London Prepared to Leave (If No Deal)

i'd like to keep him, but no one is irreplaceable. for as good as some people like to think he is, it didn't translate in the W-L column.

I wouldn't go above 3/20.

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.


No way in hell would he get that on the open market. He'll be 37 this May. The only reason Ray is getting paid the type of salary he is is because he signed his contract back in 2009, and the fact he's been drafted and with the Ravens his whole career. He's in part of the reason why they have a Super Bowl trophy.

They're pretty set with Laurinaitis

Ahhh yes I remember him. Well that's probably/potentially good for us!

Is it really unreasonable to give him a deal up to 3 years $20 some million?

No, not IMHO. To those who say London is no where near Ray-Ray kinda money...try to argue the Ravens will miss Lewis more than our Skins will London? Oh...you say Lewis is surrounded by more talent? Yep, sure is...now who's more valuable to his team?

So you pay the man unless you have a plan to upgrade all the talent around London in one season if he walks?

...in straight cash, homie. Now who's for signing Randy Moss? :)

5 years 60 million 34 million guaranteed. Sign me up yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!!

...that's a lotta bills to roll up!!

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.

Are you kidding me with this 36yr old crap ? Age ain't everything, FLETCH has been lights out since day # 1. He's 36 but we aren't signing him for a 5 yr deal .. this dude is a machine - RAY LEWIS type machine ... he is ideal to help mature Riley and the rest of the D. I believe somewhere Shanny said that re-signing Fletch was the #1 priority. Bottom line .. this guy had less to do with the 5-11 record than anybody .. oh & yeah he never misses a game and gives 100%

W/out question he's been the most consistent performer on an average defense. He's been solid. Not lights out. I just get so tired of everyone saying that he can teach the younger guys, be a mentor.... blah blah blah. Give me a break. This isn't Romper Room. It's the NFL. If guys need to be motivated at this level then we have the wrong guys. I just don't see the need to keep an old LB on a bad team that's rebuilding. Let the guy go to New England or somewhere that's a contender. And if I'm the front office I'm not keeping any old guys cause it makes no sense.
