Safest nsaid!?: There isn't one
they all have to be used carefully and taken with food
they can all cause ulcers and other problems
don't lull yourself into a false sense of security
even Celebrex (celecoxib) has a list of GI warnings
so be safe.

None safe: Unfortunately, none of the NSAID are safe for long term use. They can cause life-threatening ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding, may increase the risk for heart attacks or strokes, and they don’t interact well with drugs used to treat heart failure.
They can make high blood pressure worse, even uncontrollable, and impair kidney function.
