Yes it will be a huge bullet to bite but when you look at the long-term impact of wiping his contract off our slate it makes more sense to do it now rather than later.
#2 The fact that this defense has succeeded without him in the lineup.
#3 His speaking out/distractions in the press don't help his cause any, no matter how insignificant they may be.
Personally I'd be shocked if he's back with the Redskins next year, both from a financial standpoint and on the field standpoint. He's grossly overpaid and the defense has gotten the job done just fine without him.

Matty, you have told me a million times back when I said LA should be traded (back when he was worth something) that there is no way the skins can trade him because of the cap hit. Period, end of discussion. I see now that you think the cap hit is no big deal. Also your #2 point is what I have been saying all last year. Thanks for seeing the light.
I would also add that as far as this coaching staff is concerned, LA has done absolutely nothing for them. I know he's been hurt and all but the bottom line is that LA has not done anything to make this staff take notice. I only wish the skins had traded him back when I suggested and been able to get something of value for him.
