Two-time All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore plans to visit the Minnesota Vikings on Monday.
Gilmore told NFL reporter Josina Anderson that he is flying to Minneapolis in his bid to gain employment for the 2024 NFL season.
Gilmore, who turns 34 on Sept. 19, recorded 68 tackles, two interceptions and a forced fumble while starting all 17 games last season with the Dallas Cowboys.
A five-time Pro Bowl selection, 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.
