Salary Cap Analysis

If Arrington will restructure to save cap room, I'm fine with keeping him. But I still wouldn't want him playing on 3rd downs until he gets up to speed a bit more on the defense.

Up to speed? The guy has had over 2 years to learn the D. If he doesn't know it by now I wouldn't expect him to know it ever. I think his lack of explosiveness due to the knee kept him off the field on third downs mostly. He seems to me to fit perfectly into what Williams likes to do. Bring pressure from everywhere. If he comes off on 3rd when you want to bring pressure then that says something about his ability to bring said pressure. I am hoping it is temporary and he'll be back better next year. He can still play I am sure of it. He didn't become a terrible football player all of a audden and I sat and watched Gregg Williams compliment him about how fun he is coach when he is at the top of his game. Williams will keep him if Lavar has sufficiently bought into everything.
