FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TEDDY PULL THE TRIGGER

The ONLY reason I would want Arrington in GB is becasue they need to spend some money. He's probably not worth whatever he gets but if it's between wasting it or getting Arrington I'd take Arrington.

I don't think he's that good though. I'd rather have Hawk.

[MJZiggy]

There's still always Woodson if he signs in NY.

[packrulz]

It's a gamble though, the guy's a stud but is he coachable? If TT didn't sign him I'd be kind of relieved. Too independant, sound familiar?

[RashanGary]

Damn he looks fat and out of shape....I can't see him having great years.

Arrington, Barnett and Hawk should be make for a defense infinitely better, especially since the linebackers are meant to be the playmakers.

This is a guy that bought his way out of a bad situation for $4M. I have to believe that he's not going to knowingly put himself in the same situation with the coaching staff again.

He'll get a second chance somewhere. But he may not get a third.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The question I have is whether he insists on a long term deal.

[Oscar]

I thought I read somehwere that if we sign Arington, Hawk is most likely out of the picture... Hawk would be the better choice if I were in charge.. But last time I checked..I'm not. I still hope, no matter what, T.T. goes defense with the first couple of picks.

[Partial]

Well, if he signs Arrington and goes defense he'd be a fool not to go Hawk. Unless Mario was available or he traded down.

Packers out of Arrington chase
The Green Bay Packers made a play for free agent linebacker LaVar Arrington, but it appears it wasn't enough.

According to a National Football League source, the Packers were informed that Arrington planned on signing with another team. It's unclear who Arrington is going to sign with, but his visit to the New York Giants is a pretty good sign that they are in the lead for his services.

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.

The Packers were hoping to lure Arrington to Green Bay with a solid contract offer and from all indications they were in the running until the end. But the uncertainty of not having a decision from Brett Favre on his status for next season might have affected Arrington's decision.

Arrington is one of two big-name free agents the Packers have been pursuing of late. The other, cornerback Charles Woodson, remans on their radar, but they are battling the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his services. Woodson, like Arrington, is represented by Carl and Kevin Poston.

Kevin Poston, who has been handling Arrington, did not return a phone message.

Well shit.

Guess Woodson goes back on the front burner, doesn't he?

[Fosco33]

I'd rather have Woodsen and Hawk anyways. Who knows - maybe we were a bargaining chip in the whole free agent negotiations...

[Bretsky]

Did anybody really expect Arrington or Hawk anyways ? Pipe dreams with TT; we were lucky he offered Pickett the money
