Mandatory Credit: Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports Free agent cornerback Stephon Gilmore and the Minnesota Vikings agreed to terms on a one-year contract worth up to $10 million, multiple media outlets reported Sunday morning.
Per ESPN, the deal includes $7 million in guaranteed money.
Gilmore, who visited the Vikings on Monday, turns 34 on Sept. 19.
A two-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowl selection, Gilmore recorded 68 tackles, two interceptions and a forced fumble while starting all 17 games last season with the Dallas Cowboys.
Gilmore has 561 tackles, 31 interceptions, seven forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 165 career games (158 starts) with the Buffalo Bills (2012-16), New England Patriots (2017-20), Carolina Panthers (2021), Indianapolis Colts (2022) and Cowboys (2023).
He was the 2019 Defensive Player of the Year and won Super Bowl LIII with the Patriots.
The Vikings are in need of help in their secondary after Mekhi Blackmon suffered a torn ACL in training camp last month. The Southern California product was viewed as a top contender to serve as the Vikings' third cornerback this year following the death of rookie Khyree Jackson in a July 6 car accident.
