Re: WP: Redskins Targeting London Fletcher, Nate Clements
This is just another example for us all as to why the draft is so important. Without any picks we are forced to go out and spend more more than we should on an aging player insteading of using the draft to develope our own talent. If you make a mistake on someone in the 2nd or 3rd round it doesn't cost as much, but when you miss on a high priced free agent you end up with last years team.

Re: WP: Redskins Targeting London Fletcher, Nate Clements
Only Carl is suspended. The other (Kevin?) is still allowed to operate.

Re: WP: Redskins Targeting London Fletcher, Nate Clements
Whether fans like it or not. Clements and Fletcher are GW's Boys. Look at posey. we signed him right up when he was released. Snyder will throw godly amounts of money at these guys and Fans will be excited at first. By week 5 we'll looking forward to next year already.

Re: WP: Redskins Targeting London Fletcher, Nate Clements
I'm all for Clements and Fletcher, but Fletcher isn't a long term solution, I'd sign him to a 2 year deal or something along those lines until we can find that long term solution at MLB.

Re: WP: Redskins Targeting London Fletcher, Nate Clements
STOP THE MADNESS...The Skins need to stop overspending for mediocre free agents. London Fletcher was good 5 years ago. Dropping a ton of money on him is like signing his ex-teammate Adam Archuleta. DON'T DO IT. Clements would be a nice pickup but at what cost. At some point the Redskins need to get their finances in order and start acquiring young talent. That's done through the draft. Stop giving away draft picks like they are Christmas presents. Every off-season, the Skins make a big deal of over-spending on these so-called big named free agents and getting the Skins fans excited. And every year its been the same result - DISAPPOINTMENT.

I live in St Louis and I've seen a lot of London Fletcher. He is a solid linebacker but is near the end of his career. My statement about mediocre free agent signings has to do with the Redskins past signings, not Fletcher's worth. Fletcher is a quality guy but what is it going to cost, that's my point. If you read and comprehended my post, that's what I said. The Redskins need to stop this pattern of going after free agents year after year. I don't see the payoff.

Re: WP: Redskins Targeting London Fletcher, Nate Clements
there are 5-6 teams that refuse to deal with the postons i believe. and as was noted early, one i fighting a suspension, the other is still able to conduct business as usual.
