oh god. now for all the bring back lavar posts

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

How long untill someone suggests we pick him up....

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

Sign Lavar!?!?!

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

If true then the decision to dump him looks more and more prudent doesn't it? Wonder if the Lavar apologists will show up and spin this one.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

#56fanatic, WHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEERE AAAAAAAAARE YOOOOU? :D

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

No effin way!!!

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

I think it's safe to say that neither Lavar or Chad Morton will be back here anytime soon.

Petitigout would be solid line depth, but I don't think theres ANY prayer we can get him cheaply.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

hey why dont we sign lavar and move him to strong safety

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

[QUOTE=Big C;276817]hey why dont we sign lavar and move him to strong safety[/QUOTE]

Or MLB.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

Sorry, I'll be the first guy to welcome back LaVar with open arms if he's recovering well. Lindsey is gone, Arrington would probably like to be back, Arrington knows the system (or at least is supposed to). He's a marked upgrade over anyone we have on the roster opposite Washington.

I think a bigger question is who in the hell would the Giants get if they cut Petigout? He was their best pass protector and LTs don't grow on trees.

:tongue

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

I'll believe it when I see a link from the team.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

I say we sign Lavar and move him to MLB, he has lost a little explosion but is still strong as an ox and can man the middle, plus no more Dale Lindsey

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

LaVar isn't coming back... if the Giants are so quick to be cutting him loose that tells me his injury problems are a major concern, just as some of us thought when we let him go.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

That Danny, what a prankster! that must be why all the contract redo's!!!

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

One more interesting fact: since these guys were cuts, they can sign somewhere anytime between now and next season. We (the NFL, not the Redskins) could have a big FA splash in February.

I'm still skeptical of the report (it is PFT). I'm guessing bullsh-t, but maybe PFT will prove me wrong.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

The man ripped The Gibbs by saying that he was the worst coach that he ever played for. He won't be back in Burgundy and Gold,...but just for the heck of it !


BRING BACK LAVAR !!!!!! I NEED HIM AND HIS 99 PLAYER RATING AT DE !!!!!!

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

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

wow, if true, I could see Lavar retiring. If he wants to play, he's gonna have to sign at bargain basement price, maybe vet min.
I'd love to see him come back, but it ain't happenin.
How about signing Petigout for depth? I'm really surprised they would cut him, maybe his injury is pretty bad.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

why would they cut petigout? and morton's been pretty good for them.

I'll wait for a confirm on this one.

hahah...god If someone told me that I wouldnt think they were kidding at this point!

Lavar is good but, I could care less wether he comes back. Good player, yes. Injury prone, yes. Big mouth, yes. Bad attitude, YES. He has the skills but do we REALLY want him? Agreed, he would be an improvement over a lot of ppl we have on the roster now but, screw Lavar. Especially after he talked all that smack last year. Petitgout is quality but, as hard as it is to say, I dont think we have the cheddar or cap space. Morton is good but he's old news. We dont have another place for a friggin punt returner.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

we should fire gibbs and make lavar the head coach

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

The last thing we need to do is sign any of these guys. Lavar's knee is probably shot - we need youth, not a banged up linebacker who has been in the league for 7 years. Petitgot is a 8 year veteran who is banged up - I'll take my chances on a lesser known healthy lineman. And Chad Morton is not needed at all as we already have ARE and more than enough at RB even with the departure of Duckett.

All 3 are coming off injuries

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

Not that I am advocating bringing back LeVar because I'm not but didn't Eagles fans all say Jeramiah Trotter was done in Philly and didn't he and the organizatiuon part ways pretty bitterly?

Stranger things have happened. I just hope that Soap Opera is over in Washington.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

If he can't walk or run he is no better than I would be. I would cost a lot less and wold even get water for the guys if they needed some.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

For all those waiting heres the NY Giants website reporting:

February 12, 2007
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants today began the offseason restructuring of their roster when they released three veterans, offensive tackle Luke Petitgout and linebackers Carlos Emmons and LaVar Arrington.
Two of the players are former first-round draft choices (Petitgout by the Giants, Arrington by the Washington Redskins). Petitgout has played his entire career with the Giants. Arrington spent one season in New Jersey after six years in the nation’s capital. Emmons played four years in both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia before spending the last three seasons with the Giants.
Petitgout and Arrington had their 2006 seasons ended prematurely because of injury, while Emmons missed four games with a pectoral injury.

the rest is here(I didn't see anything about Morton): [url=http://www.giants.com/news/eisen/story.asp?story_id=24345]Michael Eisen - Story - 2.12 Giants Release Petitgout, Emmons and Arrington - Giants.com[/url]

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

The only good thing Lavar ever did was lay the wood on Troy Aikman. Other than that, he was a huge disapointment!

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

I think Lavar should retire. If he continues to play he will either injure himself further or become a laughingstock. He couldn't run well before the last injury and he will be worse if he tries to come back.

Now that is the stupidest post I have seen in a long time.

[quote=firstdown;276867]Now that is the stupidest post I have seen in a long time.[/quote]

It was the "stupidest" if you took it seriously, of course I felt terrible that a great player like Troy Aikman (even if he did play for the Cowboys) career had to end like that. Sometimes you have to step back and say, "now is this guy joking or is he serious." That, my friend, was a joke. Sorry to offend at all. Also, sorry to come off as a smart aleck, prick.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

they might have the right idea...cutting dead wood that is

No not the part about Akiman (I'm fine with that ) The part about the only thing he did for us part was stupid. Like him or not, he did provide this team with some great plays while he was here and to say other wise is just stupid in my opinion.

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

[quote=FRPLG;276818]Or MLB.[/quote]

I always thought Lavar would have made a great MLB. But

Re: Lavar Arrington and Chad Morton cut by Giants?
 

better DE than MLB...he was too undisciplined to be a solid MLB

Of course it does. He and Danny Boi don't like each other from the contract dispute.
