Good Ridance. Some true Redskin! As much as he talked team, He always seemed to make statements at just the wrong time to disrupt things. All he really cared about was the money. Don't wine about him being gone. We'll be better without him. Let him get burned on the Gaints.
Some people have not matured to the point where they can respectfully disagree with an individual's opinion and not want to personally attack that individual. I think we all have a right to speak truthfully about Lavar's tenure here whether it's in flourishing terms or not. I encourage all who have an opinion about Lavar to tell it the way you see it. Because I have certainly lost all respect for him and his trust in a greedy, incompetent agent who almost wathced his client be overlooked in free agency due to the unrealistic money he thought Lavar was worth. Lavar didn't understand GW's plan when he played for us, so what makes some people think he will understand Al Saunders plays?

I'm not hating on Arrington. I wish him the best and would even like to see him be as good as the hype surrounding him says he should be...except when he plays us...then I hope he is old, slow and clueless.
IMO he was never as good as his Press clippings. He wa good but he was supposed to be great. He put forth great effort when he was on the field and I respect him for that. His outbursts and drama became tiresome, he didn't want to be here any longer and he didn't fit Joe Gibbs mold for some reason. Gibbs is a winner, always has been so if he says Arrington didn't fit here anymore that is good enough for me.
Lavar, thanks for the memories, the great hits and the entertaining interviews. Thanks for the hopes and dreams you inspired(but only seldom lived up to...honestly) that kept us going through the leaner years. Times are better now. We've got something bigger than Arrington and it's called WINNING...I wish him luck. I wont look back...no need to.

I hope Eli keeps throwing to Toomer so the Grim Reaper can abuse him some more.

Kudos to LA for soaking the Giants for $49 mil. I hope the Postons worked his contract so he gets paid whether he's on the field, on the sidelines, or on a hospital bed. I like Lavar and thought he was a good teammate while he was here. He had issues with the management, but considering the circumstances, I really couldn't blame him. Time to move on. I do think he'd be way overpaid if he gets every penny of that contract, but I don't see that happening either. As an aside, I would be curious to see if Troy Aikman starts hating on the Giants now that LA is there.
LOL

For a QB his age he's not too shabby. In fact I think he's a better runner than Manning, and he's nearly twice his age.
He had a few critical runs for first downs last year.

We don't win the first Dallas game if Brunell doesn't scramble for about 25 yards on 3rd and a mile.

The contract is highly detailed and jam-packed with incentives. The only accuracy to the reported seven-year, $49 million contract figure is that it indeed is a seven-year deal. Arrington's signing bonus is $5.25 million; there are no option bonuses. There are roster bonuses in future years but they can only be triggered if Arrington achieves certain honors such as Pro Bowls and MVP awards.
There are playing-time incentives in the deal, protecting the Giants in case Arrington's right knee does not hold up. It is the very definition of a make-good deal, giving Arrington the opportunity to get paid like a star only if he plays like one. The only way he can approach earning $49 million is if he hits every single incentive during the life of the contract. Without factoring in any incentives, the contract is worth about $3.7 million per year and rises to $5 million per year if he hits the more reasonable incentives.
His contract is kinda like him as a player.
Sounds great on paper, doesn't live up to the hype.
