Stephon Gilmore to the Packers?
That’s what Davante Adams wants, and he might get his wish.
The Patriots are set to move on from Gilmore before 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday, according to multiple reports. Initial reporting indicated New England planned to release the star cornerback, but a trade should not be ruled out.
Green Bay immediately emerged as a potential landing spot for Gilmore. And Adams, the Packers’ superstar receiver, is doing his best to make it happen.
“Call me,” he wrote in a reply on Gilmore’s farewell post.
Adams might not even have to recruit Gilmore, as the Packers reportedly are the favorites to acquire Gilmore via trade or free agent contract.
