Bucs Trade S Dashon Goldson to Redskins, Basically Gave Him Away

[HtownColt]

PFT has confirmed that the Buccaneers have traded Goldson plus a 2016 seventh-round pick to Washington for a 2016 sixth-round pick. The trade was first reported by Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times.

@ProFootballTalk: Per source, Bucs will pay the $4 million fully guaranteed under Dashon Goldson's contract for 2015 despite trade to Washington.

I thought he was released

[COLTS449]

Yeah, Goldson isn't the player he was a couple years ago. He was pretty awful with Tampa. Like as bad, maybe worse than Landry.

I'll wait and see.  Tampa was sorry for one, and for two they switched over to a zone scheme, he may be more effective going back to man to man like they'll play in Washington most likely.

i wouldnt of traded for him he's terrible and still costs 4 million unless they restructure which they should

Tampa is paying the $4m. He basically costs Washington 30-40 spots at the back of the 2016 draft. This is a steal for them. You usually only see deals like this in MLB.

Yeah, he's not any good anymore, but still, a free player for low valued draft stock is hard to complain about. I think he still counts against Washington's cap, but Tampa pays the money.

The saved cap is more valuable then any pick they could of gotten for Goldson.

I agree. Good move by both teams I guess.

No loss at all here. Goldson did nothing in Tampa Bay.

I agree I believe the scheme fit for him in Tampa was terrible and the possible switch back to a more aggressive man coverage defense could really elevate his play. Do I think he is the same player he was in SF I highly doubt it, but I think he is a lot better than he was made to look in Tampa. Look at Revis as well, one of the best man to man corners in the game gets put in a zone system in Tampa, and has one of his worst years. Goes back to man to man in NE, and looks much better. Either way it is a low risk high reward for Washington.

Damn we should have done this trade if we wanted a safety he costs nothing for Washington

[lollygagger8]

I'm going to guess he does better this year than last. Seems like a good deal for the Redskins.

Frogs should've pulled the trigger for goldson a 6th pick cmon man!!

[PrincetonTiger]

This could be a win for both teams
