Former Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots defensive back Stephon Gilmore announced he would retire as a member of the Patriots on Friday. This was reported by ESPN’s Mike Reiss on Thursday afternoon.
Gilmore was thought to be a depth addition for the secondary when the Patriots signed him via free agency in March 2017. Instead, he became one of the defining players of that era, and was a major part of the Patriots’ secondary during his time with the team.
Now, he will look to end his career with the Patriots and put an end to a remarkable career. Reiss had additional details.
