2012 Redskins Free Agency (and Trades) Tracker (Verse II)

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!

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.

I think this is the reason why London needs to be back. I feel that Riley needs another year under London to become a good QB of the defense.

On a somewhat related note, I was listening to an interview with Patrick Willis on ESPN's Football Today podcast. And I was thinking that the 49ers must have the best ILB duo in the NFL in Willis and Navarro Bowman.

Absolutely...that crew is scary good.

I think he'll be fine. I think we have a player there for the next several years.

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.

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.
