Vikings agree to terms with veteran CB Stephon Gilmore on a new deal

After a long wait, veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore has a new place to call home. The former All-Pro CB has remained patient with his free agency process, with him being linked to several teams throughout the offseason.

However, he took a recent visit to meet with the Minnesota Vikings and it looks like things went better than expected. That's because breaking news has arrived that Gilmore has made his decision - he'll be playing in the NFC North this campaign.

Gilmore has landed $10 million from Minnesota, with $7 million guaranteed. It's a nice payday late in his career for the defensive back. Now, Gilmore will head to his new team and look to get himself in shape for Week 1 - a dance with the NY Giants awaits.
