He has not settled with the NFl & NFLPA to allow them to market his name or jersey.
It should be resolved before the start of this season.
He is not highly visible either. I don't know if that is his doing, or just that not many wealthy companys want Lavar as their spokesman. He did work as a judge on an ESPN talent search show. So he was paid to be on TV for a few weeks on that show.
However, I should not put down Lavar so much... on the field no Redskin gives more than Lavar.
He is one tough player who regularly plays hurt and puts the team first over his own health.
He wants nothing more than to have the Redskins be a winner. His willingness to quickly renegotiate his contract to help out the Redskins cap problems last year is proof. He did it so we could sign more talent. Chris Samules needs to do the same.
Samuels is going to count $8.5M this year. The highest on the team.
