Does anyone know how much money this will save us NEXT year???? I read it only saved us about 100K this year....I'm hoping it will prove worth it next year when we have his left over cap space to be REAL buyers....

If there is no CBA extension then it will not matter next year, meaning 2007, because it will be a cappless year.

Its not often I post anything, but this just makes me sick!

Re: Lavar Gone
 

Well....if he BOUGHT OUT HIS OWN CONTRACT, then I think its pretty obvious where both he and the team wanted to be.....I was all for keeping LaVar, but if he payed his way out of Washington, I guess he was full of sh*t with all that Redskin for life talk...I'm still a Lavar fan, I wish him luck, but I'm not gonna kill myself over the move.

Re: Lavar Gone
 

If Lavar had stayed, his cap number would have worked out to $12+ mil ($5+ mil signing bonus + $550K salary +$6.5 mil June Roster bonus). His dead money number works out like this:

Signing Bonus Acceleration: $12.846 mil
Buy Out: -$4 mil
Net: $8.846 mil

So it looks like the cap savings will only be about $3 mil (his roster slot has to be replaced for cap purposes).

Re: Lavar Gone
 

I enjoyed watching him play. But most of his tenure was during years of subpar team play. Different coaches, new staffs every year. Bad offense, bad defense, etc. So watching Arrington freelance and knock Aikman out and all that was a bright spot in years of pathetic Redskin play. Gibbs is here, Williams is here. Now Saunders. Arrington hasn't played great in the past 2 seasons. Don't know about yall, but I'll trust the staff on this one. I will miss him, but as we all know this is big business. For the team it's probably a good thing unless he ends up elsewhere in the nfc east! In an Eagles, Giants or Cowboys jersey I might cry watching him smash Brunell. GL LA! Do we pick up Shawn Barber?

Re: Lavar Gone
 

Sorry, I am just not heartbroken about this. He was a talented player who, during the lean years, stood out and always talked to the fans. I wish him well. But, of late, it had become clear that either he was dumb as a post when it came to following his coaches or just incapable of playing w/in a scheme. It also became clear that the defense could play VERY WELL w/out him.

We get cap relief, rid ourselves of a distraction and LaVar can see if anyone else wants to pay him 10M to play next year.

I for one would not be upset about him playing in division. Saunders will have a few sucker plays for him.

Re: Lavar Gone
 

JoeRedskins you're right it'd be quite easy to sucker him, but I'd hate to see him on Brunell.

I can see it now. Lavar ends J. Cambell's career down the road.:insane:

i hate this but whats done is done. time to move on.

Re: Lavar Gone
 

as much as i love lavar,this works for the skins.the last year and a half lavar has done a whole lot of complaining with only alittle bit of playing.he also makes a ton of money.any ideas on who is going to pay him what he thinks he is worth?

Re: Lavar Gone
 

Nice gesture by Mr. A to help the team's cap. I thought he was all about himself with the Where's the other 6.5, and why are'nt they playing me crap before a big game distractions. Not my idea of a real redskin.

I know it is said when describing most things that are bad, but Mods please remove the phrase of mild cancer. There is nothing mild about cancer, either you have it or you don't. Out of respect for me, would you please remove it?
