Eddie Goldman signed with the Atlanta Falcons in 2022 to much fanfare. A talented defensive lineman coming off a bit of a down year, Goldman figured to add stability and potency to a line that needed his help. Instead, he wound up retiring just 13 days into his Falcons tenure, a surprising ending to a solid career.
Except it wasn’t really the end. Goldman unretired and returned to the Falcons in March of last year, spending the spring and much of the summer with the team before being placed on the exempt/left squad list in late July, having apparently decided to end his NFL career once again.
