For many offseasons, the Atlanta Falcons have been trying to address their defensive line. And for many offseasons they have struggled to do so. In early July, the Falcons made a really good move, in my opinion, by signing veteran defensive tackle Eddie Goldman. Goldman—who is only 28-years old—was set to join a defensive line with Grady Jarrett, instantly creating a fascinating tandem.
That all changes now, as Goldman announced his retirement from the NFL on Tuesday.
No official statement has been given at this time, but after playing six seasons in the league, Goldman is hanging up his cleats.
