Whatever offer Fletch gets from another NFL team (unless totally absurd), the Skins should match/beat that offer.

Is it really unreasonable to give him a deal up to 3 years $20 some million?

I agree, he's a $7 million / season kind of guy

3 years 21 mill. is my max contract I'd give him.

$6M+ cap hits for 3 years?? Sounds reasonable to me.

Especially if we're willing to keep DHall and his $6.8M cap hit. :vomit:

I imagine if they find a starting CB in free agency, you'll see D. Hall become a cap casualty.

If they don't, it's because they weren't looking.

7 million a year is fine, for a Pro-Bowl MLB. Obviously you wouldn't guarantee the three years -- hard to imagine the ageless wonder playing out the contract at this level.

No, not IMHO. To those who say London is no where near Ray-Ray kinda money...try to argue the Ravens will miss Lewis more than our Skins will London? Oh...you say Lewis is surrounded by more talent? Yep, sure is...now who's more valuable to his team?

So you pay the man unless you have a plan to upgrade all the talent around London in one season if he walks?
