The Minnesota Vikings officially signed five-time Pro Bowl cornerback Stephon Gilmore on Monday amid a flurry of moves.
The Vikings did not release terms, but multiple reports on Sunday said the deal was worth $10 million, including $7 million guaranteed.
The Vikings also announced the signing of 2022 undrafted wide receiver Justin Hall.
In corresponding moves, the team waived punter Seth Vernon and receiver Ty James.
Gilmore, who visited the Vikings last week, turns 34 on Sept. 19. The two-time All-Pro 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).
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.
Hall went to training camp with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022 but was cut during roster reductions. He played for the UFL’s Houston Roughnecks in 2024 and the USFL’s Houston Gamblers in 2023.
