Dirtybird3 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Merge if posted por favor Falcons working out veteran safety Dashon Goldson Posted by Darin Gantt on August 27, 2016, 6:55 AM EDT Getty Images The Falcons might have avoided the worst-case scenario news with safetyKeanu Neal’s knee injury. But they’re making backup plans as well. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Falcons are working outveteran safety Dashon Goldson today. Goldson was released in March by Washington, and has had a few sniffs here and there. The 31-year-old former 49er and Buccaneers safety may be past his prime, but the Falcons might not be able to afford to be picky at the moment. Neal’s having knee surgery after being injured Thursday night, and is expected to miss three or four weeks. The rookie from Florida was heading up a pretty thin depth chart at the position anyway, so bringing in reinforcements is reasonable.

thanat0s Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I'd feel more at ease with him around than with a center field full of kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moist Words Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Don't know which thread this question should go on so I'll just put it here. Has there been any updates on Clayborns injury? Edit: and nevermind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring It Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 ANYONE past his prime at Safety is an upgrade to the Falcons. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Quote The Falcons say Dashon Goldson is talking to other teams and knows what his role with the Falcons would be. Rookie Keanu Neal will miss a couple games after Monday knee surgery so Falcons need depth at strong safety. Dan Quinn said Goldson won't be a starter. Healthy Kemal Ishmael would be starter in place of Neal over Goldson if Goldson signs. Apparently not about money but about role for Goldson, so he'd have to accept being a backup.
