Lavar and Giants agree on deal

[dmek25]

grim,alot of times i dont agree with some of your posts but you couldnt have nailed this one any better.this might be a good way to lock and close this thread and say goodbye to lavar(forever?)

I think LaVar will go to NY and have a very good year. He's had a full year to re-hab and reflect. New system, new perspective. People may say, well he didn't flourish here like he was supposed to. Who could with what, five defensive coordinators? And still he managed three Pro-Bowls?

Whether people take LaVar's side or the coaches side, he's still a tremendous talent. No denying that. And I for one, wouldn't bet on him having a mediocre year or getting burned on plays.

Bottom-line, we'll have to just wait until October on this one. If I were a betting man, I would put my money on LaVar to have a good season.

I think they got the whole signals thing cleared up by the 2nd meeting last year with NY.

Things will probably change more with Saunders on board, so I wouldn't worry about it that much.

I'm just surprised that the Giants broke the bank for him.

The deal really isn't what it's cracked up to be.

Sounds like it's more like a deal that will average $3M-$5M per year depending on what incentive triggers he hits.

It's unlikely he'll hit enough to average $7M per.

Check this out, did LaVar screw himself yet again? This is from the NY Post

The way Accorsi and assistant GM Kevin Abrams structured the deal (steal?), the Giants assume virtually no risk. Given the status of the player involved, the signing bonus of $5.25 million is modest and, in terms of the salary cap, is virtually inconsequential when pro-rated over the life of the seven-year contract. The roster bonuses in the first two years of the deal are based on playing time, insuring the Giants against Arrington's right knee forcing him to the sideline.

An agent with knowledge of the contract was stunned by the numbers. "Terrible," he said when evaluating the deal from a players perspective. The Giants? "Fantastic . . . they did great," the agent said. "They were a team sitting in the perfect position."

At this point he probably didn't have much leverage to negotiate.

By the looks of his deal, seems like he was willing to take on more contractual risk just to stay in the NFC East.

The fact that he only got a $5.25 million signing bonus is astounding. He gave up $4.4 to leave Washington! Looks like he should have just restructured his contract and played for half as much...

I used to be disgusted. Now I'm just amused

Might just keep it to piss some people off. Maybe we can get someone to fill the jersey. We forgot about Champ pretty quick w/ the way springs is playing. Maybe the next 56 can get us to forget about LaVar?

I'm sure that won't be difficult, he's been an afterthought around Redskins Park for the last two years.

I can tell Daryl Elite and I share similar comedic stylings. LOLZ!!!!1

[Daryl Elite]

Yeah, that'd be cool if we got a "new and improved" #56... True about Champ and Springs, definitely. You could also probably get an admin to move your posts over to another account...
