After spending the first three year of his career with the Tennessee Titans, the time for change arrived for linebacker Jack Gibbens. An unrestricted free agent this offseason, he decided to join New England Patriots on a one-year, $1.3 million contract.
The deal allowed him to reunite with his former head coach, Mike Vrabel, and to enter what is one of the NFL’s most experienced off-ball linebacker rooms. Besides him, the group also features eight-year veteran Robert Spillane — a fellow offseason addition — as well as seven-year veteran Jahlani Tavai and five-year vets Christian Elliss and Monty Rice.
