Fletcher didn't fly sideline-to-sideline, picking off passes, and making a ton of sacks. I think he averaged ~2 sacks a season. It's not about sacks. Just like it's not about the QUANTITY of tackles, but rather the QUALITY of tackles. We ran Poz out of town for the same exact reason. Sure, Poz and PB made a lot of tackles, but they were all 5-8yds into the defensive backfield. Fletcher would at least step into the line and stuff plays for only 1-2 yards. Stats dont give the entire story when it comes to ILB/MLB tackles. Soft, slow, and stupid. Good riddance.

They must feel pretty good about getting their MLB in free agency or the draft, one who fits McD's defense better. Or they just didnt have much much interest in bringing Brown back.

Here's FL linebacker salaries just for comparison - https://overthecap.com/position/linebacker/ Your link has OLB salaries included, which are also paid like DEs (Miller, Houston, etc). Look at salaries for specifically ILB/MLBs: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/inside-linebacker/ I'd say Brown is worth exactly $4M/yr, maybe less, but definitely no more.
