Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I Hope things work out.

hearing him talk after the game I had a feeling this might happen, but it is still awesome to hear. While he can make mistakes occasionally, it's really kewl to see an extremely talented guy willing to work through past problems and give up some money to stick with a team that's building upon something very positive.

i really think that lavar will be here for years to come. He is willing to work through his past problems. Also, i think what helped him in terms of agreeing to restructure is what happened this past season. Had we had another losing season, i believe that Lavar wouldn't want to restructure. But this winning season, and showing what we can do, making the playoffs for the first time in his career, I believe it showed him that we are doing something positive here, and he wants to be a part of it.

I don't know what would be the cap hit for Lavar but if he doesn't restructure his contract I see him getting cut no team will make a trade if they know they're going to cut him or you will get an average player for taht trade

randy was traded with his contract from what i heard, and its a good contract for his talent. That means no hit for them, though tossing R Moss for anyone would be pretty dumb.

Gibbs had a shot at Moss when the vikes offered him up and he turned it down immediately without regrets or second thoughts. R Moss plays half-assed and Gibbs won't bother. They also passed up P Price, and you have to believe that williams gave them a reason to say no thanks. TO is more likely than either of those two (cause he helps other WRs and plays hard), but you know he also has zero chance of coming here, but thats much more likely than the others.

quick caution, lavar may be willing to rework the deal, but that doesn't mean the two sides are going to be able to meet on a figure small enough to keep a sane cap number in place...

I just don't see LaVar coming back. GW doesn't seem to be a big fan of him and that's enough to tell me the team will look to part ways with him.

Don't get me wrong, I love LaVar as a player but his contract is bloated and we could definitely lighten our cap load for the future by getting rid of him now.

Havn't you people read the papers, he and Danny have met about making adjustments to his contract to get it around 6 to 7 million next year in order for him to stay on the Redskins. He has met w/ Gibbs and Williams and both have acknowledged that they would like to have LaVar back. We will see what happens, but I wouldn't say he is gone yet, about 50-50 right now.

If it's in the papers it must be true, he's coming back!!

I guess we'll see. I'd love to be wrong.

was for.

Does anyone know where I can get an authentic Skins jersey with replaceable numbers and name? I'm tired of getting a new one every year when Bailey/Smoot/Ramsey/Arrington/"Name your player" turns to crap or gets fed up and leaves. Maybe I should just get the D. Green jersey and be done with it...

I have two authentic Arrington jerseys and a replica Ramsey to retire this offseason.

I'm only getting retired players from now on.

But I'd love to get a Marcus Washington jersey, at least with that name on the back it wouldn't go out of style.

The question is: "Is he open to stop eating?"

Maybe its sympathy weight for his pregnant wife. If you have any, go back and look at tape of L.A. from 2001. He looks like a completely different person in terms of his speed. He's done.

Why don't we trade him for Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, or Steve Smith? Because nobody wants him. Playmaker no more.
