Secondly, we need to get over the "did we overpay" crap. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. This is the NFL, not Dairy Queen. I distinctly remember years ago, some of you on this board were bitching and moaning, and rightfully so, when the 'Skins would let guys like Antonio Pierce and Ryan Clark walk. Now the organization displays some actual loyalty, keep one of our own and ante up at the same time, some folks still ain't happy.

I agree, we're paying for more than his on-field performance too. He is a key leader & mgmt. needs to show that it will reward players that go above & beyond the call of duty. Fletcher has always done that. This signing is about more than simple 'production' that shows up in stats. Shanny needs LF to continue to instill his values & work ethic on the team.

It's nice to be able to say that a guy deserves his contract. London Fletcher definitely deserved to get this deal & hopefully will end his career in B&G.
