Pete Prisco of CBS Sports set about matching all 32 teams with their best fit free agent. For the Eagles, he's got Redskins LB London Fletcher.

The Eagles had big problems at middle linebacker and Fletcher is coming off one of his best seasons. He is 37, so the contract would have to be team friendly. For a few years, it would make sense.

We've talked about Fletcher before. The obvious drawback is that he's about to turn 37, but at the same time he's still playing at a high level. He's one of those guys that's probably looking to go somewhere he thinks he'd have a shot at a title in the next year or two.. Is that here?

Interestingly enough, he eliminated DeSean Jackson from the exercise because he's " pretty much assured of getting the franchise tag."
