Gilmore figures to instantly enter the starting lineup for Brian Flores in Minnesota.
The Vikings are signing free agent cornerback Stephon Gilmore to a one-year deal worth up to $10 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It includes $7 million guaranteed.
Last season, Gilmore started all 18 games for the Cowboys , racking up over 1,000 snaps. In the regular season, his 74.4 PFF grade ranked 22nd out of the 88 corners who played at least 500 snaps. The year before that, he earned a 79.1 grade with the Colts that ranked 8th out of 82 players. There's always the risk of a drop-off in play at his age, but it clearly hasn't happened yet.
Gilmore spent his first five seasons with the Bills, making the Pro Bowl in 2016. He then signed with the Patriots in 2017 and took his career to another level. He was a first-team All-Pro and Super Bowl champion in the 2018 season. The following year, he won NFL Defensive Player of the Year, joining Charles Woodson as the only cornerbacks to win DPOY since Deion Sanders in 1994.
