Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

Poor Lavar, how does minimium wage sound Lavar ??? Good Luck...DON'T COME BACK... USED UP HAS BEEN OR NEVER WAS IS MORE LIKE IT! Surprised at the Petitgout move he's been a solid OT. Another suprise if they depart with Chad I thought he played well in NY.

[quote=skinsfan69;276882]If I remember correctly didn't Trotter leave Philly on bad terms and go back to have a productive career? So why can't Lavar and Mgt throw all the BS under the rug and offer him an incentive contract? It's not like we are loaded at LB. We have one proven LB on the roster. And the FA market isn't looking so good either. 50 year old, undersized London Fletcher is not the way to go. BRING BACK LAVAR.[/quote]

I recall reading that Reid kept in touch w/Trotter & offered condolences when he blew his knee out here. I don't know if Gibbs called Lavar when he ruptured his achilles, but some of Lavar's words about Joe were pretty harsh. In addition, the Danny hates the postons if not Lavar too.
That was probably the most tragic aspect of Lavar's career in Wasington, not the injuries & undisciplined play, but his standing by his agents while the nflpa & congress questioned their ethics.
I said it in several of the many Lavar posts, I really believe the rift w/Lavar & the Danny all stems from the postons.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

I wonder if this means the g-men are ready to make a serious offer to Briggs. He may be franchised soon, but that can lead to a trade.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

[quote=Grim21Reaper;276886]Because Trotter didn't have two knee surgeries and an achillies injury.

Not to rain on the parade but I have heard a hundred times that Taylor and the other guys on the defense are undisciplined. So what exactly would Lavar (even less disciplined than the group that we have now) be bringing to the table?

If he would accept a minimum deal, I would let him try out. That is it.[/quote]

That is what I said. Sign him to a contract that is loaded with incentives only if he passes a physical. I have heard that he is way ahead of schedule if that means anything.

Lavar tends to wander a bit. But all I know was his last year here, when he was on the field, he was making a difference. He was getting the ball carrier on the ground all by himself. So if he can do that then he's better than Marshall and Holdman. However I'm not sure how that would impact Rocky since they play the same position. So it's probably not going to happen.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

I'm going to eat crow now. ESPN is reporting that Arrington, Carlos Emmons, and Luke Petigout have all been released. That means that the Giants enter the offseason without two starting OLBs, a starting LT, a starting HB, or anyone of note at DT. Wow, and I thought we had holes.

Why put incentives in there? He will be lucky to make a roster next year. Anyone who gives him a shot is doing him a favor.

He shouldn't have burnt this bridge before he left. He never looked right in Blue.

I am more interested in Petigout.

Well he did burn his bridges. That is true.

[QUOTE=Grim21Reaper;276895]I am more interested in Petigout.[/QUOTE]

Petigout is a good starting LT and will not accept a backup role or backup pay. Thus, he is not in the Redskins plans.

The Giants have a GM so I'm sure they have a plan in place. They are not as poorly run as we are. But they have some work to do.

Re: Giants Cut Arrington, Emmons, and Petigout
 

Thanks for the link.

As for bringing LaVar back - even for a try-out - Dear Lord!!!

Will the LaVar worshippers ever stop? He had a shot, blew it and then showed his true colors (Q: "Who is the worst coach you ever played for?" A: "Joe Gibbs" (I saw the clip - he didn't hesitate even a beat before saying it)). LaVar hates the Skins and they probly don't like him all that much either. Why bring back the drama queen?

In one sense, both LaVar and Ramsey were two of kind - we Skins fans held them in much higher esteem then the rest of the league.

Re: Giants Cut Arrington, Emmons, and Petigout
 

Also, the Petitgout cut is good for us even if we don't sign him. Todd Wade did a fine job filling in - the more tackles on the market, however, the cheaper he becomes for us to resign.

Re: Giants Cut Arrington, Emmons, and Petigout
 

I agree, put a fork in Lavar he's done! Todd Wade did do a heck of a job.

Re: Giants Cut Arrington, Emmons, and Petigout
 

What if we brought Back Lavar, and Smoot. We would look just like the Eagles. Let out guys go, they fail, bring them back on the cheap side.

Re: Giants Cut Arrington, Emmons, and Petigout
 

Cant the mods put people here who want to bring lavar back in a 'time-out'? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

Lavar is no longer talented. The giants cut him for a reason...

He's an over-zealous washed out linebacker who's had his shmorgusboard of physically debilitating injuries. He won't ever have a season close to those in his prime and has lost several steps.

I pray we don't get him.

Smoot is over-rated... but he's probably better than alot that's out there. We're really in bad shape on defense, and this has to be a very smart off-season.

No more Archuletta-esque moves. I'm hoping we trade down and fill as many holes as possible, because there are plenty of them.
