Stephon Gilmore would be a good fit for Detroit’s scheme and would bring a high-level addition to a secondary that struggled at times last season. The outlet noted that the Kansas City Chiefs could also be in contention for the 33-year-old.
“Here, we highlight two teams that like to play press-man coverage, made their respective conference championship game, and could use the help at cornerback (especially if L’Jarius Sneed is traded),” PFF noted. “These are simple fits for Gilmore, who is still playing at a high level.”
Gilmore is coming off a season where he made 68 total tackles with two interceptions and 13 passes defended.
Other insiders see Detroit as a good fit for Gilmore. Jared Ramsey of the Detroit Free Press suggested he would be a strong addition to the secondary and would likely welcome the idea of playing with his brother, Lions cornerback Steven Gilmore.
Long been considered one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, even taking home a Defensive Player of the Year in addition to his two All-Pros and five Pro Bowls, and delivered a solid 2023 season for the NFC East-winning Cowboys,” Ramsey wrote. “Though he is in the final years of his career, he still showed he can be a No. 1 corner with championship pedigree.”
