According to David Elfin of CBS Washington, Redskins LB London Fletcher will return for another season, but will undergo surgery on his ankle Wednesday morning.
Fletcher, 37, mentioned that “surgery is the first step towards prepping for next season.”
He voted to another Pro Bowl last year, but Pro Football Focus rated him as one of the worst qualifying inside-linebackers in the league.
Fletcher has a $5.5 million base salary for the 2013 season, so there’s at least some question as to whether or not that’s the best use of their money. Still, Washington could use some additional help at linebacker, considering that Lorenzo Alexander will be a free agent next week and Keenan Robinson is recovering from a torn pectoral muscle.
