Bummer. I liked Goff. He's labeled as a "2-down thumper", but he's actually very athletic and has the potential to develop into a good all-around MLB. He was a top performer in almost all of the drills for his LB class at the combine. He's extremely smart and has a calm, decisive leadership that is reassuring to the rest of the squad similar to Eli. It's a shame he got injured, I was expecting a break-out year from him this year. Redskins are getting a solid young player with nice potential.

I came in here to post "Championship!", because that's funny.

I remember liking Goff quite a bit coming out of the draft. He obviously couldn't play last year but he's still young and does have starting experience under his belt. He should be a decent pick up.

If Goff is healthy he adds some needed depth at ILB for Skins

Rackers has always been a pretty effective kicker, good signing for Washington.

The Redskins acquired two LBs I really wanted for MN (Keenan Robinson being the other). Solid signing if Goff can return to his pre injury form. Has Fletcher-Baker been resigned yet?
