Huge signing for our secondary. He had a decent year last year but was great the year before.

Free safety was one the Jaguars' major needs, along with pass-rusher. Gipson, 25, gives them a player they trust to play single-high coverage and will allow them to use Johnathan Cyprien strictly as a box safety.
Gipson was a Pro Bowl selection in 2014, but he was slowed in 2015 by a hamstring injury before the season and an ankle injury during it.
