Arrington Not Dropping Grievance

DCopper04 · 01-27-2005, 12:23 AM

I don't think you can blame LaVar for taking this to an arbitrator. First of all, it's $6.5 million. I don't care who you are, that's a shitload of money. And in reference to his huge contract, everyone in this forum knows he will never see 2/3 of that $68 million (unless he restructures in a few years.) It would be unrealistic for the Skins to cope with such a huge cap number from him, especially when the defense can make it to #3 without him. Additionally, should the need to trade Arrington ever arise, there will always be teams willing to part with high draft choices and key veterans in order to obtain one of the greatest defensive talents in the league. Bottom line is, if you think someone shafted you for $6.5 million, you don't just look the other way. You bust your ass to get that money back.

If I where the skin's I would aproach Lavar about squashing that contract and allowing him to seek a better deal elsewhere, I would love for an arbitrator to rule that the contract is null and void and see Lavar's face when he can't sniff a contract like the one he has now, the guy didn't play this year he is by far the most overated player in football and he's crying about money he doesn't have coming, LAVAR IS NOTHING MORE THAN MEDIA HYPE!

I agree 100%! Lavar and the Poston's are idiots. Didn't they admit to not reading the final contract?! Isn't that their EFFING job! What morons... Maybe the FO did take out that money, but it's their friggin' fault for not reading it.

Give Lavar his walking papers.

I think this is Poston's doing. Lavar comes out, speaks from his heart and says that he doesn't care about it and might drop it. Then his agent says to him "WHOAH, what are you doing?!?" (wanting his cut). So he comes back and says that it isn't being dropped.
Either way, I agree with others in that I just want it to be over.
