Re: Lavar Gone
because this deal reeks with the assumption that there would be no CBA. Lavar should give the team the 6 million he and his semi-retarded agents owe the skins. 4.2 million. WTF is that. seems like a negotiation and they met in the middle. We could have waited till june and got 6.5 and we could spend during free agency assuming we would have that 6.5 in june. we also could have ordered a large screen TV for lavar and his nice living room. We held all the power. WE don't need to do this to get under the cap if the CBA gets signed. Ofcourse if the cba does not get signed this might make sense

Re: Lavar Gone
Does anyone know how much money this will save us NEXT year???? I read it only saved us about 100K this year....I'm hoping it will prove worth it next year when we have his left over cap space to be REAL buyers....

Re: Lavar Gone
Well....if he BOUGHT OUT HIS OWN CONTRACT, then I think its pretty obvious where both he and the team wanted to be.....I was all for keeping LaVar, but if he payed his way out of Washington, I guess he was full of sh*t with all that Redskin for life talk...I'm still a Lavar fan, I wish him luck, but I'm not gonna kill myself over the move.

Re: Lavar Gone
If Lavar had stayed, his cap number would have worked out to $12+ mil ($5+ mil signing bonus + $550K salary +$6.5 mil June Roster bonus). His dead money number works out like this:
Signing Bonus Acceleration: $12.846 mil Buy Out: -$4 mil Net: $8.846 mil So it looks like the cap savings will only be about $3 mil (his roster slot has to be replaced for cap purposes).

Re: Lavar Gone
I enjoyed watching him play. But most of his tenure was during years of subpar team play. Different coaches, new staffs every year. Bad offense, bad defense, etc. So watching Arrington freelance and knock Aikman out and all that was a bright spot in years of pathetic Redskin play. Gibbs is here, Williams is here. Now Saunders. Arrington hasn't played great in the past 2 seasons. Don't know about yall, but I'll trust the staff on this one. I will miss him, but as we all know this is big business. For the team it's probably a good thing unless he ends up elsewhere in the nfc east! In an Eagles, Giants or Cowboys jersey I might cry watching him smash Brunell. GL LA! Do we pick up Shawn Barber?

Re: Lavar Gone
Sorry, I am just not heartbroken about this. He was a talented player who, during the lean years, stood out and always talked to the fans. I wish him well. But, of late, it had become clear that either he was dumb as a post when it came to following his coaches or just incapable of playing w/in a scheme. It also became clear that the defense could play VERY WELL w/out him.
We get cap relief, rid ourselves of a distraction and LaVar can see if anyone else wants to pay him 10M to play next year. I for one would not be upset about him playing in division. Saunders will have a few sucker plays for him. |
