One very good reason : Is Arrington really the money/salary cap space space he takes up? .
He missed most of last season and our defense still ranked #3 in the NFL. The guy that played in place of Arrington is not as explosive of a player, but he makes a fraction of what Arrington is making and is an adequate player.
If you examine the spending habits of the consistantly winning teams (in contrast to our spending habits) like the Eagles or Patriots... when one of their great players contract is up and if the player askes for a huge contract, they usually (not always) just cut them. For example the Eagles gave up both of their starting/probowl CB's last year, instead signing them to huge deals and the Eagles still made it to the Super Bowl.
Look at our deals with WR Moss and Brunell.
