FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons acquired run-stopping help for the middle of their defensive line, signing former Chicago Bears defensive tackle Eddie Goldman to a one-year deal Wednesday.Goldman, 28, started 73 of 81 games in six seasons with the Bears. He was a second-round pick from Florida State in 2015 and likely will compete for a starting job at nose tackle in the Falcons’ base 3-4 defense.AdvertisementThe 6-foot-3, 325-pound Goldman will join Grady Jarrett as veterans on the defensive front. Goldman played in 14 games, including 10 starts, in 2021.The addition of Goldman addresses a glaring need on the defensive line for the Falcons, who were 7-10 in 2021 under first-year coach Arthur Smith. Atlanta did not re-sign free agent Tyeler Davison and are counting on such young linemen as Marlon Davidson and Ta’Quon Graham to play a bigger role this season.AdvertisementJarrett, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, is returning after signing a three-year, $51 million extension that continues through the 2025 season.
