Just so I'm clear.......you have a problem with a guy that actually gave the skins back $4 million? If he wanted to be a real a$$ about it, he would have made the skins cut him and take the cap hit. Instead he chose to leave like a professional and start anew somewhere else, without ANY harm coming to the Redskins. And you want to hate him for it? Do you even bother thinking any of these things through before you post? I mean, do you ever bother to sit back and actually try to use ration or reason?

And who really turned his back on who here? Lavar stuck with this team through its darkest days. He was an outstading citizen for the D.C. area. He showed nothing but love to the fans. He never threatened to test free agency. He never demanded a trade. He dealt with a revolving door of coaches and coordinators through the most crucial time in his career for developing into an NFL player...............And last year he was benched. He was second sting for a number of games and wasn't allowed to be an every-down player. Now I'm not going to rehash the wisdom of the coaches' decisions in that regard. That's not the point of this post. But from his perspective, who really turned their back on who here? Should we expect him to stay on a team that doesn't really appreciate or want him? Should we expect him to want to continue his career being allowed to play 70% of all downs or occasionally being benched? Why would or should we expect that of him? Or perhaps, just maybe, what happened here is that both sides realized that the current coaching staff and Lavar just don't fit with each other anymore. Doesn't matter whose fault that is, they just didn't fit. And so the professional thing to do, if you really love a team, is to leave, start somewhere else fresh, and make as few waves as possible in the process. Why you want to crucify a guy who voluteered to improve the Skins' cap situation on the way out is simply beyond me. Of course, blind hatred makes people say some pretty stupid shit, doesn't it?
