Goldson began his career with the San Francisco 49ers, and was selected to the Pro Bowl following the 2011 and 2012 seasons. The Bucs signed Goldson to a five-year, $41 million contract in 2013, but he never quite lived up to his billing with Tampa Bay, which also sent a 2016 seventh-round draft pick to the Redskins in the deal.

Goldson issued a series of statements on Twitter to fans of both the Bucs and Redskins.

“To Buc Nation, I’m sorry things didn’t workout the way we both wanted them to,” Goldson said. “… I’ve learned a lot in the 2 yrs spent there and it has been an honor to be part of the Buc nation, to play for the buccaneers and share my time with the community.”

Goldson is the 10th former Pro Bowler traded this offseason, among them LeSean McCoyBrandon Marshall and Jimmy Graham.
