MusaEddie Goldman Joins Washington Commanders on One-Year Contract.
The Washington Commanders have made a key addition to their defensive line, signing veteran defensive tackle Eddie Goldman to a one-year contract. The move aims to bolster the team’s interior defense as they prepare for the upcoming NFL season.
Goldman, 30, brings a wealth of experience to Washington. Originally drafted in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears, he quickly established himself as a formidable presence in the trenches. Over six seasons with Chicago, Goldman became known for his run-stopping ability and strength at the point of attack. He recorded 13 sacks, 175 total tackles, and 18 tackles for loss during his tenure with the Bears.
After opting out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns, Goldman returned in 2021 but was released by Chicago in 2022. He briefly joined the Atlanta Falcons but retired before playing a game. Now, with a fresh opportunity in Washington, Goldman is set to contribute as a rotational piece on the Commanders’ defensive front.
Washington has been focusing on reinforcing its defensive line, and the addition of Goldman provides much-needed depth alongside standouts such as Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne. His ability to clog running lanes and provide interior pressure will be valuable for a defense looking to improve against the run.
Goldman’s signing aligns with the Commanders’ strategy of adding experienced veterans to support their core group of young defensive playmakers. If he can return to his pre-2020 form, he could prove to be a key contributor for Washington this season.
As the Commanders gear up for training camp, all eyes will be on Goldman to see how he fits into defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr.’s system. Fans will be eager to see if the veteran lineman can make a significant impact and help Washington strengthen its defensive front.
