Re: Skins expected to sign Fletcher

Looks like if we get him its going to cost a lot.I don't know if i want him after reading this article.

If anyone deserves a hefty raise this offseason, it's LB Fletcher
Someone is going to make a bundle in this year's free-agency, and here's hoping it's someone like London Fletcher.
London Fletcher has been his team's leading tackler the last eight seasons. (Getty Images) The Buffalo Bills linebacker is more than one of the game's high-character guys. He's one of its most productive ones, too. He led the Bills in tackles last season. He led the team in tackles the season before that. And the season before that. Heck, he led his team in tackles the past eight seasons.
First, it was St. Louis. Then, it was Buffalo. And now? Well, that's where things get interesting. Fletcher becomes an unrestricted free agent Friday, and he is supposed to be out in Buffalo -- though he said his agent continues to negotiate with the Bills -- and in at Washington? Or was that Detroit? Both are among his most rumored destinations.
"Where did that come from?" asked Fletcher, house-hunting in Charlotte when I caught up to him.
When I told him, Fletcher laughed. He insisted he doesn't know where his next stop will be, but wherever it is, he expects it to be his last. He also said he knows what he wants from his next contract, and it's what most players on the verge of leaping into free-agency want.
Some people call it financial stability. Me? I call it a reward.
Which means London Fletcher is in the right place at the right time to collect it. With the salary cap jumping to $109 million per team, there are clubs galore with the cap room and the money to spend on unrestricted free agents. All they need is someone worth paying the big bucks, and I think we just found him.
