Restricted free agent kicker Kai Forbath signed his one-year tender with the Washington Redskins on Thursday.
Forbath posted a picture of himself endorsing a contract in the Redskins’ administrative offices via Instagram.
Washington drafted a kicker in 2014 as competition for Forbath, who narrowly won a training camp competition. Leg strength has been an issue, but he has made 88.1 percent of his career field-goal attempts. However, just four of those tries were from 50 yards or beyond.
Forbath was 28th in the NFL in touchbacks last season and competition is expected in training camp.
