The trade deadline is officially over, which means contending teams that didn’t add a cornerback could turn to a veteran like former Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore. While the Indianapolis Colts went for it all with the Sauce Gardner trade, most contenders didn’t do too much to address the cornerback position. Gilmore is not the player he once was, but he was a solid starter for the Minnesota Vikings last year and expressed an interest in playing in 2025 during the offseason.
