I'm one of the one's who voted NO, BUT do you think that LaVar should give the REDSKINS special treatment when it comes to restructuring his contract to help out the team?
Well, he's the one saying how much he loves it here and how he wants to be here for the rest of his career. Let's see if he puts his money where his mouth is.

My answer was actually yes he should, because there's no I in team. ;)
Just wanted to see what people would say...

I do agree though. He's bothered me enough this year with his emotional crap that I'd be OK with him leaving. The only reason I'd want him to stay is talent ONLY, not for cap reasons or anything else.
However, if he took a pay cut to stay a Redskin, he'd have my full support and again be one of my favorite Redskins.

Under the new collective bargaining agreement, that will change. GO TEIM!

I wanna know how many times a Redskin should have to restructure his contract? wtf? Why do they even give them out if they have no intention of living up to them...ever?!

I dont remember people feeling that way when Thrash went to the Eagles, or when Trent Green was sent packing. The difference here is simply that Lavar has not earned his paycheck for two years and the Skins have to deal with the salary cap. People tend to stand behind the guys that work thier ass off, keep thier mouth shut, and don't complain about thier paycheck (i.e those two guys I mentioned above). Lavar, for all his talent, is guilt of breaking at least two of these three football fan rules.
Again, as mentioned, these things are why fans have different opinions about the Lavar release and why your statement about the fans turning on Lavar after his release my become true. I just believe that if it does, it is his fault.
I didn't care at all when Thrash left becaue he had half of a decent season. And I know I wasn't a member of this site, if it existed, when Trent Green left. Anyway, what about Stephen Davis or Champ or the way a lot of fans were on board with Brad Johson getting pushed out the door? What about all the negativity toward Smoot and Pierce? It started to happen last offseason before Samuels got his new deal. That's pretty much where LaVar is right now. All of a sudden he sucks because he makes a lot of money and if he doesn't restructure than he's not a team player. That's pretty retarded.

That's the name of the game in today's NFL.
Show me one team that actually pays out the full terms of a contract with no restructures.
