#Redskins announce the official signings of UFA's K Neil Rackers and LB Jonathan Goff

Like the Rackers signing! Heck of a leg. This will at least put Gano on his toes...

[HeluCopter29]

I LOVE the Goff signing. If he can bounce back this year, our LB's will be the greatest thing ever.

I second that.

Wow, I didn't even know we were looking at Goff. I'm good with that.

Man there is competition all over this team. Such a nice suprise. May the best man win.

[#98QBKiller]

Both are good moves IMO. The Goff signing has big potential.

Like Shanahan says, competition at every position. I think it will only make the Skins better.

[Chump Bailey]

We have many promising LB's now, I just hope they get a legit chance since evaluating them all fairly is going to take some doing I would think.

Keenan Robinson
White
Jackson
Kehl
Alexander
Goff
Wilson
McNally
Other UDFA I can't recall

As much of a shock as this should apparently come to some posters, the FO saw the UFA/UDFA class as also a very strong one this year and it's been a serious part of their planning from before the draft.

After RG3, this is the biggest move of the offseason so far. It represents a three to four game swing in the win column. If RG3 can get off to a quick start this team WILL make the playoffs b/c of Neil "Rack 'em up" Rackers.

I hope that includes the RG & RT positions too.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm still trying to get used to us having a competent front office! It feels like a dream ...

...Welp, I know what thing I'm going to put in the "Dumbest thing you've ever heard a Redskins fan say" thread...

Rackers will come in and compete with Gano. If it ends up being a deadlock, Gano stays, Rackers go. And a 100 or so Redskins fans will cry like the brats they can be sometimes.

[Rodriggo]

Rackers will come in and compete with Gano.

Rackers is a solid professional NFL placekicker. Gano is not. Competition's over.
