Brandon Gibson has been lining up in the slot in Dolphins OTAs.
Gibson was primarily an outside receiver in St. Louis, but the Dolphins are set outside the hashes with Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline. Stone-handed with zero after-the-catch ability, Gibson is not a good fit for the slot, but the coaching staff has to play him somewhere after GM Jeff Ireland foolishly handed out a three-year, $9.755 million deal. The Dolphins would have been better off letting the Jets sign Gibson and keeping Davone Bess through the final year of his contract. May 22 - 5:55 PM

Dolphins agreed to terms with WR Brandon Gibson, formerly of the Rams, to a three-year contract.

The Jets' top free-agent target is taking his talents to South Beach. Gibson, 25, is the latest mediocre talent to join GM Jeff Ireland's burgeoning "Dream Team," and should be slotted into his ideal role of No. 3 receiver behind Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline. Gibson can move the chains and is a threat in the red zone, but offers nothing after the catch and is prone to mental mistakes. His 108 yards after the catch were an absurd 167th in the NFL last season. With just one 100-yard game in 54 career contests, Gibson won't be a major threat for fantasy value as the fourth or fifth option in Miami's pass game. Davone Bess may be done in Miami.

Free agent Brandon Gibson is visiting the Dolphins on Friday, and will head to Tennessee if he leaves town without a contract.

The Miami Herald's Armando Salguero believes Gibson is in the Dolphins' plans at the "right price." The Dolphins have yet to meet a free agent they didn't like. The Jets still have the biggest need for Gibson, and may up their offer if they find Gibson on the verge of signing with Miami or Tennessee.

Free agent Brandon Gibson has left his visit with the Jets without a contract.

NFL free agents are looking for money and a chance to win. The Jets can offer neither. So Gibson is on to a visit with the Dolphins, where he'd slide in as a No. 3 receiver behind Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline. Davone Bess' Miami future is in question. Gibson also has a Friday visit scheduled with the Titans.
Mar 14 - 11:43 AM

Free agent Brandon Gibson plans to visit the Titans on Friday.

Gibson has a long way to go until then. He's still in New York with the Jets, and that visit will conclude Thursday morning. Gibson will then go to Miami to talk with the Dolphins before finally arriving in Nashville. We're not positive that he even makes it out of New York.
Mar 13 - 9:06 PM

Free agent Brandon Gibson is "still talking" to the Jets, and it's "unclear" if he'll make his scheduled Thursday visit to the Dolphins.

Gibson had reportedly left New York without a deal, but that's not the case. Perhaps Wes Welker's surprisingly affordable deal made it clear to Gibson how limited his market truly is. Gang Green is the favorite for his services.
Mar 13 - 6:17 PM

The New York Daily News reports free agent Brandon Gibson is expected to "continue his free agent tour" after meeting with the Jets.

Per ace beat writer Manish Mehta, the Jets' offer "may not be good enough right now." It continues Gang Green's rough early start to free agency, but it's quite possible Gibson is overestimating his value. We wouldn't rule out an eventual deal with the Jets.
Mar 13 - 2:32 PM

Free agent WR Brandon Gibson is scheduled to visit the Dolphins following Wednesday's meeting with the Jets.

While the Jets likely view Gibson as a go-to guy in their offense opposite Santonio Holmes, the Dolphins would wisely use him as a No. 3/4 receiver behind starters Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline. We'll see if Gang Green can actually land one of their targets after striking out on Day 1.
Mar 13 - 8:40 AM

Free agent Brandon Gibson will visit the Jets on Wednesday.

The Jets have identified their top target, and it's a No. 3 receiver. Gang Green appears to be the only team seriously pursuing Gibson at the moment, but his pre-FA buzz suggests that will change soon.
Mar 12 - 4:32 PM

The New York Daily News reports the Jets' interest in free agent Brandon Gibson is "serious."

Gang Green is the buzzed-about Gibson's first serious suitor, at least publicly. He'd provide a jolt of experience and production to a receiver corps lacking both, but is an obvious candidate to get overpaid. The Jets don't have much money to throw around, so they could be out if a bidding war comes about.
Mar 12 - 1:11 PM

A source tells the New York Post that the Jets have interest in free agent WR Brandon Gibson.

For a former sixth-round pick with a career-high of 691 yards, Gibson has generated a ton of buzz. It's unclear if the cap-strapped Jets can even afford his potential price tag. Perhaps the Jets' miserable pass-catching situation would appeal to Gibson as he'd have a good shot at stepping in as the No. 2 wideout.
Mar 12 - 12:27 PM

USA Today confirms the Dolphins have contacted free agent Brandon Gibson, but that he's only seen as a "fallback option" in case they fail to land Mike Wallace.

Since the "league-wide expectation" is that the Dolphins will sign Wallace, the odds are low Gibson will be joining Brian Hartline in Miami. Gibson has yet to be connected to other teams, but will be soon. He's as good as gone from St. Louis.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the Rams and free agent Brandon Gibson will part ways.

Gibson wants "a fresh start." The Rams were interested in re-signing Gibson, but there was no chance he'd get the same kind of money from St. Louis that he might command in a weak free-agent class. "Indications are" Gibson will have a chance for a No. 2 role somewhere. The Miami Herald has reported that the Dolphins are "serious" on Gibson, and he could be seeking $6 million annually.
Mar 10 - 12:19 PM

The Miami Herald reports the Dolphins contacted free agent WR Brandon Gibson on Saturday, and talks are said to be "serious."

The real juice to the story is that "some believe that Gibson could earn a contract comparable to the one given to Brian Hartline" last week -- five years and $31 million with $12.5 million guaranteed. While it's unclear how talks with Gibson would affect a Mike Wallace pursuit, we'd guess that he would likely be a fallback option. Miami is also said to be interested in free agent Wes Welker.
Mar 10 - 11:51 AM

NFL.com reports free agent Brandon Gibson is drawing strong interest, and could end up in the AFC East.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch recently reported there is a "fair amount of interest" in the 6-foot-0, 205-pound wideout, who is coming off a career year. All four AFC East teams have a major need at receiver, though the Jets are unlikely to have the money for Gibson, who would ideally be someone's No. 3. Gibson is a strong-handed red-zone threat, but prone to mental mistakes.
