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.

#1 I believe I held the view that his cap hit would be too much prior to the Coles situation... that changed everything.

#2 You were right, I was wrong, congrats! It isn't the first time I've been wrong and it definitely won't be the last.

Under ideal circumstances LaVar would be a great piece to this D. I have no doubt he will go elsewhere and remain a very good LB. As the saying goes, 'One man's trash is another man's treasure'.

In this case GW and company just don't have much use for an overpaid LB who by most accounts tends to freelance too much and can't keep his mouth shut in the papers.
