Here's how I see it.
On the surface it's easy to say this is just another whine session from LaVar. Partly it is. On the other hand, he's frustrated over his injury, and rightfully so. He's a passionate guy who wants nothing more than to be on the field, he's missed alot of time and could possibly miss more, so of course he's upset and wants to vent.
LaVar is the kind of player that needs a pat on the back once in a while. He's frustrated by being a spectator and he wants to be in the middle of the action (and the attention).
I wouldn't look too far into this latest "episode". Gibbs will talk him down, LaVar will come out and say how much he loves the Redskins and the fans and it will blow over with time.
Nothing will come of it, he's not going to be traded or cut, there's simply no way to get around his cap figure, and frankly I don't see this as the kind of thing that will put a huge divide between him and the team.
He's pissed and frustrated and he's letting it be known because he didn't make the headlines when he had the surgery last week. Perhaps the staff wanted to keep things quiet as to not make a scene or a big deal (out of what sounds like a relatively minor knee scope), but LaVar is taking care of that himself quite nicely.
