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

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.

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.

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): Michael Eisen - Story - 2.12 Giants Release Petitgout, Emmons and Arrington - Giants.com

Am the only one believing that Lavar is old and injury prone? I think it would be a terrible move to bring him back. I was a solid supporter of Lavar when he was here but when he ended his contract and said that he wanted out, I was done. You don't want to be here, I don't want you here. Go to San Fran, they apparently have lots of money to throw around. Although I hope they steal Stallworth from the Eagles 1st.

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

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.

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.

Lavar did not reach his full potential. But to call him a huge disappointment is ridicules. He's not in the class of Heath Shuler.

maybe so , but Shuler never claimed to be the second coming of J. Unites ,, LA called himself the next LT and picked #56 . LT made plays in every big game they played in , ask Jacoby and the other top tackles who had to try and stop him . LA never made a big sack when we needed < minus warner > one and he never made a big stop to end a drive , in 7 years ?? I would say that is dissapointing for the 3rd pick in the draft. LA is a great athlete , not a great football player . He bitched and cryed that .. Paterno , Lewis and Williams did not know how to use his talent ,,, maybe we should believe LA ,,,,, god knows none of them have ever shown they can coach and get the best from their players . LA isthe second coming of the BOZ , not LT . !! Glad he is out of DC !!

Im not so sure about all that my friend. He made a few plays, could have made more.

a huge disapointment? I dont think so. the last two years were injury plagued seasons, the other 5 years, he was as productive as any OLB in the league. (let the ripping begin!!)

70Chip · 02-12-2007, 05:48 PM

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.
