no...just take away the 4.4 million from the cap penalty he would get from us

He was gonna get over 12 million from us, now hes getting less than 8 million

LaVar=Garbage....just another NFC East recycable player

Lavar is an excellent LB when healthy. Why deny that? He didn't get along with Lindsey and Williams, and he bought out his contract for 4 mil, so that's that. I'd rather have him in some other division, and I don't like the giants getting better on D, which it's hard to deny that they have. But this is the NFL--every week you have to play good teams with good players.

The main issue is health--weird that he wouldn't take the physical and all, and then they said "good enough"...

Wonder how that nasty field at giants stadium will affect his health?

Maybe Portis can run for 200 yds against NY the way Emmitt did against us when Lavar was here. Besides , we should have no problem converting 3rd and short , lets face in Lavar NEVER made a stop on short yardage when he was in Burgandy and Gold . Never made a sack on 3rd down either .

no really subtract the 6 million that he thinks is in the contract but isn't

My opinion is i dont think Lavar is going to be all that in NY. Honesly i see he getting hurt again. I think hhe had his best years before he got hurt.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Lets not worry about this guy anymore, hes hurt and he never recovered from his injury. I could see it when he was running. He isnt nearly as fast anymore and he makes dumb mistakes. If he thought Dale Lindsay was bad wait til he plays for Tom "dont be late" Coughlin.

But in the end though, dont you guys think we are creating history here. I mean TO to the boys and LA to the Giants. This is going to be one exciting story line filled season, and I cant wait.

Lavar Arrington will be wearing number 55, check out the roster on the Giants website.

[Prop13]

It could have been worse--he might have gone to the Cowboys.

...but he wouldn't have gone to the Cowboys. So this is about as bad as this could have played out.

Hopefully we can find something else to talk about around here now.

Honestly, I really don't see Lavar finishing the year healthy as so many of you have mentioned. Due to the toughness of the schedule and weather conditions, his durability will diminish. This signing was an act of desperation and embarrassment. Joe Gibbs has more credibility than people are willing to admit and rumors soared about Arrington's attitude in the locker room. I won't be wearing his jersey again wishing he and Pierce good riddance.

Giants | More on Arrington deal

ESPN.com's John Clayton reports agent Kevin Poston didn't say how much was guaranteed in LB LaVar Arrington's contract, but New York Giants general manager Ernie Accorsi indicated that it includes performance bonuses. To get the $7 million-per-year, Arrington and the Giants agreed to load the deal with incentives. Arrington, who will get a $5.25 million signing bonus, will receive a base salary worth around $3.7 million a year. With reachable incentives, Arrington can make $5 million a year and with maximum performance, he can take the deal to $49 million if he completes the seven years of his contract.


that's $9-10.25mill this year

How is he ever gonna make it with these higher gas prices?!?!?!

He gone. Out of sight out of mind for me.

Good luck and all but...buh-bye

Can we stop arguing about the same old crap, about if LaVar is good in our eyes, bc he left, and whatnot. Its over ppl stop going on and on about how he didnt love the skins, sheez you guys are acting like you just got dumped by Kelly in the 6th grade, bringing up how she didnt love you ever living minute. The issue at hand right now is, LaVar's new deal, its terms, etc. He was a good player for us, tried hard, good guy for the fans and community, did LOVE the skins, had trouble with the handful of coaches over the years, and left bc of the conflicts that came up in his situation that were not all HIS fault. We all know what happened was for the best (damn now even I sound like your best bud conforting you after you got dumped), so just let it freaking go.

I am quoting my own post, bc you guys need to end this LaVar bitching crap, it really is lame. I understand if you talk bout him, his salary, how he did hear, etc, but quit complaining about him, its like people revolve around him here. Biggest bunch of hypocrites in this thread, because you all are saying im sick and tired of this LaVar talk, this and that, but then next post you guys are bitching about how he was all about the money....
