And I'll give the Redskins some credit: this must be a frustrating situation and they have at no point gone public with any of their frustrations.
I still want to see the results though. For every bit of praise that Bruce Allen deserves for being great at writing contracts, I don't know if he'd ever get a free pass on Fletcher going elsewhere and having even just one last strong season.

Are we really that desperate that we're calling a 36 year old LB on a 5-11 team irreplacable? As much as I like Fletch, we need to start looking in another direction. Let's get another young guy in there that can go with Riley for the next several years.

He's truly the only good consistent player on this team. Sign him. Give him what he wants he deserves it.

You can get that other young guy and still keep Fletcher. No young guy is gonna play as well as Fletch right out of the gate so he is very much a necessity. Not to mention that Riley benefits from having a great veteran like Fletch playing right beside him and teaching him the ropes.

At one point he was 11 pro bowl alternates out of 12 years, what a smack in the face that has to be. Anyways, no one better for younger players to be around, he should be kept for that alone.

This is a smart response.

A few tweets from a ES insider.

Adam, London, Landry, none of them close at this time @LL56_HTTR called it a game of chicken, and thats on point
From various other tweets, seems London is trying to max out on this contract since it'll be his last one. Looking for a Ray Lewis type of deal around 3years/25million.
