Lewis and Fletcher are pretty much the same player at this point in their careers.

Fletcher could get between 3/20 and (a backloaded) 3/25 on the open market. I don't think he's going to get $9 mil a year, but he probably can do better elsewhere if he's really just going to look for the biggest contract he can find.

I dunno..I'd have to say that London is a better athlete than Ray. Ray was a major Liability in coverage for his team this year. London was still good enough to cover TEs and RBs.

2 years ago Ray Lewis was like that. Now Ray Lewis isn't but another good MLB. Londons still Great.

I know the term ageless gets tossed around a lot, but London really is ageless, he still is playing the same as he did day 1 here. I still have to say he's the greatest Redskins signing of all time. Even would go as far to say he may be in the top 5 of Greatest skins of all time...

You might be right on that.

No way in hell would he get that on the open market. He'll be 37 this May. The only reason Ray is getting paid the type of salary he is is because he signed his contract back in 2009, and the fact he's been drafted and with the Ravens his whole career. He's in part of the reason why they have a Super Bowl trophy.

They need to keep London! This guy is a team player and a leader of this team. Losing him would be a HUGE loss!

Re: London Prepared to Leave (If No Deal)

Guys like London bring so many intangibles to the field. We just don't have anyone else like him to fill those shoes.

Re: London Prepared to Leave (If No Deal)

i'd like to keep him, but no one is irreplaceable. for as good as some people like to think he is, it didn't translate in the W-L column.

I wouldn't go above 3/20.

Bruce Allen is smart. He'll get a deal in place for Fletcher before the free agency period begins. Mike Shanahan has already mentioned that re-signing Fletcher is a priority.
