Lavar and Giants agree on deal

[Hail2em]

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.

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
Sat, 22 Apr 2006 15:21:36 -0700

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.

Good Ridance. Some true Redskin! As much as he talked team, He always seemed to make statements at just the wrong time to disrupt things. All he really cared about was the money. Don't wine about him being gone. We'll be better without him. Let him get burned on the Gaints.

[Giantone]

I don't like it , as I've said before he can't and won't stay healthy .Even when he is he's not that good,and awful lot of very good defensive coachs have tried to work with him and failed .We should have moved up to get Hawk or Carpenter and bring in Harry Carson to coach them!

[ChickenMonkey]

Hell of a LB, too bad the knee injury has slowed him down though,,,
he's only a threat on 1st and 2nd down.. why not pick up Ahmad Brooks in the supplamental draft and we'd forget all about #56

[dblanch66]

If he wasn't good enough for Gibbs, he's not good enough for me. He can talk all he wants about playing against the Skins twice etc, etc, but he'll also feel a deep pang of sadness watching us raise the Lombardi trophy while he sits at home with ice packs on his knees.

I wish Arrington all the luck when he's playing the cowboys and eagles but when he plays the skins, I hope his roof catches fire.
