1 year deal.

Interesting that Gibbens wasn't tendered.

 

[Ross12]

Felt like a given that Gibbens would be back, but perhaps not?

I am sure this is a depth/ST move, just depends whether he is in addition to Gibbens or replaces him

The only reason they wouldn't at least low-tender him is because they need the 3 million bucks.
For something.

One of those names that I recognise but can't remember ever noticing in a game

There's still another LB spot (Tavai).

 

[Rob0729]

Don't the Patriots have until 4PM to tender Gibbens?

I'm no expert on the rules I'm afraid.

Certainly but I don't think he replaces Tavai.

Starter 1 - Spillane
Starter 2 - vacant (Tavai)
Depth 1 - Ellis
Depth 2 - vacant (Gibbens)
Depth 3 - Muma

So a cheaper version of Anfernee Jennings? Fits a role at a cheaper price.

I guess that I would say that the team is comfortable with Ellis being a starter.

Yes.

 

[Ross12]

They might ride Ellis as the 2nd LB for a year as his deal expires after 2026, while drafting someone this year to red shirt and replace him in 2027.

No.

Britt is an ILB and STer.

Yeah, based on his history, he’s much better suited for a ST role.

Awful coverage grades, serviceable as a run defender.

 

[Joey007]

Guess the team and I will agree to disagree there.

Hmmm I figured he was an edge guy. Good to know.
