FA London Fletcher -- a no-brainer?
I would be really shocked if the Pats let an opportunity to sign London Fletcher get away from them.
From the Rams in 2000-2001, and then the Bills through 2006-2007, Belichick has been gameplanning against this guy for nearly half his head coaching career. Fletcher's personal successes against the Patriots can only be seen as a testament to the guy's smarts and abilities. Fletcher is 37 now, but am I crazy to think that Belichick looks at Fletcher like he did at Harrison and Seau? |

The Patriots have their starting ILBs. What they need are OLBs and backups.

I seriously doubt this will happen.

He said he's willing to leave the Redskins if the money isn't right. If the Skins aren't offering him enough to be their starter, then the Pats definitely aren't going to offer him enough to be a backup.

Why would the Pats go after a player who, with a defense that can barely cover receivers in the secondary, can't tackle a player until he's 8 yards down the field? Sure his tackle numbers are impressive but the guy seriously lets the RB hit the hole then decides "Oh, hey, there he is, guess I'll grab his legs." Couldn't stand him as a Bill, more power to ya if you want that debacle on your roster.

Fletcher has always been a great player at his position, and that is why I'd have loved to see the possibility of that a few yrs ago, but it never happened.
It won't happen now, as many posters have pointed out. |

If it were 5 years ago I'd be as hyped on him as I am Lloyd, but he is past that point.

Surprised at the reactions here. Yes, we've got two good ILBs, but depth never hurts, and Fletcher still plays at a very high level.
If he can be had for a reasonable contrct, it's worth looking into. He's not your run of the mill FA. He brings serious leadership skills to the table. |
