Samuels Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 LaVar had already done is contract over atleast 2 times turning most of what he was owed into guarenteed money. He was owed like 10 million this year and thats about half his 20 million right thier. I've read that NFL league office was surprised it was only a 800k raise from what he was due in the same time frame. I have no idea if its true but thats what I've read.

Arrington, a four-year veteran drafted by Washington in the first round in 2000, was scheduled to earn a base salary of $6.36 million in 2004. He was also due a roster bonus of $1.5 million next spring, for a total cap charge of $10.672 million. It was to have risen to $10.869 million in 2005 and to $12.013 million in 2006. Under his old contract, Arrington was owed a total of $16.31 million for 2004 and 2005. The new contract will pay him a total of $16.575 million for those two years. Beyond the $15.5 million signing bonus, ESPN.com has learned that Arrington will earn minimum base salaries for 2004 ($535,000) and 2005 ($540,000). Basically, in out-of-pocket expenses, the Redskins will pay Arrington only $265,000 more in the next two seasons than he was owed under his former contract. The biggest difference is that, on the old contract, the money was not guaranteed. Then again, it would have been next to impossible for the Redskins to save that money by releasing Arrington in that period, given the negative cap ramifications that would have produced.

ummagumma Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Samuels - Here is this from the Wash Times... http://www.washtimes.com/sports/20040315-114725-6069r.htm Despite the NFLPA's backing, there remain questions about Arrington's claim, non-Redskins sources familiar with the case said. An example is the initial haziness with which the dispute arose. Poston apparently did not notice the missing $6.5 million for several weeks, and in initial dealings with the union he declined to say exactly where the $6.5 million had been in the deal. Also, there are several common-sense issues: •There already is a $6.5 million roster bonus in 2006 of Arrington's contract. It is unclear why the sides would have agreed to a separate, simultaneous $6.5 million roster bonus instead of simply lumping the two payments together. •An additional $6.5 million roster bonus would boost Arrington's 2006 cap figure to an enormous $18.6 million. It is unclear why Washington would have agreed to a pact that necessitated massive restructuring or Arrington's release after only two seasons. As the contract stands, Arrington is set to have a $12.1 million cap figure in 2006. But sources said there is a clause that permits Washington to convert the $6.5 million roster bonus to signing bonus for cap purposes, meaning the Redskins are assured of being able to lower his figure to a manageable $6.7 million.

Samuels Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I glad they have the clause cause he'll never restructure again I'll bet anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1SkinzFan Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I think this **** is stupid, I like LaVar, but I think him and his agent are trying to pull a fast one here because he was too stupid to read the damn contract. If he was promised the bonus IN PRINCIPLE, that is what it means, just words, not signed, sealed, and delivered. Now when he received the contract to sign, and the bonus wasn't in there, he should have read it, and disputed it then, NOT NOW! He signed it, that makes it official, case closed, DEAL DONE! Play some damn ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
