Goldman to the Commanders

The move comes shortly after the Commanders cut Jonathan Allen, who signed a three-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings.

Now, Goldman comes into the fold as a depth piece with a decade of NFL experience after being taken in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears.

Goldman, 31, spent the first seven years of his career with the Bears before joining the Atlanta Falcons in 2022.

Goldman had a tumultuous tenure with the Falcons where he flirted with retirement in his first two years with the team.

However, Goldman returned to the Falcons in 2024, where he appeared in all 17 games and made 10 starts for the team.

Now, he'll have a chance to continue his career by playing for his hometown team and having a chance to compete for a Super Bowl.
