Can we trade for Smoot now?

I have no idea why lavar would be cut. I have heard that we would take a bigger cap hit by cutting him then by keeping him on the roster for next year. Plus, the guy hasn't been healthy and we would be wasting a hell of alot by just cutting him loose. I would expect that we keep him for next season...now that GW is gonna be here...and then we'll see how he does if he can get healthy. I think he'll stay...and i think he will tear it up next year. The guy is a fan favorite...and he is very capable. He has just had the injury bug. Give him this offseason...hopefully he comes in healthy next year...and i think we have an elite defense with a playmaking lavr, marcus washington and lemar marshall all back next year.

On smoot...i dont think its realistic to expect he would come here. He might not clear waivers if he was cut...and even if he did...someone would offer him more money then we would be willing to...cause we would sign him as a nickel corner...and someone else would pick him up as at least a number 2 guy

A couple of reasons why LaVar could end up being cut.

#1 His monster contract. He's also due a roster bonus of $6.5M this offseason. The team has already shown in the past they're not afraid of absorbing a large cap hit if it means getting rid of dead weight (Coles). Yes it will be a huge bullet to bite but when you look at the long-term impact of wiping his contract off our slate it makes more sense to do it now rather than later.

#2 The fact that this defense has succeeded without him in the lineup.

#3 His speaking out/distractions in the press don't help his cause any, no matter how insignificant they may be.

Personally I'd be shocked if he's back with the Redskins next year, both from a financial standpoint and on the field standpoint. He's grossly overpaid and the defense has gotten the job done just fine without him.

Matty, you have told me a million times back when I said LA should be traded (back when he was worth something) that there is no way the skins can trade him because of the cap hit. Period, end of discussion. I see now that you think the cap hit is no big deal. Also your #2 point is what I have been saying all last year. Thanks for seeing the light.

I would also add that as far as this coaching staff is concerned, LA has done absolutely nothing for them. I know he's been hurt and all but the bottom line is that LA has not done anything to make this staff take notice. I only wish the skins had traded him back when I suggested and been able to get something of value for him.

I could only remember seeing him on one play but I have no idea how much he did play. It sucks watching the game with alot of people and half are tlking about their hair or something like that.

#1 I believe I held the view that his cap hit would be too much prior to the Coles situation... that changed everything.

#2 You were right, I was wrong, congrats! It isn't the first time I've been wrong and it definitely won't be the last.

Under ideal circumstances LaVar would be a great piece to this D. I have no doubt he will go elsewhere and remain a very good LB. As the saying goes, 'One man's trash is another man's treasure'.

In this case GW and company just don't have much use for an overpaid LB who by most accounts tends to freelance too much and can't keep his mouth shut in the papers.

He started and he seemed to be out there most of the time, though I did notice he was still being pulled on 3rd downs.

I am glad that this team now seems more concerned with how a player performs than how marketable he is. I applaud GW for sticking to his guns on LA.

He started and he seemed to be out there most of the time, though I did notice he was still being pulled on 3rd downs. And he still only had one tackle? Whats up with that? I thought that maybe he was only in for a couple of plays. Before the game I was thinking that he just might come out and make a statement with a big game.

He actually had alot of good plays though, in which he changed the direction of the play, pressed the QB, brought sacks for other people, etc. He did alot better than that one tackle, but yea I think we all know LA is not playing at 100 percent, and if he gets back at that level, he is worth every penny.
