Former 49ers S Tashaun Gipson suspended 6 games

The NFL has suspended free agent safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. for six games. Gipson spent the past two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.

Signed for extra depth just before the 2022 season, Gipson re-energized his career with the 49ers, quickly becoming the starter at free safety. He was brought back on a one-year, $2.9 million deal.

In two seasons with San Francisco, Gipson, who turns 34 in August, became a trusted locker room leader for the other young defensive backs and a stalwart on the back end of the defense.

In 2023, Gipson started 16 games, posting 60 tackles with a sack and an interception after tallying 61 tackles and five interceptions in 2022.
