London Fletcher Returning To Washington Next Season?

 

Washington Redskins LB London Fletcher is enjoying being a part of the Pro Bowl after another solid season for the 36year old veteran. Fletcher will be a free agent in the coming weeks but he says that his โ€œfirst choiceโ€ is to re-sign with the Redskins, โ€œif they want me,โ€ via Redskins.com.

Itโ€™s rare to see a middle linebacker continue to play as well as Fletcher has despite being as old as he is. Fletcherโ€™s played in 224 consecutive games and has never missed a game in his NFL career. The guy leads the Redskins in tackles every year and this season he actually led the NFL in total tackles but was still a late addition to the Pro Bowl.

Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan seems open to re-signing him despite the fact that heโ€™ll be 37 next year.

โ€œHe is playing at a very high level,โ€ coach Mike Shanahan said. โ€œWhat I mean is you want him on your football teamYou want him out there as much as you can have him out there. And you canโ€™t say that about a lot of players as they get older.โ€

Fletcher will draw interest from NFL teams despite his age but figures to return to the Redskins next season.
