Vikings Sign Gilmore and Corral Amid Injuries

The Minnesota Vikings have signed veteran cornerback Stephon Gilmore to a one-year, $10 million contract, with $7 million guaranteed, to bolster their injury-ridden cornerback unit. Gilmore, a five-time Pro Bowler and former NFL Defensive Player of the Year, reunites with defensive coordinator Brian Flores, under whom he achieved his first All-Pro season. The Vikings have faced significant injuries this offseason, including the loss of rookie cornerback Mekhi Blackmon and the season-ending injury of first-round pick quarterback J.J. McCarthy. In response, they also signed quarterback Matt Corral, who has had a tumultuous career but recently found success in the UFL. These moves aim to stabilize the team as they prepare for the upcoming season.
