London Fletcher re-signs with Redskins

Really? I heard it was 2 years 20 mil 15 mil guaranteed. Where'd you get those numbers from?


Way too much! If those numbers are correct the skins have hog tied themselves, and will have to cut Cooley and others to make cap room. They don't even have the rookie pool available if that's the case.

Forget Fletcher's age. I'm glad he got the kind of deal that he was hoping for.

1. No thanks. he's 36/37, that's old and makes big money a much bigger risk.

2. I'm not. If those numbers are right that's too much. I'm a fan of the team first.

Note to self: humor does not translate well over the Internet.

Is there a more dependable middle linebacker in the NFL than London Fletcher? Emphatically no. The guy shows up every day, every week and puts in work. Bottom line, our defense is much better with Fletcher than it is without him.

Secondly, we need to get over the "did we overpay" crap. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. This is the NFL, not Dairy Queen. I distinctly remember years ago, some of you on this board were bitching and moaning, and rightfully so, when the 'Skins would let guys like Antonio Pierce and Ryan Clark walk. Now the organization displays some actual loyalty, keep one of our own and ante up at the same time, some folks still ain't happy.

It's the weekend & Fletch re-signed, let's have a drink to celebrate!

Serious question for those that think we overpaid. Someone please explain to me, what's "too much" for a player Fletcher's caliber on and off the field? And how do you quantify the value of said replacement at the same position and his impact on the team?

I agree, we're paying for more than his on-field performance too. He is a key leader & mgmt. needs to show that it will reward players that go above & beyond the call of duty. Fletcher has always done that. This signing is about more than simple 'production' that shows up in stats. Shanny needs LF to continue to instill his values & work ethic on the team.

It's nice to be able to say that a guy deserves his contract. London Fletcher definitely deserved to get this deal & hopefully will end his career in B&G.

I don't think a majority of my posts are negative at all.

If you're tired of reading my posts, don't comment on them. Look, there's a number of posters on here I don't bother to respond to. There's only so many ways you can put "I disagree" in a post. If I'm not interested, I just skip over when I see the username.

If calling something a "critical signing" comes off as overly negative to someone, then I don't have the time for them.

It wasnt that part of the post that I was saying was negative. I agree 100%. It was the latter, which I rather have plan A than plan B. Id like to think Riley can improve in coverage and I like to think Fletcher is not hobbled and still can produce. U just stated the worse case possible of Riley play and Fletch not being able to produce, which again are possible. I dont know so much if they are probable. Lets hope not, right?

Some of you guys need to shut up!

Hasn't he lead the league in tackles the past 3 years?
