Seems to me like just shutting up and playing is what he's trying to do with this current situation.

I guess you forgot about this earlier in the year, it's a stretch to say he handled everything with grace and didn't have anything to say about it in the media:

"The worst part of this whole situation is people start trying to tag you for your character," Arrington said. "This is football, and if you want to talk about me not playing or different things like that, that's fine. But don't attack my character. I try to be a good person. I try not to do things that won't cause trouble or anything like that and just keep it on the football thing.
"If I'm not playing, then I'm not playing, and it's something I'm sure the coaches will address. I think the thing that bothers me is that people attack my character and attack who I am as a person. Of course, life isn't fair, but I don't think that's fair at all. That's strange."

"I've put myself in the doghouse somehow," Washington Redskins linebacker LaVar Arrington has no idea why he's not playing and vehemently disagreed with defensive coordinator Gregg Williams's assertion last week that players who want to be on the field Sunday "have to do it in practice."

As for now, if he was just shutting up and playing as you say, why is he discussing his future right before a HUGE game in the papers?? Seems to me if he was just shutting up and playing, we wouldn't be discussing this right now.
Look, I love LaVar and I definitely want him here. But at the same time his repeated spouting off in the papers is whats going to get him run out of town if that does indeed happen this offseason.
