Unless he's a whole lot better than some younger, healthier guy on our roster, I would pass.  He's 29 years old, and since we are in rebuilding mode, that's not the kind of player you want taking up a roster spot.

I understand your points, but I still disagree.


Our defense could use some quality veteran leadership.. especially with the departure of almost all of our vets.


Aging players become an issue for 2 things: Injuries, and  slowing down/ lack of production. T Gip hasn’t suffered much from either, he’s always been in great shape, and 29 ain’t anywhere near 35.

Also, even if he’s gotten any slower it doesn’t matter too much because he’s playing safety.. not CB.

I’ll stick to my guns here. I think he’d be a great signing.

In accordance to multiple late season injuries to which were more severe than initially anticipated, resigning Gip would be a mistake in my opinion. When an veteran is released, it's either an salary cap, age and or injury issue. His recent injuries has been documented. Signing an veteran for leadership purposes implies that that person has to be on the field of play leading the team. Gip won't supplant our existing safeties.

Time Will Tell.

NH3...
