Terms of the contract were not released. Jean-Gilles spent the past five seasons with the Eagles, starting 25 games from 2008-10, but was cut after the season. He signed with the Cincinnati Bengals but was cut again on Saturday. The 6-foot-3, 320-pound Jean Gillis should help fill a void after starter Geoff Schwartz and then potential fill-in starter Garry Williams both went down with season-ending injuries. Monday update: To make room on the roster, the Panthers have cut veteran safety Sean Considine. |
