Will Arrington take a pay cut? (MERGED)

[FRPLG]

It be a huge cap eat if we dumped him guys. I know we did it once but hopefully we learned to keep relationships better so we wouldn't have to again. If the main reason they want to rid themselves is his playing abilities then he probably stays because he is better than taking a huge cap hit AND signing someone else in his spot. If he is disgruntled ala Coles then they'll get rid of him I would think.

if he is gone possible dream trade scenario for me would be this: how about an almost even cap swap of Tony Gonzalez for Lavar? that would provide them with a defensive playmaker they need and would provide us with a proven viable compliment too Moss and Cooley. I know it ain't gonna happen but I think a whole lot of people said the same thing about the possibility of a Bailey for Portis deal a couple years ago.

Lavar still has trade value in my eyes. His and Randy Moss's contracts are very very similiar. I mean it could be a straight swap. Randy didn't work for them. We may package Lavar and ramsey to our favorite trading team the Jets but i would want offense from them. I don't wanna trade anyone for anyone on Defense. I would love a dominant TE but i think that it wouldn't happen. We need to pick up a DE through FA or the draft. I still think lavar would be great at DE but it seems everyone thinks that bridge is burned

I'm sorry but neither randy or Porter are going anywhere they have huge signing bonus last year the cap hit its really high Raiders can' afford it.

I don't know what would be the cap hit for Lavar but if he doesn't restructure his contract I see him getting cut no team will make a trade if they know they're going to cut him or you will get an average player for taht trade

randy was traded with his contract from what i heard, and its a good contract for his talent. That means no hit for them, though tossing R Moss for anyone would be pretty dumb.

Gibbs had a shot at Moss when the vikes offered him up and he turned it down immediately without regrets or second thoughts. R Moss plays half-assed and Gibbs won't bother. They also passed up P Price, and you have to believe that williams gave them a reason to say no thanks. TO is more likely than either of those two (cause he helps other WRs and plays hard), but you know he also has zero chance of coming here, but thats much more likely than the others.

Why don't we trade him for Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, or Steve Smith? Because nobody wants him. Playmaker no more.
