I dont know? I think he still has game - im not so much saying he looks like crap or he has lost a step really. Im just looking at the clock and realizing that like i said , all good things come to an end and we need to start grooming another ilb real soon.

Thats exactly my point. We shoudl be grooming a young ILB to place Fletcher at whatever point he/coaches decide he cant start anymore. Unless we dont plan on Fletcher being our starter next year, we shouldnt sign a pricey free agent ILB. It just doesnt make financial sense given our cap situation. Now, if Fletcher retires after this season or the coaches dont think he can start in 2013, then by all means, cut fletcher and spend the money on a free agent (if we have it). Just dont spend big bucks on Fletcher AND another ILB at the same time.
