Around the NFL: 2012 Off-Season-Free Agency/Trades

[REDSKINS4ever]

If London Fletcher and the Redskins don't come to terms by the 13th of March, then what? Who would the Redskins have in mind to replace him? Fletcher will receive some offers around the NFL I'm sure. Besides veterans playing ILB, the most prominent name I can think of to replace Fletcher on our defense would be Bart Scott. Unless Fletcher's pending replacement is already on the roster, I'm not sure how effective a draft pick would be. I heard that the Dallas Cowboys plan to part ways with Keith Brooking, but Brooking is not as good as Fletcher or Scott in playing inside linebacker.

Stephen Tulloch is a possibility

While Stephen Tulloch isn't bad, wouldn't you prefer Bruce Allen to go after someone who has played in the 3-4 scheme before? Even if it's a collegiate player like Donta Hightower, who in my opinion is the most complete linebacker entering the draft this year. Tulloch would be another McIntosh, a nice linebacker but one who just isn't fit for what Haslett wants.
