A five-year, $25 million deal was enough to get London Fletcher into a Redskins uniform. He visited Washington yesterday, and took in a Wizards game last night. I suppose the 1-point victory over the Hawks was enough to convince London that Washington is the place to be.There's something magical about the Wizards' power of recruitment, I guess ... the AP article mentions that last year, Antwaan Randle-El, Andre Carter, Adam Archuleta, and Todd Collins all went to Wizards game on Washington visits, and all ended up signing with the 'Skins.
Fletcher gets a $10.5 million of Dan Snyder's money in the form of a signing bonus.
Fred Smoot also says that he's close to a deal with the Redskins. Starting corner Shawn Springs isn't expected to return to the team, and the other starting corner, Carlos Rogers, isn't expected to be very good. Smoot also took in the Wizards game, and the team also gave him a ground tour here.
