Helu is the real deal!!!

I feel like this thread should really be more about London...how many think it's a safe assumption he'll get re-signed??

It's pretty safe at this point. It looked bad early on in the FA period before the linebacker market set. At this point, I feel comfortable saying that no one will beat the offer the Skins have on the table.

The Skins might have to raise the offer a bit to actually get him to sign, but he's not out there taking FA visits or anything.

Encouraging. So how much cash above the market price is London going to take off Danny's hands?

Who do you (all) see as the best replacement for him on the horizon? Or maybe another FA is appropriate as tribute to London as maybe the team's best FA signing in two decades!

What exactly are we doing with Phillip Buchanon?

I agree. IMO it is just a matter of time before he re-signs. He wanted to find a sweet deal elsewhere but we have the sweetest offer there is.

Helu would of rushed for well over 1,000 last year if he would of been starting from the jump. He ended with 640 rushing yards and 2 TDs in 5 starts, although he did play 15 games.

Even if the Redskins have to restructure a contract or two in order to give Fletcher a fair deal, they'll do it. He's too valuable to the team.

Idk if anyone mentioned it already.

I think he'd be a good short term solution to our safety problems. Although I'd rather see Meriweather at free rather than strong safety though.

[Ruhskins]

Good to see Madieu visiting the Skins, he'd be a nice addition.

In other news, looks like school will be starting early for RG3:

Easy to see where Shanny and Co focus has been since the move up trade, secondary. The FA signings and draftee workouts have all been focused around the Safety and CBs positions. Good to see.

Down the road, will Perry Riley be the quarterback of the defense? Or will it be whoever we eventually get to replace London?

That's the real question; is Perry Riley's leadership skills and understanding of the defense accelerating as rapidly as his physical play on the field did last season. If he's up to the task, we draft someone mid rounds for depth that may turn into the next Perry Riley. And Perry becomes the next London Fletcher.
