The patriots just gave Gilmore more money this year because of the Ramsey deal. A bunch of it comes from bonuses and incentives. Maybe the Patriots don't want to pay them. He can get 15 million in base salary and another 7 million in incentives. That is a lot of money to drop. The Patriots have a lot of cap space so this would just be about the $$$. Getting rid of him would still create a ton of dead money though. They better be sure that Gilmore is done.
I doubt he goes anywhere.

You can't separate the two.
He's not the player he used to be. Watch the Patriots, their defense isn't what it was largely because Gilmore and McCourty are finally getting old.
He's lost a stop and that, combined with the contract, make him undesirable for anybody but the most desperate teams.
