and agents get 3-10% of a contract, so one deal could easily make them over a million bucks, that's NOT chump change.
Actually I believe the NFLPA caps agent commissions at 3%, with talk of lowering it to 2.5%. Certainly not chump change at all, but not as much as youd think!

Conspiracy theory version:
Perhaps this process to initiate disciplinary action was initiated at Arrington's request? As an act of good faith towards Snyder and the Redskins organization?
Arrington knew the Postons were at fault for failing to properly review his contract, but he nevertheless took their side thereby alienating Snyder in the process. Now he wants back with the team in 2007, the only way to do that being to make amends with Snyder. So what's the best way to get back into Snyder's good books? Admit he was wrong to side with the Postons in the first place and go after them through the NFLPA thereby vindicating Snyder and the skins organization.
I think it's a moot point, considering that he hardly played much in '05.
It'll be interesting to see what the Skins do with Lavar in the offseason. I don't think anybody will want him at his current salary (therefore LOW trade bait..), but I also feel that a lot of teams WOULD want him at some price.

the 1st thing a normal person looks at is whats next to the money sign. lavar's agent is a dumbass and this needs to be settled NOW if there is any hope of renegotiating his contract in the future.
