“it did not take money out of my bank account to be free. It was a bonus owed to me in a latter year. I didn’t take money out the bank for them to release me”

this is the thing that should worry you if he actually didn't gave back part of the bonus the NFL won't approve the cap relief.

peter King "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."

Does anyone else find the description of the Lavar transaction as him "buying his freedom" a poor choice of phrasing? I'm not the politically correct type but it kind of jumps out at me. Maybe I'm off base but the media is usually so quick to jump on people for this sort of thing.
