Jaguars sign Tashaun Gipson for five years, $35.5 million
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free safety Tashaun Gipson, formerly of the Cleveland Browns, to a five-year, $35.5 million contract.
What It Means:
Jacksonville is not winning free agency at the level of the New York Giants or Miami Dolphins, but they are throwing plenty of money around on defense. After signing defensive end Malik Jackson to a massive deal to upgrade the pass rush, the Jaguars are bringing in the ball-hawking Gipson to shore up the secondary. Gipson should be a big upgrade over Josh Evans and Sergio Brown, but Jacksonville still has some work to do on the back end. For Cleveland, they have now lost four top-tier players on the first day of free agency.
The Jaguars ranked 27th in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points per play in 2015. Gipson will help as he's picked off 13 passes between 2013 and 2015.
