Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon met with the media on Thursday and touched on a number of topics, including the team’s new kickers and the potential addition of edge rusher Trevis Gipson.
Gipson indicated on Wednesday night that he was going to sign with the Titans, but Carthon made it clear the two sides are still working through some things, so it’s not official yet.
However, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported on Thursday morning that Gipson is indeed signing with the Titans, so it appears it’s happening. Check out our article right here explaining why Gipson is such an intriguing addition for Tennessee.

Carthon also noted how Gipson was a menace against Tennessee in preseason Week 1 (he tallied a sack and eight pressures) and believes he’s a great fit for the Titans’ scheme.
In addition to Gipson, the Titans general manager talked about the team claiming former Bears cornerback Kindle Vildor via waivers.

Mentioned Trevis Gipson’s two sacks against TEN in the preseason, says he’s a guy that “fits their scheme.”
Likes the versatility of Vildor playing both inside & outside.
