Redskins.com twitter - Redskins officially sign K Rackers and LB Goff

[Warpath11]

Really like the Goff signing as well the guy just seems to have a nose for the football. He may not have the best measurables in the works but his instincts and play recognition are very good. A great addition IMO.

Does this mean that McIntosh is on his way out? Fletcher+Riley+Goff+Robinson? Do we usually keep 3 backup ILB?

McIntosh is a FA... so he's already been out.

[ConnSKINS26]

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.

Huh? He's being brought in to compete with Gano. Doubtful he's our K this year.

Has there been any interest in re-signing him?

McIntosh = UFA, not coming back.

Fletch and Riley = starters, Robinson drafted to be backup to, learn from and succeed Fletch, Goff signed to challenge Riley for 2nd starting spot.

My guess

Don't forget, though, that Lorenzo Alexander is also moving inside, not sure where that figures into things. Insurance in case Robinson/Goff don't work out, back to OLB/DE if they do? Awesome to have flexibility!

Love the Goff signing. LOVE IT!!! Stole a young potential starter from a division rival!

Agree. I hope Gano beats him out. Not that I don't like Rackers, but Gano is much, much younger and could be our long term answer if he improves.

[GhostofAlvinWalton]

You're right. And we will likely keep quite a few regardless. I suppose I was thinking too much ILB.

We'll need at minumum 4 ILBs....mybe more (Alexander)

BTW, how's "the Cape" doing with the loss of the shuttle program? I grew up just up the road from there.

[TheGreek1973]

Man Goff is very interesting. May he turn out as good for us as Pierce turned out for the Giants. Now that would be poetic justice.....

Yea but Gano makes me want to break my TV most Sundays

Miserable bro. There may be opportunities for those because I think I heard there's a company that is working on similar projects - something like that. Titusville, Cocoa Beach, Merrit Island and surrounding areas are bad. It's sad because I'm sure this place was booming in the 80's & 90's. The job market is very, very poor. I'm having a hard time myself since being laid off from a company in Reston, Va. I was working remotely. Hard times man - very hard. All we can do is hope better things are on the horizon.

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Two more great moves.

Gano at the very least has serious pressure in what should develop into an open kicking competition in camp. (Let's see if he can finally handle the pressure.).

And Goff is at the very least quality depth. Maybe even more if he's fully recovered. The Giants where real high on him a few years back.

Hail.

[Rocky52Mc]

No sadly not =/

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

No sadly not =/

Total aside, but stick with the screenie man.

Rocky's been your guy from the get go, whatever anyone thinks he had a decent lasting modern day career here; so don't go changing just because he's gone as some would ask.

Be loyal to your guy.

Hail.

Sorry to hear that. I would normly recommed moving but if you have a house we both know that's not an option. I can't believe how bad the housing market has been hit down there. Good luck buddy.
