Projection Rationale

Golden’s 2023 performance was a step back from his previous seasons. His sack total was lower than expected, and with only one year remaining on his contract, his role security is uncertain. Golden’s age and impending contract expiration have raised concerns about his long-term prospects. Additionally, the team’s defensive scheme and coaching staff will also play a significant role in determining his future production.
