| 6th March, 2006 - 9:49 pm |  ESPN - LaVar Arrington will become a free agent after agreeing Sunday night to forfeit over $4 million in deferred money the Washington Redskins owed him to get out of his contract with the team, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports. As part of the deal, the Redskins have placed Arrington on waivers.
A team source said that the move would have been made irrespective of any delay in the waiver deadline Sunday evening.
Arrington was due $5.668 million in deferred cash for the remainder of his contract, but he agreed to forfeit $4.4 million of that in order to become a free agent. The Redskins will still pay Arrington the balance of $1.268 million on April 1.
"It's going to be best for the Redskins. I hope it's going to be best for LaVar," coach Joe Gibbs said Monday. "I think it gives him a chance for a fresh start. ... I certainly wish the last two years had been smoother here." [READ] |
