Teams cut players to benifit themselves as far as money goes, so why do people get so pissed off when a player accepts a better deal financially. Especially when they are 28 to 29 years old and its probably the last pay day they are going to get. At least the last one of any significance. Its a business. I was pissed when they let him go, when they didn't come to an agreement as to what was fair for him and for the team. But, this is what happens in todays NFL. You cant expect a guy to accept 4 million a year, when they can get 7 or 8 million. None of us would. that would be the most rediculous thing ever. There were things like playing time that played a role in him leaving as well. He knew he probably wasn't going to play as much as he felt he should. Other teams were telling him he was an everydown player. As a professional athelete you want to compete every single play. He know his relationship with Danny, and the staff was straighned to say the least. Why are professional athletes considered unloyal or pieces of shit if they leave. Tell me that if your company was low balling you by 100k and another company was willing to pay you what you felt you were worth, are you going to stay. I think NOT! Money is the mover, motivator, the talker for everything and everyone. Cant we just forget about the crap and start thinking of who is going to be playing there instead of the person that used to play there. so he put it behind him, doesn't everyone.
The problem is that no one buys season tickets to watch Lavar Arrington. You buy tickets to cheer the franchise. How much f-ing money did Lavar make for the last two years in which he didn't do sh!t except beat up on San Francisco and let Frank Gore run 80 yards. Why can't he shut his mouth?

Lavar's legacy is that he talks a big game and looks the part of a superstar. At the end of the day he is a loser. Greg Williams has no place for losers on that defense.
