Falcons' Eddie Goldman: Joins Atlanta
Goldman signed a one-year deal with the Falcons on Wednesday, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.
Goldman will head to Atlanta after six seasons with Chicago, playing 81 games with 73 starts over this span. The 28-year-old has been solid against the run during his career, but his production took a dip in 2021 as he tallied 22 tackles and 0.5 sacks over 14 games. Nevertheless, Goldman should push for a primary role at nose tackle with Ta'Quon Graham and Anthony Rush for the Falcons.

Bears' Eddie Goldman: No tackles in season finale
Goldman posted no stats in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 22 tackles and half a sack.
Goldman averaged fewer than two tackles for the second straight year while posting a career-low 0.5 sacks. As an interior lineman who played fewer than 30 snaps per game, his IDP production will likely remain minimal as he enters his age-28 season. He's signed with the Bears through the 2023 season.
