Redskins Ink Another Punter


The Washington Redskins have been searching for answers in their punting game and have been cycling through punter after punter to try and find a solution. The next one in the cycle is veteran Dirk Johnson. Terms of his contract were not disclosed.


Johnson has a 41.7-yard career average and a career net average of 35.9. He has punted for several teams in the NFL including New Orleans, Chicago, Arizona and he has also punted in the Super Bowl for Philadelphia in 2004.


The Redskins ranked last in the NFL in net average last season. Draft pick Durant Brooks won the job over incumbent Derrick Frost during training camp, then was cut and replaced by Ryan Plackemeier in October. Plackemeier was released last month.
