. If he’s healthy and returns to form, no one in their right mind would take Roby over Gilmore.

I like Roby, but would have preferred to get Henderson with our third. He is on a rookie contract for years and will not be making anything but still has great potential.
