LB HELP

[b bulldog]

The agent for Lavar Arrington has said that the Packers are in a strong position to land the LB. Chris Roth on WBAY, TV 2 NEWS just reported.

I didn't even know we were interested.

Holy crap!!

Awesome. Bulldog if you're yankin my chain I may have to punch you right in the babymaker

I'm an Arrington skeptic.

He wants big bucks. We could get a couple of the medium priced guys that have been discussed on here for what LaVar would cost.

Check his numbers, he had one big year, the rest of his time he's been hurt and played spotty. Let's pass and get some guards and other needed help.

1 yr contract. Thats probably what they will do.

[SkinBasket]

I like him. He's got the look of a killer with no soul, but he speaks with intelligence and clarity. How many guys - even nominal starters - would have handled the situation in DC with as much poise and patience as he did last year? Not many - if any. We've got the money. Use it.

[MadtownPacker]

Damn! Hell yeah!

Tarlam called this since last season almost. He is gonna talk smack!

[Harlan Huckleby]

it ain't news till he's signed.

excuse my cynacism.

[Guiness]

Here's the link.

So, did he visit, or not? You guys are all staking out the airport, right?

Of course, according to WBAY, the WWE heavyweight champion was also in town. At least that was confirmed.

I'm not biting on this one. So the agent says "the Packers are in a strong position to land" the LB." Of course they are. Just like they're in a strong position to land Charles Woodson, Ty Law or any other FA still out there....because they have $19 million dollars of cap room, the most of any team.

Sounds to me like a leveraging tatic by the agent to the NFC East and Florida teams LaVarr is reportedly interested in joining.

Sorry for my skeptism, but as I noted when there was pursuit of Adam Vinateri and Charles Woodson...I'll believe it when I see it (as in signed).

[Fosco33]

Let's play the IF game... if the Pack picks up LA, who does TT draft? Best case, trade down with Denver (picking up two 1st rounders) and get some offensive weapons. Thoughts?

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'm with Harlan. Didn't we hear the same thing about Vinatieri and Woodson?

[Deputy Nutz]

It would be neat if this story meant a hill of beans. I will believe it when I hear TT talk about signing Lavar, I think it is a ploy by Arrington and his agent to get Miami to pony up some more cash.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I think it's a ploy also. I refuse to get myself attached to any possible signee--since we've been toyed with all offseason. It would be interesting to know if Arrington was really that excited or if that's just a load of crap.
