[QUOTE=PhxRedSkin] He says he wants to stay in the NFC East, Philly has room, good luck Reid. They'll get a little mini-me-T.O. in the making. [/QUOTE]

Well, we all saw how great things were with Trotter and Lavar here. That duo really doesn't scare me. He would really be best in San Diego, but I think he would also do well with the Giants or Dallas. I don't believe he wants to go to Dallas, which means we should hope he stays away from NY.

[QUOTE=TAFKAS]For the record here's what he said:

"I think just for the sake of insuring trust in the salary cap from some skeptical front offices, the league needs to make sure LaVar Arrington is really going to forego the $4 million in guaranteed money to get his freedom now. Not saying it didn't happen, but I am saying with all the money the Redskins have to spare and how convenient it was that the team could find this money after months of hand-wringing over the Arrington deal, the league needs to double check that the accounting of this is clean.

Assuming Arrington did give the money back, it's a smart move on his part to get his freedom now instead of in June or July. And I think it's a good example of cutting one's losses. The Redskins and Arrington were never going to be happy together, even though he loves the city and the people there."[/QUOTE]
King is a dumb sh*t turd. Arrington didn't give them any money back. He simply agreed to forgo the remaining payments on several bonuses. As Lavar said he "didn't write them a check". And the "hand wringing" had to do with the cap implications of inserting an after the fact 6.5 million dollar bonus. Does anyone honestly think that if Snyder could have written a check for 6.5 mil to make this go away he wouldn't have? He had no cap lattitude to make it happen.

Re: Gibbs Press Conference
 

That's seriously a retarded comment by King.

Yeah the league better get a copy of that check from LaVar to the Skins. :doh:

Matty,

I understood that it was not money he was already paid, but money he would have been due. Is that incorrect?

Re: Gibbs Press Conference
 

How anyone could compare LaVar to TO is beyond me. Did he split our locker room, did he berate our head coach, did say our QB stunk. All of the team mates are shocked that he gone, not glad hes gone. You all had better worry about him signing with a team in the NFC east, especially the eagles. Kearse, trotter, LaVar, dawkins, ect, that is pretty formitable defense. I think all you all are trying to convince yourselves that him leaving or him signing with another team is no big deal. Right our D will probably be just as good, no question. But what could he do for a Giants team, or an Eagles team. I dont know about you but it scares me a little, especially since we are all so close in terms of how good we are.

So you would rather see Lavar do well somewhere else, instead of the Redskins doing well without him?

Thats not what I said. I hope he tears up people with his new team, EXCEPT when he plays us. I like LaVar, (I dont think anyone here would dispute that LOL) as a person and football player. of course I want him to do well. I was a fan of LaVar long before he was a Redskin, it was just luck my favorite team drafted him. I would have been a LaVar fan no matter who drafted him. Now I will be a fan of LaVar no matter who signs him. That doesn't question my loyalty to the Redskins, but shows the loyalty I have for people.

Football is a team sport. If you want to be a fan of individuals, I suggest golf or NASCAR.

that is a rediculous thing to say. You never likes a player, you never wanted them to succeed. that is retarded

I'd have to agree. If you're only a fan of the Redskins logo and uniform, then you should use that as your icon instead of Santana Moss.

that's correct. its money he won't get instead of money he gave back. not a huge difference between the two though.
