More than anything I think it shows that the Tannenhill talk was a complete smoke screen. It makes me wonder what the Browns will do now. Does Tannenhill now go fourth? Or do they pass on him that high and try Flynn? I think it was absolutely right to settle this before Free Agency.

It really does make some other QB needy teams feel the need to reach for a QB in the 1st round or overpay for a free agent.

We just snatched another one of the "no miss" qb's from other potential teams.

If the Fletcher deal doesn't get done are there any MLB's out there to replace him? 7 million is insane for a guy his age

Not for a guy that is tops in the league in tackles EVERY YEAR. NEVER MISSES A GAME. IS A HARDER WORKER THAN ANY OTHER PLAYER ON THE TEAM. AND, IS THE EMOTIONAL AND PHYSICAL LEADER OF OUR TEAM. Is my caps lock button broken?

Just wondering if we might make a run at Peyton Hillis? We could use a power back to complement Helu, he should be reasonably cheap after having an off year, and he had a lot of success with Shanny in Denver. Maybe he's a good alternative to bringing back Hightower.

Wasn't Hillis running his mouth this past season? I like him but he got a little too headcase-y for me. Hopefully Hightower will be healthier this season and the o-line will be better. I wasn't thrilled with him early on last season, but he was also playing behind a lackluster line. Plus with Helu and Royster, I think we're pretty stacked at RB.

If that is the case, good bye London IMO.

I don't know if you remember a few years ago when Ray Lewis was a FA and people though he was going to sign with the Jets, where did end up? Same thing here, Fletcher will end up a Redskin. They can't get rid of the QB of the defense, he will sign back.

I really hope your right. He is the only remaining upcoming FA I care about.

I wonder if the Redskins are doing the same thing, let him test the market to see what his value is.

I would like us to get either Lofton or Tulloch to replace him if he is still insisting on 8 mil per year or higher like some report. I know he is valuable, and he is one of my favorite, but 37 almost 38 years old, and getting more money than a Ray Lewis, come on man........
