Have you ever bought anything from ebay? That is normal. did you see how long it has until its closed. Like 18 hours. It will stay that way unitl the last hour or two. I get my skins tickets from ebay for everygame and trust me they start out at face value and for the first day or two nothing changes, then when it gets closer to game day, they go up like crazy. These are people trying to make a buck. they are dealers of the jerseys, they probably have a ton of them. And they aren't authentic, they are knock offs. Trust me, you could hold one up to a real authentic and couldn't tell the difference. I have a friend in the memrobelia business.

Last time we will ever hear lavar talk for so long(maybe at his HOF induction but i think he will talk for like 30 minutes today). JT show starting at 4:00PM. One thing for sure... this is going to be very awkward...

I guess this will be their last interview(JT and Lavar) that is sad. Really this is going to be awkward.

Re: Lavar Gone
 

i jst bought the REAL authentic arrington jersey the ones with the tight sleeves tha teh players wear....this blows

Re: Lavar Gone
 

no seriously this is going to be sickening to listen too. I don't know what JT will say but I love you man. Lavar is done after this interview. really really wierd...

Re: Lavar Gone
 

Maybe now we'll start to see more love heading Marcus Washington's way. Since his first game here, all MW does week in and week out is put up at the very least, THE VERY LEAST (sorry for yelling) a solid, for the most part mistake-free performance. And then there are days where he simply dominates.

But I guess because he's not out there on talk shows, or singing commercial jingles he-in my opinion-is seriously overlooked nationwide, even by Redskins fans.

Here's to you Marcus Washington

Re: Lavar Gone
 

They are playing bad to bone in the background coupled with audio of great lavar plays…

They called him there personal favorite. The said old number 56- lavar opened by laughing and saying actually old 56 now…
"We came to that agreement. We came to the best choice that business wise, economic wise this was the best way. The best way was this for the skins to get under the cap. Others have an opportunity to stay here. I took that sacrifice"(you can hear his baby crying in the background)

"Deal was not done in malice or in hate"

"It ended on a sour note though. I had the opportunity to play in this great city. I am fond of the fans and it is an awesome experience. It is beneficial for both sides to cut their losses."

[size=2]“Cba deal didn’t seem to be taken into consideration.”

“I felt in the beginning it would work out”

“we highlighted a pretty rocky season with a great ending”

“ the redskins are building something”

“In the nfl, or in any sport… a lot of times, in my career its been like a game of Russian roulette. When you pull it six times you are going to lose once. I had a lot of coaches” “ the trigger was pulled finally with this coaching staff” “ I felt accepted by the other coaches but from day one I didn’t”

“[size=2]
“all I have ever tried to do is fit in coach, and do what was best for my teammates and coaches” “ a lot was said about me not fitting into a system”

“ I did try to do everything to help the redskins, I always have, and even this last decision I did it to help the redskins.” “ I wanted the fans to be in position to cheer for a winner:”

“ I thought I fit in well in the system”

“ I didn’t have a swagger about my these past few years”

“ I can’t say I was ever with Dale Lindsey and he was never fully with me” “It happens”

“ I am going to pray” “ I have been going to church” “I want to get the opportunity to get to know who I will work for before I go there”

“ Do right by me, I’ll do right by you” “ I am a stand up guy”

When did you know this decision had to be made--

“ I didn’t know if the CBA would be done. I heard that I would be cut in june. I didn’t know where it left me. When the deal started stalling out and a lot of things had to be done in desperation”

“It wasn’t something we expected” “ I relized two days ago that the deal wouldn’t get done and something drastic had to happen[size=2]

Who initiated this---??

“they they they had to come to me and restructure of some sort or it would be a lot of cap casuality”: “I wouldn’t hurt the skins” “No malice” “ no personal vendettas” “Its business”

[b]“it did not take money out of my bank account to be free. It was a bonus owed to me in a latter year. I didn’t take money out the bank for them to release me”[/b]

How hard is it to leave Washington.

“ my heart will always be here. My home will always be here till I retire or even after. I am still going to be in the communities. I am going to be in the united way with the Washington branch. I am a Washingtonian that just is a free agent”

"i am not done. I am 27. I am young and that is good for a high profile person comming into Free agency"

[size=2]“Everything that has happened it just seems like everything will be ready for a comeback”

Are you a wounded bear??

“wounded bears are dangerous. I am physically healed up. Emotionally. Its tough. I have been a free agent. I have tried to help. I hope it is viewed that way when the smoke clears. Redskins fans cheer for the skins. Lavar fans cheer for my new team. Not for lavar, my new team”--SHUT THE **** UP!!

Re: Lavar Gone
 

“As a whole I am in a better place as a person”

Problems with dale Lindsey and marvin lewis comments on he being uncoachable
“that is inaccurate and that was rhetoric(??)” “Those were Rhetorical devices that were used for some reason” “That’s the media” “we’re human we all make mistakes”.

“ people that know me know that I go above and beyond the call of duty INCLUDING DALE LINDSEY” “regardless of our personal relationship he has to agree for that”

“I am still with Professional Sports planning(poston dumbasses)” “I am still represented by them”

Lavar there is a weird irony about that because the changes happened because of the 6.5 million because of the Poston’s
“Don’t you think that is ironic” “ I mad this clear” “this sabotaged my relationship” “they comeback to me and ask to restructure that same contract”

“we sat down and made a critical decision”

Who was part of the negotiation
“I was by myself” “ I didn’t go to redskins park” “ I talked to gibbs once at my home” “so many details I won’t go into it” “ I included my teammates in the discusions but you can ask them” “my teammates were talking to management” “ you can ask them if The ever talk to you but I wouldn’t put them in the light”

“I lowered the cap for the skins so they could lower the cap or sign some people”

“The way the contracts were structured [cutting me june first] was not possible”

“I’ll be around call me for some guest stuff”

“take care guys”

Re: Lavar Gone
 

He can go where he will. This was the only thing to do. The fact that the Redskins got cap relief out of it is a major coup. I've been rough on L.A., but he had his moments. Godspeed Lavar Arrington and Thank You.

Re: Lavar Gone
 

i for one would be pissed if he went to philly. Don't expect a warm welcome from me. That would be embarassing.

Re: Lavar Gone
 

If he goes to NY, he can forget about wearing #56. That 'aint gone fly up dare!

Re: Lavar Gone
 

[QUOTE=RedskinPete]The question can you get a player of your roster,free agent or draft a linebacker to do these same things at a lower price then LA was getting? The second question should a line backer command that much of your Cap?[/QUOTE]

yes, shawn merriman is currently cheaper than lavar would be. urlacher's current deal is relatively cheap. I'm not really sure a 12mill a year linebacker is the best use of cap... it really depends on the price/production though compared to alternate monetary allocations.

[QUOTE=12thMan]If he goes to NY, he can forget about wearing #56. That 'aint gone fly up dare![/QUOTE]

I have a strong feeling he wants money that NY won't part with for him. Coughlin won't be interested in taking on his bad knee either.

Re: Lavar Gone
 

I told you guys that lavar was a LITTLE BITCH....I'm glad he's gone...not worth the trouble. Glad i didn't get his shirt.

Re: Lavar Gone
 

i'm glad lavar is gone

he was just killing our cap and he wasnt that good anyway

Re: Lavar Gone
 

if he were healthy it would have been a bit different. An injured LB at 12mill that' a bit media whiny and such though is a harder sell...

Re: Lavar Gone
 

If anyone comes across an interview with Lavar please post it. I'm interested to see what kind of bs he tells the media now regarding his decision.

I see. Thanks

Re: Lavar Gone
 

I don't care about the money, the difficult relationships or any of that other stuff that was going on. All I know is that Lavar belongs in Washington. The dude is a Redskin through and through. Seeing him wear ANY other uniform will just leave an empty feeling. Sort of like when Art Monk left and went to the Jets and then a year in Philly. It just didn't feel right.

Re: Lavar Gone
 

No big surprise here, sucks to see him go but we needed the cap room and Williams proved that he didn't need him to have a dominating D.

Re: Lavar Gone
 

“it did not take money out of my bank account to be free. It was a bonus owed to me in a latter year. I didn’t take money out the bank for them to release me”

this is the thing that should worry you if he actually didn't gave back part of the bonus the NFL won't approve the cap relief.

peter King "I think just for the sake of insuring trust in the salary cap from some skeptical front offices, the league needs to make sure LaVar Arrington is really going to forego the $4 million in guaranteed money to get his freedom now. Not saying it didn't happen, but I am saying with all the money the Redskins have to spare and how convenient it was that the team could find this money after months of hand-wringing over the Arrington deal, the league needs to double check that the accounting of this is clean.

Assuming Arrington did give the money back, it's a smart move on his part to get his freedom now instead of in June or July. And I think it's a good example of cutting one's losses. The Redskins and Arrington were never going to be happy together, even though he loves the city and the people there."

Re: Lavar Gone
 

Does anyone else find the description of the Lavar transaction as him "buying his freedom" a poor choice of phrasing? I'm not the politically correct type but it kind of jumps out at me. Maybe I'm off base but the media is usually so quick to jump on people for this sort of thing.

Re: Lavar Gone
 

yah lavar said that there was no money that he gave them. He just took away a bonus he was owed later. He said it wasn't like he came with a check or with 4 million in cash.

Re: Lavar Gone
 

In that interview Lavar said it was like "russian roulette" w/the coaches & this staff was the only one that he had a problem with. Ask Marvin Lewis about that.
Maybe this was the only staff that truly disciplined him for his mistakes. even pros can go through a career getting away w/what they want because of their talent, until a strong staff steps up.

Re: Lavar Gone
 

LaVar said "I want to come back and walk in FedEx Field once a year." Now that sounds personal! I'm pretty sure he'll sign with the Giants as they have depleted LB core.

Re: Lavar Gone
 

Is there anyone who thinks that Lavar will make less next year because he turned down the Redskins offer? PFT (insert various disclaimers) says that he would have to get a 10.9 million bonus +545k base salary in order to break even. What are his prospects on the open Market? I think that coaches around the league would have questions based on his performance the last two years. Perhaps this is the reason for the Marty rumors.

he didn't get along with dale lindsey and there was no way he'd get that 6.5mill bonus. when that was added back to the contract he was already gone. A july 15th bonus? how worthless is that?

Re: Lavar Gone
 

i was reading the thing from PFT on the eagles site. Do we save 10 point whatever million? If so this is amazing. I feel bad for lavar though. This is more the coaches faul than his. Maybe I haven't got a chance to hear the coaches(i missed dale lindsey on bram so if someone could say some key points) and I am just taking lavar's word for it. Could it be true he really did this for the skins.
