Highly underrated player his entire career. I hope he has as much success in his next career as he did playing football. I think everyone knew this was going to happen, I just wish we could've sent him off better.

Great Player, one of the best linebackers the past decade.

Not sure about Hall of Fame but definitely should be put in the Ring of Fame.

Isn't this the last home game this season? That would explain the timing. If it distracts from the other nonsense, that's a side benefit/

A great Redskin, perhaps our best ever FA acquisition. Long live London Fletcher.

skinsfan69 · 12-18-2013, 03:53 PM

I don't think Fletch is a HOFer but what a great career.

mlmpetert · 12-18-2013, 04:58 PM

Thank you London!! One of the best of all time. Definitely my favorite football player of all time.

Just doing what best for the team and putting them in front of his own self interests as always.

Yep, classy as always, plus its Dallas week perfect timing!!!!!! HTTR Fletcher

I wonder honestly if he would have came back for one more year if we hadn't have shit the bed this year. I kind of wonder if he felt like Barry Sanders, where he knew he could physically play but all the drama and BS just took it out of him....

100% class.

Hope he has a long and enjoyable retirement.

Hail to London Fletcher!

Won't be long before he's on TV somewhere.

Could see him rotating into CSN for the Redskins pre-game and post-game a la Shawn Springs.

I think he'll go straight to a national outlet.
