Any player who was being cut no matter what, why give back money? I'm lost how does that benefit the player and his agent?

To be let go before Free Agency Started that way he can sign a big contract with another team with a 10 -12 signing bonus before teams star shoping it was a good move fanancial wise for both sides.

I just didn't know you could do that, and also that the league would accept it as cap relief.... this way your team gets 4 mill back to get in 2 the cap and LA gets a chance early to sign with a new team if not the team would had realease him before July 4th killing his chances

Im glad to see you go Lavar. You are no longer worth the money we were paying you. And I have already nearly forgotten about you.

sad to see him go but if thats how it has to be then happy trails

I, for one, am glad he's gone. We gave him far too much money one day, according to ESPN and the AP he was the only Redskin who refused to rework his contract (what a true Redskin) and he was a distraction. He has great raw ability, but if a player can't play within a system, he is useless.

Gibbs said on Redskins.com Arrinton wanted to move on and the Skins need the cap room. He was the only player that didn't wanted to help out in cap room and 11 did. So we all hate to see him go but that is todays NFL!

11 restructured? That's the first I've seen that number. If that is the case, that is great news for two reasons.

First, it says a heck of a lot about the team. It says they are a team and they care about the ring more than the bling (maybe I'm being niave, but I don't think so).

Second, it means we will be able to play in free agency.

Wow I knew about 4 does somebody has the names of the players that restructure their contracts and how much cap space has that saved???

12 players speeks great about the TEAM atmosphere and financial sacrifice your players are doing for the greater goal. I guess tehy finally see the fanchsie turning and a posibility to make a run in the playoffs and are willing to sacrifice some $$$ to win... because thye don't know if they don't how much time would it take to compete again

I real believe that Gibbs is the glue that brings the team together. We were dead as a team before he came back. Will we win a super Bowl before his leaves...I hope so. But it's nice to have such a great man running the show!!! So Cowboys/Redskins every Thanksgiving now that would be fun!!!!

Almost as bad as bad an investment as buying a big WHITE HOUSE for you and some of your team mates to party at, then the DA, press and everybody's wives got wind of it (sorry D'Boyz, couldn't resist a little friendly old school smack).
