latest on LaVar
 

For the LaVar lovers:

Per NFL Network's Adam Schefter LaVar is likely to end up in Miami or Jacksonville. Cincy and the Giants are still in the picture, but Florida is his most likely destination.

Re: latest on LaVar
 

atleast he wont be in the nfc east

Re: latest on LaVar
 

[quote=aehs77]atleast he wont be in the nfc east[/quote]

or even the nfc.

Re: latest on LaVar
 

i hear that. I wouldn't care if he signed with florida or jacksonville. Good for him.

Re: latest on LaVar
 

The NFL network and Fox Sports radio keep talking about him going to New England. Kind of makes sence because they have made some big cap space by letting all of their good players leave.

Re: latest on LaVar
 

i hope he goes to Jacksonville and we get to see him here again in DC when we play them next year.

Re: latest on LaVar
 

hopefully he goes to miami or jacksonville i dnt wana c him in the nfc east

Re: latest on LaVar
 

let him sign outta nfc east thanks

Re: latest on LaVar
 

I think he'll be out of the NFC East.

Re: latest on LaVar
 

That would give Miami a real good trio in the LB corp

Re: latest on LaVar

Channing Crowder or something like that

Re: latest on LaVar
 

LaVar will make some noise...hopefully not in our division

Re: latest on LaVar
 

Lavar does not need to be on south beach.... It isn't big enough for him and Diddy

Re: latest on LaVar
 

yeah, id like to see him down in miami. not because i think he'll be great. i just dont want him sticking it to the skins because you know he would even if he didnt play great against any other team.

Re: latest on LaVar
 

I hope he stays in the NFC East and we beat him twice a year for the rest of his career.
You are either with me or against me. He's gone, so he's against me. He just wants to get paid. I loved him when he was here, but he's gone now. Bye LaVar. You've peaked with your career. All he cares about is the money. For the first time in his career he was apart of something that won and the spotlight was off him as a superstar. A superstar that only cared about himself and not the team. That's why he wanted out of that defense. It revolved around a team concept that wasn't for him. Let him run around the field aimlessly somewhere else! Go pout somewhere else. The destraction is gone! I mean seriously, who would go into the playoffs talking about his lack of playing time. Someone who does not put the best interest of the team in front of him. Hooray for his departure! Gibbs/Williams want team players and he can't play for guys like that.

I think you may want to get some of your facts straight before sounding off. 1st off, money is not and was not an issue with LaVar. As you remember he dropped the 6.5 million dollar contract mishap, saying he was happy here and didn't want to ruin the relationship with the organization and more importantly the fans. 2nd, he forfeited 4 million dollars to get out of a situation he thought was going to be more detrimental to him and team. He saved the Redskins 4 million dollars on the cap, so they could address needs at other positions. He walked out of Washington with some pride, and looked good doing it. All the other stuff about playing out of the system, needing spotlight, playing time, we shall see. The one who started that out the system rumor is pushing to sign him(Lewis) and the other D-cord he worked for is trying to get him in Miami, plus Marty in San Diego wants him. So if all this out the system crap was true, and he was washed up, would these former coaches be pushing to sign him. Even a strict, by the book guy like coughlin, think not! We will see what kind of player he is going to be, I have no clue, but I would bet barring injury he will be back to his probowl self. He has lost almost 20 lbs since the season ended and has done nothing but work out. and he has a lot of motivation to prove alot of people wrong.

Blah blah blah blah blah.......give it a rest already.

He parted on good terms with the team. He never had a bad thing to say about the fans and people of Washington. Nothing is accomplished by posting these pointless hate messages except pissing off those of us who are still fans of Lavar. I say, best of luck to him. It's not like he's ripping on the Skins ala Antonio Pierce. If you want to create hate messages, why not direct it at someone who actually deserves it. I mean really, just get over it already. Things didn't work out between the Skins and Lavar, plain and simple.

Amen

I don't believe a word that comes out of 56's mouth. His trinity is ME, MYSELF, and I. The Skins wanted to keep him, and he bailed. Sign with the Giants,please, so you can make 3 highlight plays against us, and lead the Gents to a 27-10 loss as part of a 6-10 season..

Good Riddance.

he most definately DID NOT drop the 6.5mill thing. at one time he said he might, but he didn't.

he also didn't leave for money; he left caue his position coach hated him because he didn't care about technique.

Re: latest on LaVar
 

UH OH! this is going to take a turn down ugly street. Might want to close it out. we have had too many of these freakin thread about LaVar. Cant we all just move on and drop it. Crist, I cant remember anyone person leaving to go to another team and hearing this much shit. Really people. If I can drop it and move on , anyone can. even the haters.

He did drop it, the agent took it the greivence. not him. Then they offered the crazy contract to help out with it.

his agent works for him :P he had to agree to the grievance and ask for his agent to file it. I have no idea why you'd think otherwise. That means it was not dropped and he most definately did not drop it.

Re: latest on LaVar
 

LaVar who?

Re: latest on LaVar
 

some of you may not know lavar.I do and he is very hard to get along with.Big mouth bad temper hard to coach.I know that staff at redskin park could not wait for the big mouth to shut up.

Like I said, If I can drop it and move on, anyone can. I didn't say I was innocent of anything. It just a subject that is getting really old. there are supporters and haters, that is something we can all agree on. for someone that doesn't even play for the Skins, there is alot of attention on the matter. MOVE ON. who cares.

what ever you say, dude. I am going by what he said. he wasn't worried about it, sorry it was actually the players association that filed the greivence over the contract, which in turn is why he is canned.

He did not drop the 6.5 mil deal we worked out some strange contract which we would pay $ or we could release him (I do not remember the deal but just there was a deal). Now the 4 mil. we do not know what went on in his negotiations with the skins so how can we give him the credit of giving back the money to help us out. For all we know Lavar may have went to the skins and asked to be released and the skins sadi no your cap hit is to much. Then Lavar comes back and says what will it take for me to be released and the skins say that if he could reduce the cap hit. Thus he gives back 4 mill because he wants to be released and not to help the skins. I realy don't care why he gave back the money I just don't see how people can argue a point which they do not know to be 100% true.

Re: latest on LaVar
 

If LaVar isn't about money, why hasn't he signed yet?

Could it be the outrageous signing bonus he's looking for? (Reportedly $16M)

Thats basically it. The skins were going to rework his contract. And like all the other players that reworked their deals they were contigent on the CBA being signed. If the CBA was signed, the new contracts were null and void. He wanted his to be good either way. They worked out a deal having LaVar being a free agent after the 2007 season. He felt that with what went on last year between him and team, it may be better to move on now. So they said they couldn't cut him based on the cap hit, he said what if I forfeit some of the bonus, they said 4 million and the rest is HISTORY!.

I haven't heard his contract demands. where did you see he was looking for $16million signing bonus. No way in hell he is going to get that. He better be looking around 5 to 7 million in signing bonus. He was hurt for two years.

It sounds to me that he did it for himself but in the deal also helped out the skins. I guess its how you look at it.

Could it be that he's trying to find the right fit with defensive coaches and defensive scheme after what happened here in Washington? Fact is, nobody knows.

I don't have a problem saying the deal helped out both parties........which is why the hatred seems so uncalled for. What is everyone so bitter about?

Here is one source that says he's looking for a bonus of $10M, which is still pretty outrageous.

It's not clear how interested the Giants really are in the 27-year-old Arrington, who made his first free-agent visit to the Miami Dolphins yesterday. There are rumors he wants a signing bonus of $10 million, which is a lot for a player who lost his starting job last season and did not record a sack.

You still think he's not about the money??

Everybody is about the money. Whoever says they're not is lieing.
