USAT: Raiders Wire

Since the moment free agency opened, the Raiders have been named as a team with heavy interest in signing free agent Stephon Gilmore. They have even been thought to be the frontrunner to sign him. As of now, the five-time Pro Bowl cornerback is still unsigned. Not by the Raiders, not by anyone. - Despite the Raiders’ rumored heavy interest in the former Panther and Patriots CB, head coach Josh McDaniels said that isn’t the case. - “We talk to every free agent. [GM] Dave [Ziegler] does that. His group does that,” McDaniels said of potential interest in Gilmore. “But there’s been nothing substantial in that regard.” - McDaniels would only say of Gilmore that he has “a lot of respect” for what he’s done in his career, but that ‘it’s got to fit on both ends.” - That would suggest perhaps the Raiders had interest at the start, but that it wasn’t that strong and Gilmore’s side had other ideas. - You’d have to think there are more than a few NFL teams who would like to add Gilmore, but that Gilmore’s side has different ideas of his value and/or fit. - - Gallery - Best images of new Raiders WR Davante Adams - - - - - - view 73 images - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Raiders Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Raiders Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
