The Buffalo Bills were interested in bringing back cornerback Stephon Gillmore, USA Today's Josina Anderson reported Friday after Gilmore agreed to a two-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts.
Philadelphia made "a hard play," according to the report, and the Rams and Raiders also were interested.
Gilmore's deal is reported to be worth $23 million with $14 million guaranteed.
Gilmore was drafted No. 10 overall by the Bills in 2012 out of South Carolina and was with the team through the 2016 season before signing as a free agent with the New England Patriots. A five-time All-Pro, Gilmore was traded to the Carolina Panthers last October for a 2023 third-round pick.
Gilmore, 31, who was injured at the time of the trade, played the final eight games of the season for Carolina, with three starts.
