Even though most of the big names on the market have been accounted for, the New England Patriots keep making moves in free agency. Their latest came on Wednesday, when they added former Tennessee Titans linebacker Jack Gibbens via a one-year contract.
Full details of the deal are not yet known, but we can already assess what signing the 26-year-old means for the team from a big picture perspective.
Christian Elliss replacement?
Signing Gibbens was not the Patriots’ only linebacker-related move on Wednesday. Christian Elliss, who was originally tendered at the original/undrafted level by the club, signed a restricted free agent offer sheet with the Las Vegas Raiders.
