Washington Redskins linebacker London Fletcher is scheduled to hit the free agent market this offseason and he’s indicated that he prefers to remain in the nations capital.
“I like playing here,” Fletcher said at the end of last season. “When I came here, I wanted to help establish a tradition of winning, get this franchise back to the Redskins of old. Obviously the business aspect [of free agency] has to be worked out and you go from there. But my first choice is to stay in Washington, if they want me.”
The 36 year-old Fletcher has played in 224 consecutive games, which is amazing for an NFL player.
Fletcher is the heart and soul of the Redskins defense and as they rebuild it’s important for them to keep him around to help their young players develop.

January 26, 2012
Last week we graded out the 2011 Washington Redskins Wide Receivers, which you can view here. The position needs one of those “Extreme Makeovers.” The offense is in total “retooling mode” (we as an organization don’t use that other word), and next to Quarterback, the receiver position is a major need.
