Mark Maske of the Washington Post is reporting that linebacker London Fletcher is close to re-signing with the Washington Redskins.
There is hope, according to Maske, that the team could have a deal reached by as soon as Friday night, allowing him to be ready for offseason conditioning beginning on Monday.
Fletcher is a 14-year veteran of the league and has been a member of the Redskins since 2007. In 2011, he had 96 tackles along with 1.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and two interceptions. He is also a three-time Pro Bowl selection. Fletcher is also very durable, as he has still never missed a game in his career.
