As for actual on field performance, I think his best days as a Redskin are probably behind him. But the Redskins never got a Plan B in the fold, and so even a hobbled 37-year old Fletcher saves us from the alternative and probably prevents Perry Riley from being exposed as a coverage liability a bit longer.

"Hobbled 37 year old"??
-Led NFL in tackles last year
-164 consecutive starts
-No significant injuries that I know about
What exactly does "hobbled" mean to you??
Perhaps you mean, "humbled". Feel bad that he had to be humbled by lack of interest before he came back to us. But we welcome him with open arms. He's going to decline for sure, but still better than most LBs out there. (Also, he's technically still 36 years old).
