Skins expected to sign Fletcher

I think Marshall goes to the bench and helps provide valuable depth for the outside and middle. Rocky starts along with MW and Fletcher.

I wish he were younger than 32. I fear we'll throw way too much money at him. I hope if works out if it happens.

Unfortunately the success of the linebackers we have signed in recent years seems to be inversely proportional to their NFL success prior to signing with the Redskins. Marcus Washington was probably the least touted, but he's been phenomenal for us. Unfortunately can't say the same for Armstead, Trotter, Barrow and Holdman.

I have mixed feelings on this move

Check out Fletchers stats, he is incredible. His play has not dropped at all with age. He is still in the prime of his career imo. also note he has never missed a game in his career.
remind you of anybody?

well i sure hope we get a corner. if we dont sign clements who then?

well, they say the mike is the defense's qb... and with matty's posted scouting report, he's got the goods. if he can stick with his man in coverage and help protect the middle a bit more, sean taylor is less apt to make mistakes.

barrow was 35 when he got here i believe, 3 years older. if we can get 3 good years out of fletcher id be extatic

I like Fletcher, and I think he would be a significant upgrade over Marshall, but I'm still very concerned about his age, although he has a reputation of being an extremely durable MLB. I just hope we get 2-3 good years out of him, and draft a MLB next year to groom as his replacement. Hopefully he won't be another Redskins veteran FA bust.

do you really think he'll go back to the bench ? he's been a starter for the past 3 years and he did a very good job the first 2. last year he slipped but so did everyone else on defense. i thought he played reall well when he took lavar's spot. imo, he'll go back to that spot this upcoming season and rocky will be a situational lb.

How about Roderick Hood from Philly? I really dont know much about him but he seems like a good CB from what I remember of him.
