As NFL’s free agency is underway, the Chicago Bears have made one expected move official in releasing nose tackle Eddie Goldman.
Goldman’s release was first reported last Friday by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, who said the Bears were trying to trade Goldman. But when they were unable to find a trade partner, they decided to part ways with the 28-year-old veteran, who’s expected to have a nice market in free agency.
He was slated to have a $11.8 million cap hit in 2022, which was the fourth-highest on the team behind defensive end Robert Quinn, safety Eddie Jackson and offensive lineman Cody Whitehair.
