Stephon Gilmore Potential Landing Spots in NFL Free Agency
1. Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys have three cornerbacks on the roster currently set to hit free-agency and a potential return to Dallas could be in-store for Gilmore. Gilmore spent the 2023 season with the Cowboys. At 34-years of age, Gilmore played in 15 of 16 games a year ago, finishing with a 63.9 coverage grade, per Pro Football Focus.
2. Atlanta Falcons
The Falcons, like the Cowboys, will need to throw resources this offseason towards the cornerback position. AJ Terrell enters his sixth season with the team and is their top-corner for the future. Though adding a veteran cover corner like Gilmore is a potential need.
3. Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals appear hopeful that they have dedicated resources to young cornerbacks like Max Melton and Elijah Jones. Perhaps they now look to add a veteran prescence to the room.
