(rumor) lavar on crutches again after another surgery

[aprius]

Does anyone think this tirade about the 6.5million and his knees might go hand in hand because he knows he only has a very limited time to play well because of a bad diagnosis from the doc and he is trying to get every cent now?

[offiss]

He's been a pain in the A** since we drafted him, he refused to sign off on the rights to his name so the NFL could market him, as if he was something special and should recieve more than everyone else, and now he's having fantasies about additional bonus money on top of the overwhelming amount he recieved, and won't let it go even though everyone who has seen the contract say's there's nothing there for Lavar to hang his hat on, personally I just think he or the Postens really aren't remotly qualified to be negotiating mega contracts and are now trying to blame skins management for something that I have to believe could have and should have never been offered considering the size of his contract to begin with.

Aprius, to answer your question, I don't know if he would actually milk his knee for more money? But he has had surgeries so the injury is legitamite, but the fact is he never stop's YAPPING about money, and I am tired of hearing a player who doesn't deserve what he's already getting, whine about more!

LA is full of crap and this mess is all his fault not the skins. If memory serves it was LA not the skins who rushed him back last season. In fact Bubba Tyre tried to stop LA from practice and LA got up in BT's grill and threatened to get physical with him for stopping him. Then LA slipped reinjured his knee and the rest is history. Once again this goes back to my post last week about the skins drafting million dollar bodies attached to 10 cent heads. Who cares how hard LA hits or whose career he may or may not have ended, he's too often out of position and always seems to have some dispute with the FO that is a result of an oversight on his part.

If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times, the skins should have traded LA when they had the chance and he had some value.

SportsC mentioned this during the year. No one agreed with him, he may have been pretty on.

Welcome Skinfan184! Glad to have you! He is making a ton of money already. His money dispute is really not with the Redskins, it is and should be with his agent!

Except his agent isn't going to cough up that money!

[Redskinsfaninnola]

Maybe he needs the money to pay for the 56 Plasma tvs he got for his house.

Ask any player about being on IR and the rehab process and they'll always say it's a lonely road. It feels like you're not part of the team anymore, like nobody cares, etc.

Did we learn anything new from this? LaVar talks when he's upset, not exactly big news or anything to get too excited about.

[Redskins_P]

Lavar was just emotional.....no big deal. He's not going anywhere, and I'm sure Gibbs already has this issue resolved.

[CooleyAsCanBe]

He has no reason to complain, just think of the millions he is raking in from his amazing Easterns Motors commercial. Hahaha.

I realize that we can't drop him now... but next year it might make sense rather than paying that roster bonus.

Next year his release fee is over $13mil. We are already going to be around $10 mil over the cap and his salary is only around 500k in 2006. So that's a $12.5 mil hit on top of the $10 mil we're already going to be over. Still doesn't make sense. If for some reason he stays injured and can't play, he would likely be cut in 2007 after we clear the giant cap hurdle next year.

Now, if there's an uncapped year...

Actually, because of that bonus, he'll only cost us an extra ~2.5mil if we cut him next year. I still think it won't happen because everything done next offseason will be figureing out how to get back under the cap.

I thought next years cap was looking okay since Coles cap accelerated.
