Jack Gibbens Joins Cardinals, Aims for Revival

0:00It's March 22nd. This is NFL News Today Football coverage, powered by AI. The Arizona Cardinals have signed linebacker Jack Gibbons to a two-year deal after his standout season with the New England Patriots. Last year, Gibbons helped that defense with 81 tackles as they turned things around from four wins and 13 losses to reaching the Super Bowl. Now in Arizona, the team hopes he can spark a similar revival under first-year head coach Michael Floor. The Cardinals finish three and 14 last season, and they're still sorting out the quarterback spot without Kyla Murray leading the way. Gibbons has shared his excitement about building team bonds right away, calling it the key to success. He admits leaving, knowing when feels bittersweet after that memorable run. But he sees big potential in Arizona's push to get back on track. He's set to compete with Cody Simon for the starting inside linebacker role next to Mack Wilson Sr. His strong past coverage skills should help in nickel situations, adding leadership to the group.
