[RedskinPete]

Time to watch Gibbs men about Arrington and things!!!

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Listening to Cerrato on Redskins TV.

Cerrato says that if a CBA is reached, the Redskins will be quite active in free agency. Cerrato says that if there is no deal, the Redskins won't be very active in free agency.

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Cerrato looks like he hasn't shaved in a day or two. He's probably just as frustrated as I am.

I was thinking the same thing!!!! No sleep. But he like Gibbs see this as it is and are dealing with it!!!

[50-GUT]

Gibbs approached Arrington with 2 options.. If you want to stay, we can work out something... and if you would rather leave, we can do this:..

Arrington chose to leave..

He probably already has a deal in principle over in Marty Land..

Gibbs said that Lavar had to options and chose to leave or did you here that somewhere else? I would think if he had spoken to Marty without permision they could get slaped with a fine.

[70Chip]

50-Gut is a reliable source. He has my imprimatur(FWIW). Welcome 50.

[drew54]

In the spirit of no new threads.

EDIT:Link

Did anyone hear on todays Redskin Radio that Peter King thinks the league should look into the Arrington deal. He really doesnt think Lavar forefited that 4.4 million.

F@#$ PETER KING.

The guy is a Giants fan who hates all things redskins. This is a slap in the face.

[SmootSmack]

For the record here's what he said:

"I think just for the sake of insuring trust in the salary cap from some skeptical front offices, the league needs to make sure LaVar Arrington is really going to forego the $4 million in guaranteed money to get his freedom now. Not saying it didn't happen, but I am saying with all the money the Redskins have to spare and how convenient it was that the team could find this money after months of hand-wringing over the Arrington deal, the league needs to double check that the accounting of this is clean.

Assuming Arrington did give the money back, it's a smart move on his part to get his freedom now instead of in June or July. And I think it's a good example of cutting one's losses. The Redskins and Arrington were never going to be happy together, even though he loves the city and the people there."

Nothing saying Danny can't hire Lavar as a "very expensive consultant" for a day.

Parting thoughts on Arrington....
Sad he's gone, but happy for the Family. He in a way was a minature example of what would happen if T.O. were ever on our team. Not to mean they are comparable in almost any way. The things that we need to replace in his departure: 1st, his ability to get our fans into the game - not that Marshall, Washington and Taylor do not posess equal quality. 2nd Arrington has an eloquent way of speaking in interviews. He's educated and explains himself well. I remember an interview with Dan Patrick during Spurr's second year w/ Arrington. Arrington said that the thing that has been the most difficult in DC compared w/ Penn State is that he's had 3 or 4 head coaches and other numerous dc's in the time he's been here. He said chemistry is the most frustrating part of our team. Well we've got chemistry now - we've got fusion! 3rd, his aggressive behavior, albeit at many times contrary to the defense's play call - he would break up many plays and still recover(many times) when he blew the play.
What I will not miss: The controversy and distraction from winning that he has brought into our element since drafting him. He says he wants to stay in the NFC East, Philly has room, good luck Reid. They'll get a little mini-me-T.O. in the making. Sorry LaVar, you overstepped your boundaries after your knee surgery.
Hail SKINS!
