Gillespie (6-foot. 207 pounds) was traded to the Tennessee Titans last year for a seventh-round draft pick.

He had eight tackles in 11 games for Las Vegas in 2021.

He was then waived and joined the Jaguars off waivers and signed to the practice squad.

He was then signed to a reserve-future deal and waived after the draft.

He played in three games last season for Jacksonville with no stats recorded.
