Jack Gibbens Departs Patriots for Two-Year Deal with Cardinals

Linebacker Jack Gibbens has signed a two-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals after the New England Patriots declined to tender the restricted free agent. Gibbens played a significant role in 2025, appearing in 47% of defensive snaps and serving as a core special teams contributor with 10 tackles. The Patriots are now looking to replace his production, with K.J. Britt emerging as a primary candidate to fill the vacancy alongside potential draft targets.
