I heard it could take up to a year to get settled. Not sure when it will start.

It seems that after the mini-camp Lavar realized that this is the team he wants to be with and his screaming to the media about his contract problem is probably ruffling some feathers. The reason it was in the media recently was because of Lavar himself but then he made a statement that "The more I think about it, and the more I just look around, I really don't want to be anywhere else," and "I really love the fans. For $6.5 million, it's not worth my relationship with the fans. I don't want that to be the legacy that I leave behind. I really want to reconcile whatever differences there are." He is going to let it play itself out and focus on football.

Read that too ike and I think LA's statement was very honorable. But... 6.5 mill is 6.5 mill. I believe it's going to arbitration soon, just hush-hush.
