Why would LaVar agree to work with the Redskins on any more contracts, when he believes the team cheated him out of $6.5 million when he signed his last contract?

LaVar's situation and Taylor's/TO's situations are very different.

The main reason people are up in arms about Rosenhaus's tactics with Taylor and TO is that those players' deals are only a year old. With Taylor, it's even more infuriating, because he's an unproven player. One moderately good rookie season does not warrant a contract do-over, particularly given Taylor's ass-clownish behavior off-the-field. The Redskins shouldn't re-do Taylor's deal until he proves he can stop making boneheaded plays both on and off the field. Let him make the Pro Bowl or lead the league in interceptions to make his money (triggered by incentive clauses in his current contract), and then talk about re-doing his deal.
