Giants Cut Arrington, Emmons, Petigout, and Morton

first off, all players are going to stand by their agents, especially ones you have had your whole career. He acknoledged the over sight by his agent, he said he wasnt worried about the contract, he said he was all ready a rich man, that playing in DC was the most important thing, more than the 6 million. Danny and LaVar were very close, until this whole contract thing, which the NFLPA forced the arbitration thing. Lavar wanted it dropped. they wouldn't let it drop.
I don't think that the NFLPA forced it to go into arbitration. I think that Lavar,his agent and the Redskins decided to let it go into arbitration to get the matter settled. The NFLPa represents the players and if Lavar said to drop the issue it would not make much sense for the NFLPA to presue an issue that the player was not willing to fight.

Exactly, and a hit of $3.6M isn't really that bad.I think 31 teams around the league would be wary of a $3.6 million cap hit.

This is the life we chose.

I think it entirely depends on which player's contract you are talking about. In my mind, a $3.6M cap hit due to a bad gamble on player with a lot of upside isn't that much. He didn't work out, but I think a lot of people thought that Arrington had the potential to be a major force. Arrington didn't work out and the Giants lost their bet, but $3.6M isn't a lot relative to his potential.

I dont know if I can find the article but LaVar did want it dropped. the players association wanted it to go to arbitration because of what happened with the contract. Arrington worked something out with the team, the players association wanted to nail the agent, which they did.

Exactly.

He was a gamble for them but he also didn't break their bank either.

Lavar does NOT want to come back, so this poll is moot. not happening. next.

Now Ramsey on the other hand...... ;)

The Giants just reportedly axed Chad Morton as well.

i thought chad played well for them. guess it's all part of the new GM putting his stamp on things.

morton had 2 fumbles, i think in week 11, that got him replaced.
