There is a reason the washington times is bush league...
Bringing this up now does nothing for Lavar or the team. I'd like to see Lavar as a Redskin for the rest of his career, but since Gibbs is back our organization realizes the word TEAM and not PLAYER is more important. Sure Arrington and Smoot and Bailey can bitch, but it's not all about 1 player. In the past 5 years we've had Deion, Bailey, Bruce Smith, Smoot, Davis, Carrier, Arrington, Coles, Morton and Spurrier, Turner and that DT that got injured in a Mickie D's parking lot in Denver. We are winning now with Portis, Moss, Cooley, Brunell, Taylor, Springs, Jansen, Samuels, etc. Team effort, teams win superbowls. TO and McNabb couldn't do it, but the Patriots know what team means, so did the Ravens when they won it. I love Arrington and I hope he stays, but I was a Redskins and Gibbs fan before Arrington was in high school!

I don't get this right now coming from Arrington, this has to be something old with some more recent material mixed in with the rest of the garbage. Even so Lavar saying the crap about management is mad about him and football is not that important to him. I remember just two or three years ago him going off on players for not taking losses serious and the joking around after games. If this is true, Arrington really is a cry baby, and can't handle not being an individual standout on what we have a team environment with no me, me, me, mentality.

Unfortunately, LaVar doesn't seem to have learned anything about who Joe Gibbs wants on the team. He says he watched attitudes change towards Bailey, Smoot and others but attitudes changed when these players decided to "negotiate" performing at their high levels for financial rewards not included in their contracts. LaVar began doing the same thing with the Brothers Postons and then complaining about their capabilities when he didn't even read the contract himself. This is the same approach TO used and we see how that turned out. If you are going to have a high paying job, you had better convince your boss every day that that is the only thing that matters in your life and do it the best you can all of the time. Does he think Martyball can be played part time too? Send him back to State College to get more degrees and learn about management of organizations and incentives.

I think thats an old interview. I really think that things are going better at this point than how the writer of that article tries to portray it. I also read a quote from arrington saying that he expected to be alot better next season once he had a healthy offseason to rehab...and was excited about playing here.

With his cap number i really dont think we'll cut him. I do think he will restructure to help the team now that he is playing.

I think what this writer did...is take old quotes from arrington...that were gathered during the time he wasn't playing...then throw in a couple of current facts about how we were on the verge of making playoffs to make it seem like he had a story to tell...when really he is talking out of his ass.

I expect and hope arrington will be back next season...(hopefully with gregg williams) and a few select upgrades on the d-line...and that our defense will hopefully be at or very near the top of the league next year!!!

As for this year...we are already good...so lets stay healthy...make the playoffs...and make a hell of a lot of noise once we get there!!!!!!!!!!

It makes more sense to keep him cap wise, unless we can afford to take another monster cap hit like we did with Coles, which I doubt is going to happen.

I can't see him retiring, he's too young and has too much $$ to make.

Yeah this is clearly true...there is no way we can afford to release him with how tight the cap is gonna be next year. We are gonna have to work a little magic with the cap numbers (nothing that Im not confident we can do with ease) but there is no way we could take a $13m hit by releasing or trading him. I just dont see how it could possibly work...

do we save 6.5 by cutting him??

If it comes to a move, what are our financial options with Lavar? I realize it has been posted before, but the massive loss of brain cells in my youth precludes any long term memory of a Lavar Arrington nature.

THe washington times is the worst newspaper ever. This is definetly old stuff. Are they trying to derail the team???????

[TAYLOR21]

Hell Yeah I Bet U He Said That Weeks Ago Or Its A Rumor, Man That Rumor Could Take R Focus Away From The Playoffs.

[skins052bgr8]

I wonder where this writer is from, this bastard could be a Cowboy or Eagle fan writing for the Washington paper trying to stir shit and take focus off the Skins and the need for this win. I know the Times is usually behind, but damn a couple months.

[BigSKINBauer]

Looks like he likes to play to me. -no ricky williams

All these pictures are from this year

If anyone knows or can find out when Laver's daughter was born that would tell how old the article is because they said she was do anytime. If you find that out it might also give the answer to question #3.
