Pages : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [8] 9 jdlea 01-13-2005, 04:22 PM TO wasn't a free agent, remember? He was a 49er FRPLG 01-13-2005, 04:56 PM when was the last time we had a 70 reply thread in less than a day? Craziness I tell you... TheMalcolmConnection 01-13-2005, 05:07 PM I haven't been on here that long, but I would say this has been the quickest bunch of replies I've ever seen. Then again, look how controversial the subject matter is. I like how everyone is quick to put down the thought of trading our core players. skinsguy 01-13-2005, 05:13 PM I got tired of reading every single post, but to sum up..it doesn't make any sense to get rid of Lavar Arrington. If he hadn't gotten hurt this year, the issue would have never been discussed. We have our team set with just a couple adjustments on offense. I'm sure the FO knows how to handle the cap situation. jdlea 01-13-2005, 05:20 PM I got tired of reading every single post, but to sum up..it doesn't make any sense to get rid of Lavar Arrington.

Amen. Accept for the FO part, I kinda disagree, but time will tell. CrazyCanuck 01-13-2005, 05:22 PM "The rookie pool is, essentially, a cap within a cap. A team's rookie pool allocation is part of, not an addition to, the league's $75.1 million spending limit." True. The NFL determines the rookie pool for each team based on the number of draft picks and position of those picks. They are assigned a rookie pool number. The total money allocated to draft picks cannot exceed this number, and is included the salary cap. For instance in 2004 our rookie pool was about $3M. Here's the 2004 cap hits of our drafted rookies: Taylor - $2.16M Cooley - $395K Molinaro - $255K Wilson - $270K Total - $3.06M CrazyCanuck 01-13-2005, 05:26 PM As for Arrington, I don't think this thread is out of line. The fact is Lavar is our most expensive player, missed most of the year, and the defense didn't seem to miss him too much. If we can run Samuels into the ground because of his cap number, I don't think it's crazy to bring up the same issue with Arrington. That being said, like many have mentioned, the cap pretty much ensures Arrington will be here for a while. I estimate he's here at least thru 2007. Hogster 01-13-2005, 05:52 PM ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUS? I cannot believe we are second guessing a guy who has been the soul of our team for years, i guess now that we have a few other guys who can play football we forget who has gave us hope over the last few years. Dont get me wrong i know that we have a few good ball players but NONE OF THEM are better than LA Baby EEich 01-13-2005, 06:23 PM We haven't had a winning team with Lavar as our "soul". Gmanc711 01-13-2005, 08:12 PM You know, if were were discussing about Resigning LaVar and people were against it, I would understand. If somthing happens in court and the contract is void and people want to argue to not resign him, thats great. However, in no way, shape or form can we afford to trade him. End. Of. story.
