Eddie Goldman is back.

The Falcons announced they’ve reinstated the defensive tackle from the reserve/retired list on Tuesday.

Goldman had signed a free-agent deal with Atlanta last July seven seasons with the Bears. But he elected to retire a few days later.

While Goldman opted out of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he came back to appear in 14 games with 10 starts in 2021. That year, he recorded 22 total tackles and 0.5 sacks.

In 81 games with 73 starts, Goldman has recorded 175 career tackles with 18 TFLs, 21 QB hits, and 13.0 sacks.

  1. I wish him the best, but that is a scary signing. He clearly doesn’t want to play football that badly.

  2. Here’s another loser. Totally overrated, a reach in the draft and wants to come out of retirement because Atlanta has tons of money to spend.

    How dumb is it for Atlanta to rent guys on their last legs? What purpose does it serve?

  3. This guy is a scaredy-cat, opted out of the 2020 season like a wuss!

    He was great his first 3 years and then become a turd.

  5. Lost his desire to play football, but did lose his desire for money. Loafed his last year with the Bears, but took the money.
