The more I think about it, the more I like the move. With Fletcher, our LB corps will vastly improved. He knows the system, and the guy can tackle. Along with Rocky and MW, we should be pretty straight. Now let's move to addressing the D-line.

knowing the system doesn't matter.
his age doesn't matter.
can he play right now? can he play well over the next 2 or 3 years? that's what matters.

yeah, i definitely think fletcher can play for at least 2 more years at a high level.
it wasn't cheaper to keep dock or champ or smoot or.... it was cheaper to keep betts, sellers, etc. moss was a steal too.
it's really only cheaper to DRAFT your own. a lot of players don't give home town discounts, so you have to keep some of your FAs at full retail, which, of course, isn't cheap.

moss wasnt a steal because we had to take a 9 million dollor cap hit because of coles. It would have been cheaper to keep smoot instead of paying him now because we had to give rogers a 10 million bonus and not get marrieman and bailey wanted 14 we gave portis 17. We alread had betts and passed on portis in the draft that year.

if we signed dyson (for the same price as rogers that year), we probably wouldn't need smoot now, so it would be cheaper. coles was going to be out anyways, that hit was on him and the FO which would have had to lose cap space there or on sitting him anyways, so saying that didn't make moss cheap is inaccurate at best (danny didn't lose any money on coles btw, he was already paid, the skins lost cap space instead).
