Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

Heard a rumor tonight that NYG is not willing to pay Arrington what he wants. Possible to have him back in DC next season? Anyone heard anything new?

Re: Arrington back in DC?
 

Didn't here that and I have mixed feelings about him being back. By the way you gotta link on this??

Re: Arrington back in DC?
 

Unfortunately no link and no supporting evidence. Was told by a local reputable source that he heard that NYG didn't wanna pay him and he might end up back in DC for what he's worth. Guess I wanna believe we could get him back, keep him from joining the Giants and pay him what he's actually worth. I'll save my Arrington moments til the truth arises about this rumor. I do think it's interesting that Arrington hasn't signed with any team yet. Not Miami, not Pittsburgh, not NYG and not PHI or DAL. Please post if you've any knowledge or specualtion on this topic...

Re: Arrington back in DC?
 

The latest is that the Dolphins are trying to sign Arrington but the problem is the same as with the Giants and other teams who are interested; he wants too much money. The Postons need the cash for their lawyers who are fighting Carl's suspension as an agent.

Let him go. It would be like bringing back a bad wife after a divorce.

Re: Arrington back in DC?
 

if he wants money, that's omething we just don't have. I doubt he's coming back here for vet min to work with a coach he hates when he's fishing for a 54$mill deal. It's not happening.


He's headed to miami or jacksonville once he lowers his price.

Re: Arrington back in DC?
 

why would the redskins want a player that is in it for the money?not that all of those guys arent,but arrington has made a crapload off the redskins and i would think after all those losing seasons,sooner or later you would want to try and win something

Re: Arrington back in DC?
 

If your Lavar, your thinking..............what a GREAT JOB the "brothers Poston" are doing for me!!!!!! First, their incompetence hosed me outta' 6.5M on the Skins bonus deal. Next (on there advice) I give back 4M more so I can...........................NOT GET PICKED somewhere else, because I cost TO MUCH...........because of the money I need to recover due to Poston Losses. Incredible!!!!!!! Good call Carl

Re: Arrington back in DC?
 

NO WAY!Hell will freeze over before #56 walks back into FedEx field wearing burgandy and gold.He wanted to leave,we gave him his out,He paid back $4 Mil and left for another team but Now nobody wants him,Can you blame them seeing his last couple of years?He isnt worth much anymore,My Prediction:He signs with Miami for a 3 year deal worth 4 Million and gets a opt out clause after 1 year with incentives so he can showcase if he still has talent or not and then heads out to New York after that season.As long as he stays Away from DC we will be ok.

Re: Arrington back in DC?
 

Um where are you getting the part about him being back in DC? Seems like that is all your speculation, and it really makes this thread look more imp that it actually is.

Re: Arrington back in DC?
 

No way he would come back, he clashed with our coaches and it's quite obvious the coaches weren't too keen on him either. He needs a fresh start somewhere else.

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

id take him back. maybe hed realize that hes not worth as much as he thinks

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

[quote=Big C]id take him back. maybe hed realize that hes not worth as much as he thinks[/quote]

right now he wants over 7.5mill per year. We have what? 3mill this year without draft pick signings, and a position coach that doesn't want him.

I hope he ends up in Jacksonville. If I could see them play more, they'd be one of my favorite teams. I pretty much like everyone there and I'm a huge Leftwich fan. I would be happy to see him end up in JAX.

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

hey, whoever started this rumor, pass the doobie over here. i want a little of whatever your smoking.:cool-smil

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

I would like to see him back but it isn't gonna happen

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

Money again; get him SOMEPLACE..........

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

do we really need another lavar thread

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

That thinking about the Giants not paying Lavar what he wants is old news. There is too much hard feelings on both sides for Lavar to come back. Before that happens, there would be a lot of mutual swallowing of pride and you-know-what.

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

The purpose of this post was not to make up facts or rethread/rehash something. Just something a friend mentioned to me. The post ended in a question mark! I have to agree that I think Lavar will not return as a Redskin, but it is possible even if not probable.

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

I think it is mostly wishful thinking that he would come back. . .

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

Can you imagine the uproar throughout the league if we DID get him back because of that money he gave back?!

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

Arrington should fire the Postons and find new agents to represent him.

I personally would have no problem with having him back, but his salary would have to be considerably lower until he proved he could return to Pro Bowl status. I'm sure he would have a chip on his shoulder, and he probably be out to prove all the critics wrong if he returned to Washington with a smaller contract. Personally, I'd like to see him end T.O.'s career when we play Dallas.

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

Ain't gonna' happen. I seriously think the league would have a HUGE problem with someone knocking over four million off their previous team's cap numbers just to "re-sign" them back later on. I bet the league would block such a move unless it were of the original contract.

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

What if he doesn't get paid what he wants? Will he decide to leave the game? Will his ego let him settle for much less than what he's told he's worth? I see a decent chance of him in a broadcast booth or other form of broadcast sports journalism.

You're right that it ain't gonna happen, but not because of nfl rules. Teams get players to renegotiate contracts to reduce the cap hit all the time, especially the skins. Teams also frequently release players & resign them. Recently this was the case w/Troy Brown last year & Isacc Bruce this year.

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

But for this one, we completely unloaded the contract off the books. I would think the situation might be different. I understand renegotiation, but releasing someone and THEN resigning them back at a much lower rate? Sounds off to me.

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

Won't happen with Gibbs there. He benched him for a valid reason.

We're building a team with team-oriented players who are excited to be a Redskin...not self-centered people who can't play in a team system.

patriots do it all the time... of course, usually the players are just accepting a lower wage instead of actually giving up guaranteed money. No one is supposed to ever give up gauranteed cash, cause it makes the union look bad and opens the door to erase gauranteed money.

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

The fact that he hired the Poston's to begin with shows how dumb the guy really is, which defiently translates to the field of play.

Lavar back in DC, WHY?

Re: Arrington back in DC? (speculation)
 

Everyone knows ive been one of the biggest Lavar fans on here, but do we really want this non team player back. He had a chance to restructure his contract and stick around. I thought for sure after the playoffs last year he would. I remember the interview after the Tampa game and he said this was fun and he had tears in his eyes, I thought for sure that he was gonna retire here. He let me down. I doubt he would even want to come back after all the who-haw when he left. We still got a little money left over we will get someone.
