I wouldn't say meaningless because he's better than last years' old Ryan Clark, and better than having pretty much nothing (which is what we had before we got him).

Clearly age matters at safety and we can't expect too much.. Ryan Clark retired at 35, Polamalu at age 33, Reed at 35 (obviously the last two were among the best all time and that helps longevitiy). Seems to be the proverbial "wall" happens for safeties around 30-32, so the very best we could hope is Goldson would be good for 1 or maybe two years. Not expecting much but hoping for developing a young replacement.
