The Washington Redskins still haven’t made a decision on their place-kicker for the 2010 season.
The team cut Sean Suisham last year after he missed a couple of chip-shot field goals, including a brutal miss that would have sealed up a huge, upset win over the New Orleans Saints.
Washington eventually brought in Graham Gano, who had lost the training camp kicking competition in Baltimore.
Gano was effective for the Redskins and also has a strong leg, but he didn’t do enough to lock up the job for 2010.
The team will look to bring in a veteran kicker that gets cut from another roster to compete with Gano for the job.

Washington Redskins head coach is confident that starting wide receiver Santana Moss won’t be disciplined by the NFL following the news that Moss allegedly received HGH from Canadien doctor Anthony Galea, who was accused of drug smuggling, conspiracy, lying to federal agents, unlawful distribution of HGH and introducing an unapproved drug into interstate commerce last week. Shanahan has said that he feels “very good” about the situation.
Moss, who was one of a handful of athletes who allegedly received HGH from Galea, has declined to comment on the story to the media, but told his teammates that he had no idea that the doctor was injecting him with HGH during the three times he was treated by him.
Still, the NFL could suspend Moss whether he knowingly took the HGH or not. Commissioner Roger Goodell has made it clear that he’s going to be proactive about disciplining players to maintain the integrity of his league. Multiple players, including star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, have been suspended without ever being found guilty of anything in the court of law.
In light of this story and the possibility that Moss, the team’s No. 1 receiver, could miss time this season, rumors have swirled about Terrell Owens joining the Redskins. The embattled Owens, who spent last season in Buffalo, has yet to find a home. It would be an interesting acquisition, reuniting him with quarterback Donovan McNabb, with whom Owens had a tenuous relationship during their season together in Philadelphia.
