Seminole Star Eddie Goldman Resurfaces to Plug Giants’ Frontline Holes
The New York Giants are scrambling to fill gaps along their defensive front after Roy Robertson-Harris went down with a suspected Achilles tear. Enter former Florida State standout Eddie Goldman, invited for a tryout as the team seeks size and proven veteran savvy. With three seasons anchoring FSU’s 2013 national title defense and an eight-year pro résumé spanning the Bears, Falcons, and Commanders — including 215 tackles and 14 sacks — Goldman could shore up interior run defense. New York’s offseason trade of Dexter Lawrence left a vacuum, and with veterans like D.J. Reader and Shelby Harris failing to solidify the middle, the Giants hope Goldman’s championship bloodline and timely tryout might offer a quick fix.
Brace yourselves, Giants fans: the team that once traded away a Pro Bowl anchor now seeks salvation by reviving a defensive lineman who’s spent more time in rehab than a Hollywood starlet. If nothing else, Goldman’s return to the field will illustrate football’s most steadfast rule — when in doubt, call back the guy you let go five years ago. Expect tear-jerking locker room speeches and maybe a celebratory pizza party if he successfully ties his cleats without assistance.
Browns Gamble on Rehabbed Edge Weapon Janarius Robinson
Janarius Robinson, a 6’5″, 263-pound defensive end drafted in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft, is getting a fresh audition with the Cleveland Browns. After a fractured foot and stints on injured reserve limited his time with the Vikings and Chiefs, Robinson worked out for Cleveland as they seek depth behind Myles Garrett. Originally a standout at Florida State (105 tackles and eight sacks from 2016 to 2020), Robinson has bounced through multiple organizations, and now under first-year defensive coordinator Mike Rutenberg, the Browns are evaluating whether his length and athletic upside can translate into reliable pressure.
The Browns’ latest foray into the waiver wire resembles a thrift-store shopping spree: you might find a designer jacket disguised by moth holes, or in this case, a relentless defender hiding behind recent fractures. If Robinson’s workout goes well, expect Cleveland’s social media to unveil another “future star” just as soon as the next batch of physicals clears. And if it doesn’t? Well, there’s always plan Z—sign every other cast member from your local high school.
