DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Jaguars' Tashaun Gipson spares only the fans in bashing the Browns

Okay 888, we disagree.

I never reply to you "first." But for some odd reason, you get upset if I reply to you AFTER you get on my ass.

We don't like each other. Big deal. But man, let it go. I will gladly never post to you again. This bickering stuff is old!

j/c:

I think our sensitive fans are way more troubled about what Gipson said than the players are.

Man, some of you whine a lot.

I have you on ignore, too. Why do you keep responding to me?

Would you please provide a link to all the posters you have on ignore? So we can continue to not care?

I got it, lamp.

You are pissed about what he said. That's fine.

I am not pissed about what he said, but I am pissed that Sashi alienated him and he left. I hope that is fine?

No idea, but I don't know Zagura as one to spread crap.

Me neither.. I really don't know the truth and would love to.

Multiple sources have reported that Gipson has reached an agreement with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he joins three-time Pro Bowl center Alex Mack (Atlanta Falcons), right tackle Mitchell Schwartz (Kansas City Chiefs) and wide receiver Travis Benjamin (San Diego Chargers) in leaving the Browns through free agency.

During the regular season, the Browns tried to seek contract extensions with several of their impending free agents, but Gipson was not among them, and with changes abound in the front office and coaching staff, he remained unsigned until Jacksonville targeted him Wednesday.

As a former restricted free agent who played on a one-year tender in 2015, there were limits to the communication that could be had between a player and his current franchise, but Gipson said there was no dialogue between the sides near the end of the season.

“I haven’t heard anything from the Browns, absolutely not,” Gipson said in the final weeks of the 2015 season. “I don’t know what the month of January might hold. I know that as of 2015, it’ll end without contract negotiations, ongoing contract negotiations between my camp and the Browns. You go into that saying, ‘Hey, anything is possible and anything can happen,’ so I really don’t know. I really cannot tell you.

I think Zegura was mistaken. I don't think we ever offered Gipson money let alone more money...

Also, Gipson isn't here and our defense is better, so I'm not sure why all this really matters...

I don't recall Gipson ever being "tagged" either.

I am right. LOL.........

Sashi had more time to sign Gipson [had he wanted to] then Jax did, right? No one can say that Jax was negotiating w/him the previous year, right?

If you click on the link in the article I provided, you will see that Gipson was still hopeful about staying here.

Prior to the year, Gipson was tagged w/a second round tender. He said it cost him about a million bucks. He was hoping for a long-term contract that I don't believe ever materialized.

It's another example of this FO creating yet another hole to fill on a team that has a ton of holes.

I am old school. You bash my team, you bash me.

Reading through all of this, things are coming back to me:

As I recall, the previous regime(s) totally poisoned things with Gipson. From Farmer to Banner, they just seemed to make it their mission to jerk him around. By the time Sashi came aboard, the damage was done and it was a foregone conclusion that he was moving on from us.

I honestly don't think Sashi stood a chance at resigning him. Yes, he had time, but I don't think he had a chance.

"Some of those guys felt the need to address me and, you know, Mama ain't raised no punk," Gipson said, "so at the end of the day things got a little chippy, but that's the game of football."

"One of the guys thought it was necessary to say something to me, and I'm not backing away from no confrontation or anything like that," Gipson said. "I like to do the talking between the lines, but anytime something like that happens, I'm still a man first."

Gipson didn't have quite the impact in the game that he hoped to have on Sunday afternoon, registering four tackles, including one for loss.

"I feel like this defense can come out and pitch shutouts against anyone in the National Football League, not just the Cleveland Browns," Gipson said, referring back to his comments during the week, "but you see it, time after time, it's been (10) consecutive weeks where I feel like we've put out dominant performances."

"I would have played quarterback if I had to for us to get a win, I'm telling you that right now," Gipson said Sunday. "I knew we couldn't leave out of here without a win."
