Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - The Cincinnati Bengals have re-signed
defensive end Wallace Gilberry, who would have become an unrestricted free
agent Tuesday afternoon.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Gilberry joined the Bengals as a free agent last September and finished third
on the team with 6 1/2 sacks in 14 games. He added three fumble recoveries,
returning one for a touchdown, and also forced a fumble.
"Gil came in and helped us right away last season," said Bengals defensive
line coach Jay Hayes in a statement Tuesday. "He's an active guy with a nose
for making plays. We're glad to have him back, and to get him this year in
time for a full run in our offseason program."
Gilberry spent his first four NFL seasons with Kansas City and has 20 1/2
sacks in his career.
