I ran out and ordered a custom made No. 56 "LaVar" jersey. I then got another "Arrington" No. 56 as a gift. Total cost, probably close to $150. Now Im down to my 2 Darrell Greens and my Riggins. That's it, done, never ever ever again! I don't care if Walter Payton returns from the dead, plays for the Skins, and runs for 2,000 yards in 3 consecutive seasons, I will never, ever acquire Redskin merchandise for any new era player again. Yep, next purchase will be a Gary Clark No. 84, a Monk No. 81, maybe a Dave Butz. Im broke, and Im pissed.

Part of this is Arrington's fault. He made the contract discrepancy a public issue. He also did not live up to the expectations of a 70 million dollar deal.
I liked Lavar and I wished he had been able to stay but if they can find another Marcus Washington or fill another need by letting him go, the team is better off.
Gibbs is doing exactly what he set out to do by coming back. Look how close the team is now. All of the current players (excluding Lavar) agreed to restructure their deals to help the team. You cannot ask for a better core group of guys.
