AP

After visiting Washington and working out for the team today, free agent linebacker Nick Barnett has signed a one-year contract.

Barnett confirmed the signing with a four-character tweet, writing, ?HTTR,? for ?Hail to the Redskins.?

The Washington Post reports that Barnett met with defensive coordinator Jim Haslett, ?fell in love? with the team?s coaching staff and is particularly excited to be playing with linebacker London Fletcher.

Barnett started all 16 games each of the last two seasons for the Bills after playing eight seasons for the Packers before that.
