Arrington Tells Packers No

[Dog Face Gremlins211 0]

AP reports the Green Bay Packers made a play for free-agent LB LaVar Arrington, but it appears it wasn't enough. According to a National Football League source, the Packers were informed Friday that Arrington planned on signing with another team. It appears Arrington is going to land with the New York Giants, who emerged as the leader for the linebacker's services this week. All along, Arrington made it a point to say he wanted to play in the NFC East where he would be able to play against his old team, the Washington Redskins, twice a year. Miami, Cincinnati and Jacksonville were involved earlier in the negotiations with Arrington, but the Giants had shown the most interest of late. Negotiations between the Giants and Arrington were still going on Friday night, and barring a breakdown a deal is expected to be completed. The Packers were hoping to lure Arrington to Green Bay with a solid contract offer and from all indications were in the running until the end. But the uncertainty of not having a decision from QB Brett Favre on his status for next season might have affected Arrington's decision. Arrington said after his visit to Green Bay that he wanted to know whether Favre would be coming back and hoped to speak with him. It's unclear whether the Packers offered more money than the Giants.

May be the best FA none signing for the Packers this year.

 

They needed a player, not a celebrity for this team.

 

I think the giants defense just took a step backward.

he simply used the packers to make the giants antsy and jealous.
