The Bears have released defensive tackle Eddie Goldman, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reported on Friday. Rapoport mentioned in his tweet that the team tried to find a suitor through a trade, but they have opted to release Goldman, instead.
It seemed like a foregone conclusion that Goldman, still just 28 years old, would not be on the Bears’ roster for much longer. He was slated to have a cap hit of $11.81 million in the 2022 season, and given Chicago’s shift to a base 4-3 scheme, his skill-set no longer projected as a fit for their roster.
