Veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore and the Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a one-year contract worth up to $10 million with $7 million guaranteed (per ESPN’s Adam Schefter).

Gilmore, a two-time first-team All-Pro, is the fifth cornerback acquisition the Vikings have made this summer. Minnesota has been working to mend the cornerback, signing veterans Byron Murphy, Shaq Griffin and Fabian Moreau before trading for Nahshon Wright ( a teammate of Gilmore’s in Dallas last season).

Gilmore, 33, will be playing on his fourth consecutive one-year deal, most recently with the Dallas Cowboys, after beginning his career with the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots. Last season, he registered 68 tackles, one forced fumble, two interceptions and 13 pass deflections without missing a game. The former No. 10 overall selection has 31 career interceptions (per CBS Sports.)

The Minnesota Vikings open their regular seson on the road against the New York Giants on Sept. 8 at MetLife Stadium.
