Long snapper is the first Redskins position battle to be decided

Redskins fans, the moment you’ve been waiting for is finally here! One of the team’s position battles has been decided.

What’s that you say? Oh… It’s the long snapper battle. Well, nonetheless, it’s still one less battle that will be taking place during training camp.

On Friday afternoon, the Redskins official Twitter account confirmed that the team had made a roster move. The team decided to release backup long snapper, Andrew East, and add defensive back D.J. White to the mix.

East had been signed last season as an injury replacement to long-time long snapper Nick Sundberg.
