Veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore found a home Sunday with the Minnesota Vikings, a team that has been scouring the free agent and trade markets this summer to fortify a position that has been decimated by injury and tragedy. Gilmore and the Vikings have agreed to a one-year contract worth up to $10 million with $7 million guaranteed, his agent, Jason Chayut of Sportstars Inc., told ESPN's Adam Schefter. A two-time first-team All-Pro, Gilmore is the fifth -- and by far most significant -- cornerback acquisition the Vikings have made this summer. He will reunite with Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, who was on the New England Patriots' coaching staff for two of Gilmore's seasons with that team. Flores was the Patriots' defensive playcaller in 2018 when Gilmore received his first All-Pro nod. Gilmore, who turns 34 next month, had been unsigned since finishing a strong 2023 season with the Dallas Cowboys.
