JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) A person familiar with the negotiations says the Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to terms with Cleveland Browns safety Tashaun Gipson, adding another defensive starter in free agency.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Jaguars aren't announcing free-agent deals until players sign contracts. The Jaguars also agreed to deals with New York Jets running back Chris Ivory and Carolina Panthers punter Brad Nortman earlier Wednesday.

Nortman changed his verified Twitter account to reflect his new team.

Gipson joins Denver Broncos defensive linemen Malik Jackson in Jacksonville, where the duo is expected to reshape the defense. The Jaguars agreed to terms with Jackson on Tuesday.

Jacksonville also re-signed tight end Marcedes Lewis to a three-year contract worth $12 million, keeping the team's longest-tenured player on the roster.
