Man LA is proven all us nay sayers right!

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.

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?

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.

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.

With that said the injury he suffered last year may be what his knee needed in more rest to get it healthy. I'm no doctor but it would make sense and some team is going to sign him to some kind of contract. I think it does make the move last year to let him go look much better. Everyone was saying it was a dumb move but he woulld have been on our roster for two years sitting on the bench.

We need players, not problems. LA became more distraction than player. Obviously, it isn't working out in NY either. Let the cast-offs go elsewhere

As much as I like LA, I don't want to see him back. Too many cameras, too many comments.

It probably would have been easier if LaVar would have ever admitted he was hurt. Instead, it was always a conspiracy by the coaches to keep him down.

By the way, I thought our front office was the worst ever and was a complete disaster for failing to keep guys like Smoot, LaVar, and Ramsey. So now LA is cut, Ramsey (after getting ass splinters all season long) probably won't be back with the Jets, and Smoot could be gone as well after making his biggest "splash" on a boat with the Vikings.

Very good point. Let's hope the players will recognize that, and the perception of us neglecting "core" guys is changed.

Now, if we could just keep our draft picks!

Very good points, Taf.

In hindsight, these were all good moves. For every bad move we bitch about, there are probably two good ones they have made.

No no. Our front office is the worst in the league. Every move we make blows up in our face and clearly no one knows what they are doing. On top of that we have to rebuild each year because we don't handle the cap well at all. Time to bring in a GM. Any GM will do just as long as he is called a GM. A GM will solve everything. Yes a GM is what we need. I think I'll apply since all we need is a real GM. I wonder if we find a guy with the initials GM if he'll be doubly good at fixing everything? I mean he'll be the GM so he'll will obviously be able to fix everything like a magician but if he has GM initals he may be able to do it even better than just a regular old magical GM.

And if he drives a GM, he could rule the world! What if he survived a bout with German Measles, only to win a Gold Medal for his Grossly Malformed Gluteus Maximus?
