Stephon Gilmore
CB - IND
2022 Outlook
Five-time Pro Bowl CB Stephon Gilmore is signing a two-year deal with Indianapolis.
Fantasy Impact
The 31-year-old cornerback will be entering his 11th year in the league having spent time with Buffalo, New England, and Carolina. In his career, he has collected 427 tackles, 27 interceptions, six forced fumble, and two touchdowns.
According to Tyler Conway of Bleacher Report, Stephon Gilmore is drawing interest from the Chiefs, Eagles, and Bills
Fantasy Impact
The former Defensive Player of the Year has continued to garner interest in this slow veteran free-agent market. Over the past week, the Chiefs, Eagles, and Bills have checked in on Gilmore. Gilmore, 31, split last season with the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers. Despite being limited to eight games because of a quad injury, Gilmore was named a Pro Bowler after recording 16 tackles and two interceptions with the Panthers.
The Kansas City Chiefs have an interest in signing free-agent cornerback Stephon Gilmore.
Fantasy Impact
The Chiefs have money to work with after the Tyreek Hill trade, and they've already started using it by signing Ronald Jones on Saturday. They could start looking to shore up their roster the defensive side of the ball, and the team reportedly have interest in signing former DPOY Stephon Gilmore to patch up their secondary. Fantasy managers should pay attention to how the team decides to spend it's money this offseason.
The San Francisco 49ers and Las Vegas Raiders have reportedly expressed interest in signing the Pro Bowl cornerback.
Fantasy Impact
The 49ers have been reportedly interested in a shutdown corner for a while now, and Gilmore would fill that void. The two-time All-Pro would also be a great fit in Las Vegas, as their secondary was very inconsistent in 2021.
Per the Carolina Panthers, the team has placed CB Stephon Gilmore on the reserve/COVID list.
Fantasy Impact
Given that Gilmore had been dealing with a previous groin injury it likely would have been a stretch for him to play in the regular season finale vs the Bucs but this guarantee that he won't be available. When it comes to Gilmore the thing to watch more so will be where he lands during free agency in 2022 as the 31-year old CB will be an unrestricted free agent.
