    One of the last prominent NFL free agents is off the board after cornerback Stephon Gilmore reportedly agreed to sign a one-year deal worth a maximum $10 million with the Minnesota Vikings , ESPN reported Sunday morning.

    Gilmore, 33, spent last season with the Dallas Cowboys , registering two interceptions, 13 passes defended and 68 combined tackles.

    Minnesota recently traded CB and former second-round draft pick Andrew Booth to Dallas for CB Nahshon Wright .

    Gilmore spent the first five seasons of his NFL career with the Buffalo Bills (2012-16) before a four-year run with the New England Patriots (2017-20) and one-year stints with the Carolina Panthers and Indianapolis Colts . The veteran CB reunites with Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, who was a linebackers coach with the Patriots during the first two seasons of Gilmore's stint in New England (2017-18).

    Gilmore, a two-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler, joins a Vikings CB room that includes Byron Murphy and Shaq Griffin . Minnesota was recently dealt a blow, as rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy suffered a season-ending meniscus tear.
