Giants Cut Arrington, Emmons, Petigout, and Morton

Lavar's career is almost over. A needy team may sign him, but in a year or two he will retire.
The cartilage in his knee is a worn down. He can rehab the knee and play a game or two at his former level, but then his will knee swell and becomes painful. Then his level of play will suffer and will miss many games. This problem is not going to go away, it will only get worse the more he plays.

Lets not resign him.

From being the next LT to getting let go by two teams 2 years in a row.

Gotta love it.

Well I'm not a huge "Arrington lover", although I liked the guy when he was here, and he sure as hell didn't come even close to LT (he probaboly wasent even the best linebacker on his team since 2004), but I think that is a little misleading if someone didnt know what was going on.

I really think the Giants let him go strickly because of injury. I mean he had the same thing Jansen had in 2004, and we know that if he had gotten hurt in the regular season (Jasnen) he would have missed more time. In addition, Arrington also paid us to get out of his contract.

Now while he shouldnt even be mentioned within the same sentence as LT, I think it was a little more than teams just "let him go".

When asked "who is the one coach you would not want to play for", didn't Lavar respond: Joe Gibbs? It's on the boards here somewhere from last year. He'll more than likely retire before he comes back here.

The Giants front office is probably like: "Got anymore awesome guys from the Redskins you want us to bring over, Antonio? Great suggestion! Go back to tackling people and leave the player acquisition to people who can read medical reports."

#56fanatic, WHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEERE AAAAAAAAARE YOOOOU? :D


I am here!! you know I would take him back (if healthy!!) Lindsey is gone, I would bet some of the players will campaign to bring him back.

Not sure what you're getting at... he was let go, released, whatever, call it what you will. Regardless of the reasons the simple fact is he's without a team for the 2nd straight year. That was my point.

I don't remember him ever saying that, but he can go screw himself if he did.

I heard him say it a couple of times, I know I saw it on Inside The NFL though. He was pretty angry after he left.

My thoughts exactly.

I loved him to death. I was at the San Fran. game last year and he had the crowd wrapped around his finger. All he had to do was throw his hands up, and the whole place went nuts.

He'll go down as one of my favorite players to watch... but yeah.. your right. He's done.


i totally agree with you. lavar was my favorite player during his time with the skins, i just hate the way it ended with him here. i'm not sure who was more at fault, i just didn't like it.

i too was at the 9ers game and your right, that stadium was totally electric when lavar got in the game.

These past year the Giants were hurt bad by injuries. I know Lavar has injury problems did the other guys cut have health issues which maybe the Giants are looking for some guys that can stay on the field?

Seems like if the Giants thought Arrington was going to bounce back from injury and be ready to play in 2007, they would have kept him. Coughlin and Reese acknowledged that he was really starting to play well in the defense right before he got hurt. Must be that they don't like his chances to be healthy in 2007.

Makes sense, the guy is extremely injury-prone at this point in his career. So even if he had a clean bill of health going into 2007, he'd still be a walking medical emergency waiting to happen.

IMO, that's a sign that no team should want to sign him, let alone the 'Skins.

Our fans grew attached to him while he was here; but we have to realize that things change. Careers get derailed because of injuries. Everyone needs to accept that he's never going to be the same player again.

Funny thing about the Giants I'm starting to notice, seems like they always have a ton of guys injured throughout the year. Particularly along the linebacking corps. Weird.
