If you had to make a choice, $8 million a year for a 36 year old MLB who's been a rock for this team on an off the field for the past several years but probably wouldn't see the end of his contract or $11 million a year for a 29 year old WR who's arguably the best on the market but is one suspension away from being out for a year...which would you choose?
Fletch...the leadership is invaluable...and we can find a WR somewhere else. I think our new QB is going to make our WRs look better.

I just hope they sign Fletcher to keep this guy straight if we do indeed sign him.

Not totally convinced on VJax anyways. Lots of drama there. He fits the mold of the kind of guy we bring in that totally busts out with character issues. Great talent but could we count on seeing that talent used to its full extent here? I'm pretty dubious.

Fletcher, assuming that, for all intents and purposes, nothing was garaunted after next year (meaning we could realease him in 2014 without taking a hit). Given we have 18MM less in cap space that we did yesterday, Jacksons got too many red flags for that kind of investment.

You sign Fletcher and then Josh Morgan.

Defensewins mentioned a few weeks ago that we made an offer to Jacoby Jones last off-season, and he may be available again this year. Wonder if they'll make an offer

We're signing him for the Dallas games to fight with Dez Bryant and get him tossed from the game.
Hey, I bet he could get DeSean Jackson tossed too. :D
Fletcher HAS to be a priority.

I'd love that signing. He's fast, can return kicks and played under Kyle already.

I wouldn't mind this. Sounds like we're not going to have enough room to go after V.Jax and Fletch, so I wouldn't mind taking a younger guy at wideout and giving him a shot. I think RG3 is the kind of player that makes everyone around him better.

Time to let Fletch walk if we don't have the money. Love the guy, but it's time to say goodbye to players before that last contract. We are notorious for holding on to players for far too long. If it's a good deal for the Redskins, and we can get out of it easily -- great. Otherwise, have to let him go.
