The guy was released by a two win team. Scheme or no scheme they obviously saw that he wasn't capable of making plays and didn't make enough during his time there. I'll stand by my vote on this one, it's a bad signing.

I don't think this is a great signing, but given how low risk and low cost it is I have a hard time calling it a bad one.

If we had given Goldson the deal Tampa Bay gave him when they signed him, then yes it is a bad signing. I believe the Bucs are paying all the guaranteed money; if he doesn't work out then we can part ways with him without losing much (you can never have a risk free signing).

I also don't care much about the fact that Tampa Bay released him; they also released DE Micheal Johnson, who they signed last year to a ton of money and didn't work out. Apparently teams still don't learn from our mistake during the Vinny years of blindly throwing a ton of money at prized free.

For once, I'm glad to be on being the team that scoops up the lucrative free agent acquisition that didn't work out in other team, rather than be the team that makes the lucrative free agent acquisition.

The only think I don't like about this signing is that we didn't get a coverage safety (Goldson is more of a SS IMO).
