I think that's a reasonable estimate given the record amount of cap space and the lack of quality free agents. I don't care what his overall compensation is, I care how the deal is structured and, more importantly, how much bonus money he'll get.

Yeah it is in some other thread. But anyway, $6 mil/year can be interpreted so many ways. It could mean a heavily backloaded contract-the last year of which Fletch (6'5"...6'9" with the afro) will never see. Yet the total inclusive contract averages out to $6 million/year

Regardless if 6m is a good number or not. As SGG says, the contract numbers should be TOTALLY shocking this year because of the the new salary cap ceiling and the extra $$$ teams will have. This is not a secret to the players and agents

it just seems like its too close to what Thomas wants

This would be an incredible signing.

I know it's irrelevent, but Fletcher was INCREDIBLE in fastasy football last year.

He's probably been their MVP on defense for the past several years (it's probably a close call between Fletcher and Spikes).

Don't you think if he's that valuable they'll find the money? And if Fletcher hates it in Buffalo to the point that no amount of money will satisfy him, would he come here for less?

buffalo has the cheapest tickets and don't make nearly the kind of revenue that the skins do. so they don't insist on spending up to the cap every year.

Their front office is also one of the few that makes our's look competent.

FLETCHER DEAL NOT DONE?

Although there are rampant rumors that the Washington Redskins have reached a deal with Bills middle linebacker London Fletcher, a source close to Fletcher says that a final decision has not been made.

The Redskins, Patriots, Lions, and Bills are interested in Fletcher, and the source says that the Bills currently are the favorites to land London, with the Redskins at No.2 on the list.

Ideally, however, the Bills should have the exclusive ability to negotiate with Fletcher until Friday. But that's simply not how it works in the NFL anymore; virtually every team violates the prohibition on tampering when the time comes to talk to pending free agents. Indeed, we're not aware of a single team that doesn't get an early start on chatting with players who technically are the property of others.

Is Fletcher coming to DC?
