NFC East: Lavar Arrington closer to becoming a Giant?

Quick update on LA.

Around and around we go, where we’ll stop nobody knows.


Lavar Arrington was scheduled to meet with the Cincinnati Bengals today, but plans fell through according to Bengals.com.

“LaVar and I got our wires crossed,” Poston said Thursday. “He has been making visits and been on the road a lot. I still think it’s a visit that could happen at some point.”

I’ve been told (but cannot confirm) that Arrington was in fact in New York yesterday, once again meeting with the Giants. I’ve also been told the Giants have raised their initial offer to Arrington but was not given exact money figures. (I didn’t think the Giants would outbid themselves, but would not be surprised at the same time.)

One of the other teams expected to make a run for Arrington was the Miami Dolphins. But according to Miami.com the Dolphins will not be able to match Arrington’s price tag, and are unlikely to sign him.

Finally, it looks like the Giants are waiting for a resolution to this Arrington fiasco before they make any future free agent moves. It appears as if they are holding off on other free agents so that they are sure they can afford Arrington.
