The San Francisco 49ers are re-signing safety Tashaun Gipson to a one-year, $2.9 million deal with $2.17 million guaranteed. The contract will include statistic and Pro Bowl incentives. Gipson was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old defender has played 11 seasons in the league, spending 2022 with the Niners after two seasons with the Chicago Bears. Gipson stepped in as the team’s starter in 2022, pairing with second-year safety Talanoa Hufanga. He registered 61 tackles, a tackle for a loss, a quarterback hit, eight passes defensed, and five interceptions through 17 starts with the 49ers last season, per Pro Football Reference.
Gipson has recorded 604 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 65 passes defensed, 32 interceptions, three touchdowns, and a forced fumble in 157 game appearances (149 starts) through his 11 NFL seasons with the Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Bears, and 49ers. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2014.
The Browns signed Gipson (6-1, 207) as an undrafted free agent out of Wyoming in 2012.
