#25. Washington Redskins: Dashon Goldson
PFF grade (position rank): -12.2 (88th)
2015 salary cap hit: $4 million
Washington’s secondary had to overcome injuries for practically the entire season, and Goldson, at least, gave the unit some veteran leadership and consistency by playing 92 percent of the defensive snaps. But his on-field contributions left a lot of room for improvement.
Pro Football Focus graded Goldson as the worst safety in the NFL to play at least 25 percent of his team’s snaps, making it the third straight year he’s been ranked 81st or below. Though the 31-year-old boasts a reputation as a hard hitter, he often fails to wrap up. His 19 missed tackles were the second-most in the league among safeties.
