Arrington Seeks Arbitration

Despite public comments hinting that he would drop his contract grievance against the Redskins, linebacker LaVar Arrington still is seeking an arbitration hearing date, according to the NFL and the NFL Players Association.

The arbitration hearing over a $6.5 million bonus had been scheduled for Nov. 2 but was postponed because of a scheduling conflict with one of the NFL's lawyers. Arrington has contended that deadline pressure prevented his agent, Carl Poston, from properly examining an eight-year, $68 million contract extension signed in December 2003. According to sources familiar with the situation, Poston faces disciplinary measures pending the outcome of the hearing.

I wish this would just get settled one way or the other already

Amen to that!!

Yes it does need to end. Now don't get me wrong Arrington is one of my fav players. Damn he makes a ton of money and he's being greedy over it. But this might be bad for the skins. if he doesnt get his way. He might want to depart from the team then and that would suck. BIG TIME

I doubt he is being as greedy as you think....remember he does have the Poston's.

You could very well be right. But if you love the game and you are already getting paid a ton then why fight it.

Do you think his decision not to drop it, as he had indicated he would a month or so ago, has anything to do with his name being linked to Moss in trade rumors?

All I have to do is look at the pictures of the party that Arrington and I get a lil' angry at this.

the postons wont drop it, they want their cut to be bigger

God forbid we have anything to say negative about Lavar in this. More bullshit. Get an arbitrator to show him his signature on the bottom of the contract, manually turn him around, and kick his whining ass out the door. Hey LaVar, you're the highest paid LB in football, why don't you put a box of Kleenex in every room of your 53 room mansion, they'll help soak up those tears.
