I agree. I know I'm in the minority on this but for the overall money picture I'd cut Fletcher and re-sign Alexander to a multi year deal. Alexander is a 'glue' guy that good teams keep around.

Love Fletcher, but 38, he's got one year left, last year he had a great 2nd half but the first half he looked old, slow, missed tackles and got destroyed by TE. If we didn't have the cap issue, I'd be 100% on bringing him back. But since we do, I'd rather see us go with Robinson/Riley at ILB with LoAx and another mid level backup. No need to part with quality depth/ST ace long term vs. a farewell tour for Fletch.

Not surprised about Hall. Was never a big fan but he did play pretty well down the stretch last season.

[The Goat]

I hope we re-sign Hall. It's not very often a guy says he wants to stay on with his team and openly says he'll take a pay cut to do so. Hall is a baller and the more I reflect on the season I like his fiesty ways. Our defense can be flat, lackluster in long stretches outside of London's tremendous effort/focus and Hall's edge.

Imagine this 4:30 presser with MS and BA together:

At 4pm, Mr Mara and Mr Goodell, along with the other owners in the NFL, were served with an injunction on all actions related to the blatant extortionary tactics, and we intend to disregard the 18M salary cap penalty. If any FA acquisition that we try to make is denied on grounds of the salary cap penalty, we will immediately file the appropriate legal briefs regarding unfair constraint of trade acts.

Thank you and have a good day.

ok, I probably got all the legal terms wrong, and it probably won't go down like that, but I would just like to hear the words "Mr Mara was served", If that's bad, then sue me :cheeky-sm

Per JasonLaCanfora: In addition to releasing CB DeAngelo Hall, as expected, Skins also highly likely to release Santana Moss and Adam Carriker. Need cap space

I would love a :45 second press conference along those lines as well..

Mr. Mara, Mr. Goodell, you screwed us in 2012 with $18 million in cap penalties and we kicked your ass. You're screwing us again and we'll kick it once more. RG3 bitches. (drops mic-walks off)

ugh, just dont want to see Moss go at all, he was huge for us in his new role last season

Fletch fought through what is said to be an excrutiatingly painful injury last season, and certainly it lowered his game early on. But don't discount the scheme adjustment we saw in the 2nd half of the season that kept Fletch in position and maximized his skill-set. The word was Haslett gave Fletch a bigger role in scheming.

Fletch had the foot/angle surgically fixed and he's gearing up for one last hurrah. He's the QB of the defense and arguably more important to the defenses success than any player or coach. We'd be ****ing insane to let him walk away (sorry for the f bomb but it's deserved here imo). Give us one more year to (hopefully) groom a guy or bring in a great FA.

But like matty said, looks like London will be back and for a reasonable sum. Bottom line: those dollars literally couldn't be used better on another player in 2013.

It's about ****ing time!! Thank god!!

[The Goat]

Gdamnit I hate to see Moss go. Lame.

Maybe we'll re-sign to a more cap-friendly deal. He deserves that opportunity.

[Evilgrin]

Its not about Hall personally, its about not overpaying, and creating bad contracts.

[Chico23231]

Thanks for the years of service Moss and D Hall...both were favorites of mine at one point in time. Its time to move on.

[Evilgrin]

Ugh we aren't very good at FA:
Y! SPORTS

[tc2deuce]

Thanks a lot Mara!!!!!
