Free-agent cornerback Stephon Gilmore remains unsigned heading toward training camp. Yet, he doesn't seem to mind. "Being patient right now," said the multi-time Pro Bowler during a recent interview. "I feel good. Year 13, been playing a long time. So, I'm just being patient and waiting for the right opportunity." The 2012 No. 10 overall pick appeared in 17 games for Dallas last season. He totaled 68 tackles (54 solo), two interceptions, and 13 passes defensed. In April, Gilmore was rumored to be nearing an agreement with the Panthers, the team he played for in 2021-22. However, that never happened. Nonetheless, there's a good chance he'll find work sometime soon. But for now, he'll remain on the open market until he finds a contract to his liking.
Free agent cornerback Stephon Gilmore still wants to play football but is waiting for the right opportunity, he told NFL insider Josina Anderson. "I know the value I still bring," Gilmore said. "If you watch the tape, I feel like I played well the last two years, and literally almost played every snap last year." Indeed, Gilmore was impactful in 2023. He started all 17 games for the Cowboys, registering two interceptions, 13 passes defended, 68 tackles, and one forced fumble. He's still a starting-caliber defender who could justify holding out for a specific opportunity, perhaps with a contender.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Stephon Gilmore (shoulder) underwent surgery shortly after the season ended and will have a four- to six-month recovery period. Gilmore should be fine for training camp this summer, but he's also eligible for free agency this March. In his 12th NFL season in 2023, and first with the Cowboys, Gilmore had a career-high 68 tackles (54 solo), two interceptions, 13 passes defensed and one forced fumble in 17 regular season starts. Despite being 33 years old, he has proven he's still one of the better cornerbacks in the league. The Cowboys should have plenty of interest in re-signing Gilmore as long as his recovery from shoulder surgery goes well this offseason.
Dallas Cowboys defensive back Stephon Gilmore (shoulder) will suit up for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday after being removed from Friday's final injury report. Gilmore sat out of Wednesday's walkthrough but was limited on both Thursday and Friday. His presence will be an asset to a secondary that will be tasked with slowing down quarterback Jordan Love, who has been playing well at the end of his first full year as a starter. Love could also have all of his receivers available to him if Christian Watson (hamstring) returns for the first time since Week 13.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Stephon Gilmore (shoulder) was the only player on the team's 53-man roster that didn't take part in practice on Wednesday due to injury. Even though Gilmore isn't expected to practice all week after injuring his shoulder in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Washington Commanders, head coach Mike McCarthy expects him to play in Sunday's wild-card playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. The 33-year-old could still enter Sunday's game with a questionable tag and could be less effective if he does actually suit up. The five-time Pro Bowler is a huge part of Dallas' strong defense, so his status is worth watching this weekend. In 17 starts in his first year for the Cowboys, Gilmore had a career-high 68 tackles (54 solo), two interceptions, 13 passes defensed and a forced fumble.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Stephon Gilmore (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Commanders. The veteran exited for the blue medical tent while holding his right arm. However, after a trip to the locker room, it was reported Gilmore is dealing with a shoulder injury. The 33-year-old is still productive despite spending over a decade in the National Football League, so the Cowboys will need him on the field come the postseason.
Dallas Cowboys cornerback Stephon Gilmore (illness) is officially active for Week 15 versus the Buffalo Bills. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction ahead of kickoff. The former Defensive Player of the Year has appeared in all 13 games this season, registering 50 tackles, two interceptions, and one forced fumble. He'll provide key support to the Cowboys as they look to slow down Josh Allen and company on Sunday.

According to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero, the Colts traded cornerback Stephon Gilmore to the Cowboys for a 2023 fifth-round compensatory pick. The 32-year-old had a career-high 66 total tackles in 16 games with the Colts last season, along with two interceptions. Although he's getting up there in age, Gilmore's move to Dallas should bolster an already potent Cowboys defense.
Indianapolis Colts cornerback Stephon Gilmore (wrist) is officially inactive for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Houston Texans. Gilmore came into this one with a questionable tag after not practicing all week, and the Colts will keep him out in a meaningless game to end the year. The 32-year-old five-time Pro Bowler will end his first year with the Colts with a career-high 66 tackles (53 solo), two interceptions and 11 passes defensed in 16 starts. Despite the fact that Gilmore won't suit up on Sunday, Indy's defense/special teams unit could be worth a look as a streamer in deeper leagues while going up against one of the worst offenses in football.
