The Giants are working out Eddie Goldman Getty Images<\/p>\n
Goldman, 32, is an eight-year veteran who played in 13 games (six starts) last season for the Commanders. <\/p>\n
He had 26 tackles (four for loss) before leaving the Week 15 game against the Giants with a concussion. He was a 2015 second round draft pick of the Bears out of Florida State and had 4.5 of his 14 career sacks as a rookie.<\/p>\n
Goldman has some blank spots on his resume. He opted out of the 2020 COVID-19 season, citing health concerns with his history of asthma.<\/p>\n
After he signed with the Falcons in July of 2022, he announced his retirement and missed the 2022 and 2023 seasons. He un-retired in 2024 and played in all 17 games for the Falcons.<\/p>\n

Robertson-Harris lined up last season at defensive end. Free agent Shelby Harris and returning Chauncey Golston are on the depth chart at that spot. <\/p>\n
Darius Alexander, a 2025 third-round pick, and Zacch Pickens \u2013 claimed off waivers from the Chiefs \u2013 are also defensive linemen who are not considered nose tackles. Goldman, at 6-foot-3 and 320 pounds, has been more of a nose tackle in his NFL career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Giants last week lost a defensive lineman vying for a place in the starting lineup and on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":667174,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[977,349,116384,229271,99],"class_list":["post-667173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-new-york-giants","tag-nfl","tag-nfl-free-agency","tag-nfl-free-agency-2026","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=667173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/667173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/667174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=667173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=667173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=667173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
