Arrington on the way out?

BossHog · 01-13-2005, 11:35 AM

Seen on ComcastSportsnet's SportsNite. Now that Lavar was paid 'his' 6.5 million dollar roster bonus, should we look to trade him to avoid salary cap hell in the next year or two. Lemar Marshall and Chris Clemons did fill in admirably during his absence. And if a trade could save us some dough, why not? I've been searching for a link for the story. No luck just yet.

Now that he got his roster bonnus only increases is dead money hit. Forget about Lavar being cut.

I would love to see LA traded but it wont happen because of his cap hit.

Well according to the report. Team officials deamed it a 2006 roster bonus. As long as that's permissable by the league, it seems we would'nt take any more of a hit than that (and since his contract was recently renegotiated, it should be somewhat cap friendly, especially after being paid the roster bonus). In essence you do trade a player's contract. Possibly, this is just the team trying to make good on an agreement. But why settle a 6.5 million dollar dispute before the hearing? Any contract issues are to be cleared up before a trade.

You're kidding right?

LaVar is a strength, not a weakness. im surprised at how 'what have you done for me lately' you guys are. he's a massive lockerroom presence, not to mention the ferocity he brings onto the field. like Ramsey, he's had to suffer along being a Redskin for so many disappointing and tumultous seasons, but UNLIKE Champ or now Smoot, he's always stayed optimistic and enthusiastic about the club.

if Arrington played this season, we would have the number one defense this season instead of number three. alot of those 'oh so close' to getting the QB (vinny) situations would have been certain sacks. probably would have gotten a couple more fumbles too.

And the secondary would have had more INTs because of LA pressuring the QB into throwing the ball quicker.

Anybody remember the 1st quarter of the preseason Falcons game? I know it was just a preseason game, but Michael Vick is Michael Vick no matter what time of the year it is.

I have to disagre ill, I believe Lavar is a weakness he get's paid superstar money and his position is being played admirably by minimum wage type player's, practice squad guy's, his salary weaken's our team, William's proved this year that if you give him a LB with speed he will make a player out of him, how much better do you think Lavar would be compared to either Marshall or Clemon's? Do I think he is better than Marshall? Yes, but not nearly enough of an impact to justify his salary compared to Marshall and Clemon's, I started and still am the leader of the Lavar is the most overated player in the NFL club.

I just dont get it.

Trade Arrington.....

Trade Portis....

Lets cut Coles....

Why do we have to overturn the roster every single year. Koy Demter and AJ Feeley filled in awsome for Donavan McNabb a couple seasons ago, should the Eagles have let him go to save some cap room? It just dosent make sense, and people dont understand that we cant do these things with guys carrying this kind of cap number. It would make things worse... not better. Arrington is going no where. Portis is going no where. None of these guys are leaving, I dont know why we even have to speculate it.

You can't compare Detmer and Feeley money to Arrington money. You want to use PHI as an example? Look what happened to Trotter before we signed him. It happens to the 'best' of them.

He was comparing (detmer & feeley vs McNabb) to (clemons & marshall vs Arrington, like you did in post #1).

What about Trotter before we got him???

Look it all stems from that comment.

It seemed as though you didn't understand Gman's post. I tried to clear it up for you. How we got here, I do not know. You tell me.

well, this is a discussion board, and people just want to discuss. our offense was terrible this year and Arrington wasn't missed on defense so thats where all this is coming from.

but all these guys mentioned are GREAT players. as good as they are, yes, they are overpaid. not many teams pay like the Skins and won't want their contract. so we've made our bed, and we gotta sleep in it, but its not a bad bed at ALL.

we should focus on getting rid of guys who haven't produced or don't have the ability like Gardner or Raymer.
