The Washington Redskins re-signed kicker Kai Forbath to a one-year, $1.54-million contract on Wednesday.

Forbath, a career 88-percent field-goal kicker, announced the signing on his Instagram account. A restricted free agent, Forbath was extended the tender last month but didn't make it official until Wednesday.

This will be Forbath's fourth season with the Redskins and it is likely that a competition will take place in training camp as it did in 2014 when Forbath beat out Zach Hocker to keep the job.
