2nd overall pick in 2000
Arrington hated the situation in DC so much that he essentially gave up $4M to get out of his contract so he could be a free agent. Seems there are athletes who are still willing to trade money for a decent job. Most of the folks in Redskins land aren’t happy about this. LaVar Arrington is a crowd favorite in D.C. and the fact that he pays to become a free agent doesn’t say much for the Front Office.
This was all part of a move for the Redskins to get under the cap by the time the CBA extension is done. I would actually like to see what would happen in a capless situation where Daniel Snyder overpays for every single over-the-hill player in the league and the Redskins still can’t get to the Super Bowl.
