According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Bears attempted to cultivate a trade for Gipson, but couldn't make a deal happen. Gipson has recorded 10 sacks over the past two seasons, proving himself a valuable piece of any defensive line.
Following the news of his release, Gipson wrote a goodbye to Bears fans on Twitter (X).
"Bears Nation, I have been released and now looking forward to my next step! I appreciate all the love and support/memories!! Thank you to the fullest! Much love to the city of Chicago and you'll forever have a spot in my heart! 🧡💙"
