The Redskins have signed kicker Neil Rackers, according to Mark Berman of FOX 26 in Houston.
“We’re headed to Washington,” said Rackers, who spent the last two years in Houston. “I visited with Coach Shanahan and [special teams coach] Danny Smith out there [Monday] and really enjoyed what they had to say. I’ll be competing for a job with Graham Gano, who is an established, good kicker.”
Rackers said he wanted to stay in Houston, but that the Texans never came through with a multi-year offer.
“We’ve had promises for a while now on a long-term deal and they came to us with a minimum offer,” Rackers said. “So we just felt like the opportunity for advancement was not in Houston. We came in and did the job like they asked us to. Didn’t really feel like that was appreciated. I am really excited to go to Washington. Really excited to compete. Really excited to hopefully win a job and be the guy in Washington.”
Gano probably isn’t as excited. |

Are you being facetious? He scored a 2 on KO power. Only had 22 touchbacks. Gano at least got a 5. |

How does he kick with DL 3-4 yatds into the back field.
Danny Smith was more of the problem last year than Gano was. Any time your FG/extra point team gets 9 kicks blocked there is a problem with coaching. |

| I said last year Ga-No Good was in trouble. Hopefully he gets it together, but he's a choke artist, so even a good preseason isn't a guarantee that he won't go shankapotamus again. |

| Neil Rackers is da** good, I'm shocked that this is even a poll. Gano is gone. I had Rackers on my fantasy squad last year (I won the champion ship, only lost one game the entire season lol) and he was a beast. |

I like him too and I wish I had him on my fantasy team.
How old is Rackers?

We needed to have competition for Gano and the FO has brought in a solid kicker
we might even see another one brought in
we have been looking for these guys to ensure that there is competition for each and every position
Rackers will push Gano and we'll end up with the better kicker |

I predict one of two things will happen:
1) Gano will beat out Rackers in the pre-sesason, going 12-12 on kicks including a beast 60 yarder. Then will finish the season 30-46 with eight blocked kicks.
2) Rackers beats out Gano in the preseason. Then finishes out the regular season 30-46 with eight blocked kicks. Gano will get picked up by Pittsburgh and earn a pro bowl appearance. |
