2) Stephon Gilmore  

Gilmore has been solid for the Bills since they drafted back him back in 2012. So much so, that’s he’s starting to earn a reputation around the league and now feels he’s one of football’s elite cornerbacks.

There were reports earlier this summer that the 2012 10th overall draft pick might hold out in hopes of earning a new contract, but that never came to fruition. With another strong season, it will be interesting to see how the Bills handle his situation.

After extending Taylor, Cordy Glenn and Richie Incognito this off-season, Gilmore now becomes the Bills top priority to sign to a new contract. However, there are doubts the team can come up with a number that will please the soon-to-be 26-year-old.
