Dallas Cowboys acquire five-time Pro Bowl CB Stephon Gilmore via trade with Colts

The Dallas Cowboys are acquiring five-time Pro Bowl cornerback Stephon Gilmore in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts, sources confirmed.

The Cowboys will give up in a 2023 fifth-round compensatory pick for Gilmore, who is a former two-time All-Pro.

Gilmore, who is his fourth team in as many years, may not be the same player he was when he was the 2019 NFL Defensive Player of the Year with the New England Patriots.

But he had a strong strong season in 2022 with Colts, recording 66 tackles, two interceptions, and 11 passes defensed, while starting every game.

Gilmore is set to make $7.96 million this season in the final year of a two-year he signed with the Colts last season.

He gives the Cowboys a proven veteran cornerback to play opposite Pro Bowler Trevon Diggs and strengthens a defense and a secondary that was already one of the best in the league.

It was the second big move made by the Cowboys on Tuesday, who re-signed safety Donovan Wilson on a three-year, $24 million deal earlier in the day.
