Should the Redskins have been more patient in getting Goldson? | Rich Tandler's Real Redskins
...Compare what the Redskins are paying Goldson to the one-year, $2 million deal that Tyvon Branch signed with the Chiefs or the one-year, $2.25 million contract Louis Delmas got to stay with the Chiefs. For that matter, Rahim Moore, the second-ranked free agent safety this offseason, got a three-year deal averaging $4 million per year.
On the open market, Goldson would have been offered a deal much closer to what Branch and Delmas got. All the Redskins had to do was wait for the Bucs to cut him...

Love the deal, but points have been made whether even $4million was overpaying him given $2 million deals handed out for midling safeties this offseason. Regardless, I don't care, I'm hoping he does well & revives his careeor for a few years while we draft a replacement. Also I think on our team, we couldn't afford to lose out to another team again and have no options left at safety..
