Dashon Goldson has left the San Francisco 49ers, signing a $41.25 million deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Goldson's five-year deal includes $22 million in guaranteed money.

Goldson had 69 tackles and three interceptions in 2012 for the 49ers, making the Pro Bowl for the second time.

"We had our eyes on him for a while, and certainly when you watch his tape, you see as a coach the things you want in your safety," Bucs coach Greg Schiano said.
