HairOnFire Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Just got home from work and fired up Sportscenter where they announced that LaVar Arrington has agreed to play for the New York Giants. No signing to report as the negotiations are ongoing, but the NFL Network confirmed that Arrington had decided upon the Giants. We move on.

ArmyBengal Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Yep, I saw that as well... Godd*mn it, the Giants must have kidnapped him from our practice facility when no one was looking !!!WHODEY !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripes Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 We move on indeed.Quarterback? Well I guess that's not really moving on, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Still it makes me wonder is he hard balling us? We all knew he would have to come cheap. He just lost alot of Money. He might go for the cash dont get me wrong. However if I was him I would be thinking ahead and try to get a one year deal where he can get some leverage.

ArmyBengal Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 The Giants quite possibly had the crappiest LB corp in the league and Arrington will probably get a hell of a lot more from them than we could even come close to...WHODEY !!!

HoosierCat Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 There were reports (originating in the Washington Post) earlier today that LaVar was talking with the Giants again. It would make sense; way back when he first got out of D.C, the word was that his preference was to stay on the East Coast, and in the NFCE (which pretty much trimmed the teams down to NYG and Philly) so that he could crap on Dan Snyder and the 'Skins twice a year.

Spain Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I cant blame him he took it up the arse finanicaly. Still he guy should have thoughtblong term. For example Kitna, a scheme guy leaves one hen all of a sudden he sucks! Players are so quick to go for the imediate gratification. Frankly if he wants the money do you really want him?

DC_Bengals_Fan Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 No word yet on how much the contract's going to be? If the Jints give him the Julian Peterson money he's supposedly seeking, they can have him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whur CHad At? Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 They haven't sign him yet. Contract talks halted today, and will remain as a standstill. The Giants are bringing in LB Chad Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whur CHad At? Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Giants | No progress in talks with ArringtonWed, 5 Apr 2006 18:46:27 -0700Bob Glauber, of Newsday, reports talks between the New York Giants and free agent LB LaVar Arrington (Redskins) remain at a standstill. The Giants have not made any headway in talks with Arrington, who is said to prefer playing on the East coast. Giants | Team will visit with C. BrownWed, 5 Apr 2006 18:45:06 -0700Bob Glauber, of Newsday, reports while talks with free agent LB LaVar Arrington (Redskins) remain at a standstill, the New York Giants plan to bring in another outside linebacker to add depth at the position. Free agent LB Chad Brown (Patriots) is expected to visit with the Giants shortly. "We're going to talk (Thursday) and set up a visit," Brown's agent, Peter Schaefer, said Wednesday, April 5. "Chad is very excited about meeting with the staff. There are no absolutes or definites, but we'll see what happens." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 No word yet on how much the contract's going to be? If the Jints give him the Julian Peterson money he's supposedly seeking, they can have him.He's not likely to get big bucks from the Giants. Despite being a "big market" team, they aren't a big revenue team. Most prominently, they don't have a big-bucks sports palace; Giants Stadium is an older venue and on top of that they share it with the Jets. That's currently supposed to change, with the Meadowlands Complex slated to undergo a massive renovation to produce "Xanadu": a (no pun intended) giant complex that will include, among other things, a new stadium; retail, hotel and office space; and an indoor ski dome. However, the builder has massive financial troubles, has had to pull out of several other projects around the country, and is under investigation by the SEC, so whether this "stately pleasure dome" ever actually gets built is anyone's guess.The Giants spent fairly lavishly last year and as a result don't have a great deal of cap space this year. Giants GM Ernie Accorsi said earlier this year that they would not be big FA players. Bottom line is that if LaVar goes to the Jints it won't be for big bucks, but for the chance to tweak the Skins.

Whur CHad At? Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Arrington hasnt agreed to play for anyone yet. The story on ESPN was that the Giants are still considering him as an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBenBlows Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I for one didn't really want him anyway. If we would have signed him I would have rooted for him but, I could really care less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENGALTHEM Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I haven't read any of the threads on Lavarr, but I don't know why everyone wants this guy soo bad. I'm glad the Bengals didn't sign him. Our linebackers are good. Pollack, Simmons, Thurman, Landon, Miller, Navies. That's no slouch. Don't get me wrong, Lavarr is definitley an upgrade, but I'd rather spend that money on extensions for the O-line.Bengals are headed in the right direction. For the past two years, we wanted to land a good DT in free agency. The bad luck was a blessing in disguise becuase I would much rather have, Adams over Darry Gardner or Warren Sapp.We can pick up a LB in the draft with either the 3nd or 4rd pick. The moves the Bengals made this offseason are smart moves. Picking up Dexter and Sam means that we don't necessarily have to address these positions with the first pick.I'm satisfied with the starting defense. Geathers/Pollack, J.Smith, Shaun Smith, Sam Adams, Thurman, Simmons, Pollack/Johnson, James, Oneal, Williams, Jackson.........I like itTherefore the Bengals will take:1st pick Lenord Pope2nd pick Claude Wroten3rd pick CB/SSor LB4th pick LB5th pick DE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turningpoint Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 He really wanted to play in the NFC east apperently, probably wants to show the skins he can play. Hell if i was a probowl player and not put on the field I'd want to be given the chance to f**k my ex team up also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
