The Bills opted not to use the franchise tag on Gilmore, the 10th pick in the 2012 draft, after a failed bid to extend his contract last offseason. He's one of the more sought-after defensive free agents. A college teammate of wide receiver Alshon Jeffery at South Carolina, Gilmore could command close to $13 million per season, a tick above what Janoris Jenkins signed for with the Giants last year, when the Bears were a runner-up for his services.
