Free-Agent Defender With Mike Vrabel Ties Reportedly Could Visit Patriots

The New England Patriots reportedly “have shown interest” in free agent linebacker Jack Gibbens.

And it appears that interest is mutual.

ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported Sunday that Gibbens could make a visit to New England this week to meet with the Patriots. Gibbens hit the open market this offseason after the Tennessee Titans did not tender the 26-year-old an offer as a restricted free agent.

Gibbens has an obvious tie to Mike Vrabel, who gave Gibbens a shot in the NFL with the Titans as an undrafted free agent out of Minnesota.
