Redskins trade for Free Safety Dashon Goldson

[MTK]

The safety spots have clearly been upgraded IMO. Getting a potential solid starter in Goldson for a swap of late round picks is a no brainer. McCloughan knows him well, that's all I need to know.

Thank you.

My question for everyone complaining that "he's too old" or "He's a 2-win cast off" is, what other option did we have?

With this move we keep our CB's where their at and have a safety who knows the GM and corner he'll be playing with. Sounds like a good move to me.

I know we're looking to get younger but a lot of us (including myself at times) are forgetting this is not a 1 year rebuild. I have no issues letting Goldson play safety over anybody else we would have had back there and who knows, maybe someone in camp will surprise and push him for the starting role.

It's always good to have more bodies in camp for competition, if nothing else.
