Lavar and Giants agree on deal

Remember when we got Jeremiah Trotter and it was all about how he'd be so fired up to play in the same division as the Eagles that we'd burn them twice a year? And we got Jessie Armstead and it was watch out NY Giants, JA is on a mission?....Yeah, exactly

Maybe LaVar will make some big plays against and win some personal battles. But the Washington Redskins team will still win the war.

Giants | Team concerned about Arrington's first physical
Sat, 22 Apr 2006 08:51:12 -0700
Vinny DiTrani, of the Bergen Record, reports free agent LB LaVar Arrington (http://www.kffl.com/player/1917/nfl) (Redskins) refused to take a physical for the New York Giants (http://www.kffl.com/team/26/nfl) during his previous visit in March. He instead had his agents send the team a copy of the physical he took with the Miami Dolphins (http://www.kffl.com/team/22/nfl). The results concerned the Giants, which appeared to show a bone-on-bone situation in his right knee. The Giants (http://www.kffl.com/team/26/nfl) asked for Arrington to undergo a checkup with them, which one source said was "good enough" to allow talks to continue.

What number will Arrington wear I wonder? Surely the Ginats have retired the number 56 in honor of a certain other linebacker named Lawrence Taylor.

yeah, its too much money... a lot is contingent on him playing well though... at least that's what a NY paper was writing.

thatguy,what kind of signing bonus did he get?

pierce didnt play in the second game

...or half of the other LBer's

With the defensive ends that the Giants have I can see Lavar having a great year if he stays healthy. Tim Lewis will move him around so that he can avoid a lot of traffic and play to his strengths on stunts and blitzes. The Giants can afford to because of their great DEs. Though I thought the Skins ultimately did the right thing in letting him go--I can't help but feel nervous about one of those Lavar missile hits on Brunell.

thatguy,what kind of signing bonus did he get?

no one's reported on that yet. he wanted up to $18mill, but i'm sure he didn't get that. might have been around $10-12 though... I have no idea how incentive based it is either.

Good riddens. I oved the guy as a skin but do you think his selfishness isnt gonna go to NY with him? He had a chance to stay. He will regret it. The whole problem with him is that he couldnt run a defensive system, what they dont have a system in NY? wouldnt it have been nice to let him go a couple of years ago and keep Pierce? if we keep them indime defense by running 3 & 4 receiver sets then he wont even be on the field. Isnt that where he feals the most comfortable, on the sideline?

Man this is some BS.....a least we get to expose him twice a year now
