Guest oldschooler Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 [quote][size=5][b]Getting a foot in the door [/b] [/size] [size=3][b]Packers meet with Arrington[/b][/size] By TOM SILVERSTEIN tsilverstein@journalsentinel.com Posted: April 10, 2006 Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson has said he's not done in free agency and true to his word, he stuck his toe in the water with former Washington linebacker LaVar Arrington, a three-time Pro Bowl selection. Arrington, who shares the same agents as free-agent cornerback Charles Woodson, met with Packers officials Monday to discuss the possibility of playing in Green Bay. Arrington and Woodson, who visited Green Bay last week, are the two biggest names left in free agency and are both seeking a big payday. Arrington bought his way out of his Washington contract after the season, paying back $4.4 million to become a free agent, and reportedly asked for a seven-year, $54 million deal from the New York Giants. The Miami Dolphins appear to be the most interested in Arrington, but they have not been able to meet his price and so he came to see what the Packers had to say. Neither of Arrington's agents, Carl and Kevin Poston, was available for comment, but a National Football League source said Arrington visited with club officials Monday and left without a contract offer. Thompson could be using the visit to show quarterback Brett Favre that he isn't sitting on his hands in free agency, particularly in light of Favre's remarks Saturday that he thought the Packers needed to make a statement with a "Reggie White" kind of signing. But Arrington's visit was arranged a week ago before Favre made his most recent comments and it's thought the Packers have had interest in him for a while. Arrington, 27, is in the prime of his career and would give the Packers star power and leadership on a defense lacking in both areas. However, he's coming off two unproductive seasons, one because of a knee injury that sidelined him for 12 games and is an issue for some teams that are considering signing him. Last year, he fell in coach Joe Gibbs' doghouse for unspecified reasons and started only nine of the 13 games in which he played. He finished with 47 tackles, no sacks and no interceptions. Thompson needs linebackers in the worst way and Arrington, the second overall pick in the 2000 draft out of Penn State, would be able to fill either outside position. Considered one of the best athletes in the game, the 6-foot-3, 255-pound Arrington had 21½ sacks and three interceptions from 2000-'03. Aside from middle linebacker Nick Barnett, the Packers don't have anyone guaranteed a starting job or of the athletic caliber of Arrington at the position. Bringing in Arrington and Woodson is one thing, signing them is another. The Poston brothers always seek blockbuster contracts and often times get them. However, the market has thinned out and the competition for both players isn't that great and so it will be harder for them to get their asking price. In addition to the Packers, Miami, Cincinnati, Jacksonville and the Giants remain in the running for Arrington, who was scheduled to have a $12.045 million salary cap number before being released by Washington. The Packers also are considering Baltimore backup safety Chad Williams, who made a free-agent visit on Friday. Williams has played in all 64 games for the Ravens since being drafted in the sixth round in 2002. He has four sacks and eight interceptions in his career.[/quote] [url="http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=414919"]http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=414919[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest oldschooler Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 [quote][size=5][b]GIANTS STILL LOOKING FOR LINEBACKER[/b][/size] By PAUL SCHWARTZ April 11, 2006 -- Veteran linebacker Chad Brown will take a trip to see a second team after meeting last Friday with the Giants, according to Brown's agent, Peter Schaffer. The Giants have interest in signing Brown to add depth to a position depleted by the departures of Barrett Green and Nick Greisen. No substantive talks between Brown and the Giants have taken place, and it's hard to believe the Giants will offer much more than the veteran minimum for a player who has spent 13 years in the NFL and will turn 36 before the start of this season. Signing Brown would in no way impact the Giants' strategy for the upcoming NFL Draft. With the 25th overall pick, they are expected to stand pat and select the best available linebacker. [b]At the moment, the scenario involving LaVar Arrington and the Giants is a dead issue. The Giants do not have an offer on the table and would bring the former Redskins linebacker in only at modest price, which is significantly lower than the bloated contract sought by Arrington's agents. The Dolphins have made the most public noise about signing Arrington, but Miami, like most teams, is concerned about the durability of his knees.[/b][/quote] [url="http://www.nypost.com/sports/giants/62325.htm"]http://www.nypost.com/sports/giants/62325.htm[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengaldee Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 ARRINGTON PUTTING HEAT ON POSTONS? There's talk in league circles that linebacker LaVar Arrington is putting some pressure on agents Carl and Kevin Poston based on their failure to get him a long-term contract on the free-agent market. Arrington gave up $4.4 million in earned but unpaid bonus money with the Redskins in order to hit the market four months earlier than he otherwise would have. We assumed at the time that the Postons had a new deal in their back pockets that would have paid Arrington the $4.4 million, and a lot more, up front. But days have become weeks and Arrington still is waiting for someone to offer the kind of money that his agents have been demanding. The problem, as we see it, is that Arrington has unrealistic expectations -- and that the Postons have done nothing to rein him in. For example, they apparently didn't spend any time gauging the market for Arrington, possibly because they have pissed off so many teams over the years that no one is willing to give them insights as to what their guy can expect to get paid. With that information, the Postons could have gone back to Arrington and explained to him that what he wants and what he'll get are two different things. Sure, there's a chance that Arrington would have reacted negatively, and possibly would have fired them. But if they're now on track to be fired anyway, the Postons could have spent their time trying to get their other high-profile, high-expectations clients (Charles Woodson and Ty Law) under contract. Before they get new agents, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
