Redskins Sign S Brandon Meriweather

I think the plan was, anyone but Laron at safety in 2012.

I think in fairness too, they might've been counting on more of a FA market & more $ in FA before the NFL hit em w/penalty of $36 mil over 2 years.

good Luck LL .. you were great until you refused to get the damn surgery .. wtf dude .. instead of a 1 yr $4million dollar deal he likely would have had a long term deal with the Skins' if he would simply fixed his injury.

plain truth is he was being an idiot because of 1 of 2 possible reasons.

One - He is scared of going under the knife. Understandable for a regular human being, not a professional athlete whose livelihood is dependant upon recovering from injuries in an expedient manner.

Two - Since he is a "lifter", and probably is a very nutrition/healthy lifestyle conscious person, he figures that his body will do better undertaking a "holistic" approach. Might be good for a common cold or even the flu, but not really the preferred method for a ripped achillies tendon.

Bottom line is that either his fear, stubbornness or his delusions of knowing more than the teams surgeons has cost him a very pretty penny.

If he's WISE & I'm NOT trying to judge a book by its cover, LL's already made enough money to retire.

Perhaps, but they still had time to change their minds and offer him a deal. I think they made up their mind to move on from him a while ago.
