I don't think a majority of my posts are negative at all.

If you're tired of reading my posts, don't comment on them. Look, there's a number of posters on here I don't bother to respond to. There's only so many ways you can put "I disagree" in a post. If I'm not interested, I just skip over when I see the username.

If calling something a "critical signing" comes off as overly negative to someone, then I don't have the time for them.

Being honest, I have noticed many of your post seem jaded and disillusioned with a lot of what the skins have done this offseason. I never noticed this in the past and, I've actually wondered what's prompted it. I'm generally lean towards the negative with the skins, but this season after the trade for the second overall pick, I've turned more optimistic. So have the majority of fans. So Tripp, what's up? Do you think we're all being foolish to get so excited about the franchises direction?

It looks like London Fletcher got the sort of deal he was looking for. If the Redskins and Fletcher were unable to come to an agreement, then sending a a draft pick to the Jets for Bart Scott would not have been a bad move to make. But fortunately it didn't come down to that. Fletcher has signed and the Redskins and Mike Shanahan accomplished one of the many things that was a goal in the offseason.

i hope $12mill is in the 3rd year that we never have to pay. that seems like a lot for a 37 year old.

Forget Fletcher's age. I'm glad he got the kind of deal that he was hoping for. The fact of the matter is I would rather have Fletcher than any of the rookie linebackers entering the draft in 12 days. Fletcher, despite being 36 years old, has not slowed down at all. No one who has watched every game for the past five seasons can say Fletcher is any different than he was when he was a rookie linebacker for the Rams. The guy is pure gold to the Redskin defense.

Really? I heard it was 2 years 20 mil 15 mil guaranteed. Where'd you get those numbers from?

Glad they signed Fletch but if that moneys correct then I think they overpaid.I dont see any other team in the league handing out that kind of money to a linebacker that old.3-5 million a yr seems more like it.
As far as Gtripp's post,Ive never viewed them as negative,just realistic.
While Fletcher has started every game,he was hurt last yr but he still made it on the field,maybe thats what Gtripp is refering to when he says hobbled.Aga catches up to you quick and its not as easy to heal from those injuries.

Way too much! If those numbers are correct the skins have hog tied themselves, and will have to cut Cooley and others to make cap room. They don't even have the rookie pool available if that's the case.

1. No thanks. he's 36/37, that's old and makes big money a much bigger risk.

2. I'm not. If those numbers are right that's too much. I'm a fan of the team first.

Note to self: humor does not translate well over the Internet.

Is there a more dependable middle linebacker in the NFL than London Fletcher? Emphatically no. The guy shows up every day, every week and puts in work. Bottom line, our defense is much better with Fletcher than it is without him.

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.
