The Facts: Twice over the past few years Gilbert has been part of the Patriots organization. So, naturally, he’s joining former Patriots OC and current Raiders HC Josh McDaniels in Las Vegas. His agent announced the addition on twitter today.
Diehards Line:Gilbert was on the Patriots’ practice squad part of last season. The time before that he was with the Patriots was 2014-15. In between those stints, Gilbert has been around. He even spent some time with the Raiders back in 2015. Gilbert has been active for eight NFL games since then, the first coming in 2018 with the Panthers. He started one game for the Cowboys in 2020 and one game for Washington late last season. Now he’s currently the one and only backup behind Derek Carr for the Raiders. At least until they add a third QB to the offseason roster.
