Tashaun Gipson Sr. Fantasy

The San Francisco 49ers released veteran safety Tashaun Gipson on Tuesday, according to a source. Gipson signed a one-year deal with the Niners just a week ago, but he won't make it onto the initial 53-man roster. The 32-year-old operated as a starter for the Chicago Bears the last two years, putting up 81 solo tackles, one sack, four interceptions, 10 passes defensed and two fumble recoveries in 28 games started. He was a Pro Bowler back in 2014 with the Cleveland Browns, and Gipson has recorded a healthy 563 tackles (408 solo), 27 interceptions (three for touchdowns) and 57 passes defensed in his 10 NFL seasons with four different teams. There's a good chance he'll latch on elsewhere as secondary depth.

The Chicago Bears are signing safety Tashaun Gipson to an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. Gipson was cut by the Texans this week, a year after he was signed to a three-year, $22.5 million deal. He went on Injured Reserve late last season with a back injury after starting the first 14 games. The 29-year-old has 450 tackles, 23 interceptions and 47 passes defensed in his eight seasons in the NFL, and he's spent time with the Browns, Jaguars and Texans. While Gipson doesn't move the needle much in IDP leagues, he'll likely start alongside Eddie Jackson in Chicago. He had 51 tackles (37 solo), three interceptions (one for a TD) and eight passes defensed for Houston last year.
