$6M+ cap hits for 3 years?? Sounds reasonable to me.
Especially if we're willing to keep DHall and his $6.8M cap hit. :vomit:
I imagine if they find a starting CB in free agency, you'll see D. Hall become a cap casualty.

A few tweets from a ES insider.
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.Lewis and Fletcher are pretty much the same player at this point in their careers.
Fletcher could get between 3/20 and (a backloaded) 3/25 on the open market. I don't think he's going to get $9 mil a year, but he probably can do better elsewhere if he's really just going to look for the biggest contract he can find.

I dunno..I'd have to say that London is a better athlete than Ray. Ray was a major Liability in coverage for his team this year. London was still good enough to cover TEs and RBs.
2 years ago Ray Lewis was like that. Now Ray Lewis isn't but another good MLB. Londons still Great.
I know the term ageless gets tossed around a lot, but London really is ageless, he still is playing the same as he did day 1 here. I still have to say he's the greatest Redskins signing of all time. Even would go as far to say he may be in the top 5 of Greatest skins of all time...

He retires a Redskin..........

Is it really unreasonable to give him a deal up to 3 years $20 some million?
7 million a year is fine, for a Pro-Bowl MLB. Obviously you wouldn't guarantee the three years -- hard to imagine the ageless wonder playing out the contract at this level.

They need to keep London! This guy is a team player and a leader of this team. Losing him would be a HUGE loss!

Guys like London bring so many intangibles to the field. We just don't have anyone else like him to fill those shoes.
