Free agent linebacker Rich Milot Wednesday shunned the Philadelphia Stars of the fledgling U.S. Football League to re-sign with the Washington Redskins, according to General Manager Bobby Beathard.
Milot, a starter his three seasons with the Redskins, had received a lucrative offer from the Stars, according to his agent, Washington attorney Richard Bennett. But Milot chose to remain with the Redskins, becoming the first of the club's 15 free agents to re-sign.
Beathard is due to talk with running back John Riggins this week, but the meeting is not definite. Riggins reportedly has been offered a $2.5 million, three-year guaranteed contract by the Michigan Panthers of the USFL.

Gene Goodlow, a wide receiver for three seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League, says he has signed a six-year, $1.6 million contract with the New Orleans Saints of the National Football League.
Goodlow, 24, who left Kansas State after his sophomore season, said the contract signed Wednesday included a $545,000 bonus. He was drafted by the Saints in 1981, but couldn't sign with the NFL team until this year because of his contract with Winnipeg, he said.
Goodlow said the Saints' contract also includes an option for an additional season. In his second year with Blue Bombers, Goodlow set a CFL record with 100 receptions, gaining 1,494 yards and scoring 14 touchdowns.
