 ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Linebacker London Fletcher agreed to a five-year, $25 million contract with the Washington Redskins on Friday, capping another busy day of free agency for one of the NFL's top-spending teams.
The agreement, which includes a $10.5 million signing bonus, came as Fletcher and cornerback Fred Smoot were treated to a Washington Wizards game, part of a courtship by a Redskins team that went 5-11 and needs to repair the worst defense in the NFC.
The Redskins were close to finalizing a deal with Smoot, who played four seasons with the Redskins before leaving in 2005 to sign with the Minnesota Vikings.
