The New England Patriots will release Stephon Gilmore after the two sides couldn't agree on a restructured contract, according to sources.

Gilmore has been named to four Pro Bowls as a cornerback.

"We enjoyed so much success together and you have been an incredible inspiration for my individual achievements," Gilmore wrote on Twitter Wednesday. "... To Mr. Kraft, the coaches, and the organization thank you for providing me with this platform and allowing me to be part of greatness. Most of all I want to thank my teammates who lined up next to me every Sunday with one goal in mind."

The Patriots were roughly $54,000 under the salary cap and now will find themselves with an additional $5.8 million in cap space. Gilmore had a $7 million base salary in 2021 in what was the final season of his contract.
