NFL Suspends Free Agent Safety Tashaun Gipson

The NFL has suspended free agent safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. for six games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Gipson, who spent the last two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers, revitalized his career by becoming a starting safety and a locker room leader. Despite turning 34 in August, Gipson demonstrated solid performance, recording 60 tackles, a sack, and an interception in 2023. Before his time with the 49ers, he played for the Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, and Chicago Bears. Gipson remains eligible to participate in preseason activities before his suspension takes effect once the regular season begins. His suspension impacts his free-agent status, though he remains a valuable and experienced player on the market.
