Well if someone was here they probably say we are forgetting someone when it comes to Fletch's replacement

I'll pick up the slack on this one. Despite Keenan Robinson's season ending injury, I think if Fletch retires he will be the next man up. He looked good in limited action last year.

re: London Fletcher leaning towards playing in 2013 (updated)

Well, either one of three things are going to happen.

1) He'll retire

2) We'll force him to retire when we cut him after refusing to reduce his salary

3) He'll take a huge pay cut, and he plays one more season.


No two ways about it, Fletcher drew no interest on the open market last off-season. None. We aren't going to keep him at his current salary so he'll either have to take a huge pay cut or retire. It really is that simple. Truthfully, I don't even know if they'll keep him even if he does take a pay cut.

If London Fletcher Walks Away, He Has to Be Considered a Hall of Famer | Bleacher Report

I'll read things on Bleacher I don't agree with one bit, and I'll read some things on Bleacher I completely agree with. This is something I completely agree with.

He'll be another Art Monk I bet. Because he wasn't loud and obnoxious on the field, he won't get the same treatment as say someone like, oh, Ray Lewis?

With Fletch it will have more to do with the fact that he played for mediocre teams (Bills/Redskins) rather than being "quiet".

I will say that looking at Fletch in the NFL Network last week, I can see him becoming a sports talking head after he retires.

Art Monk wasnt held out of the HOF because of not being loud and obnoxious. Art was held out of the HOF because when the media told him to dance, he laughed in their faces and told them to jump off a bridge. Take a wild stab at who votes for the HOF, the idiots that we call the media.

Art Monk was held out of the HOF for no other reason than the media proving that they dont take the HOF seriously. That the media considers kissing up to the media more important than actually succeeding at the sport you played to be considered for the HOF. One of the reasons I have absolutely zero respect for any of the major sports HOF's.

They gotta let Zo walk if the money gets stupid, he is a good backup. He should get a raise. If Danny Smith convinces the Steelers to make a silly offer, we move on. I really doubt he gets much free agent interest though.

LB core is one area I'm not worried about.

Even with these reports I feel like he will be back. I can't see him getting a little taste of what use to be & then giving up on another season. I think it's all smoke & mirrors.

I think Fletch should retire. He had a solid year but he can no longer cover TE's. Better to go out at the right time or a year early, then a year too late.

Absolutely, he has to suck right? They said so on the internet. You can't put it on the internet if it isn't true.
