Giants Sign Arrington
The Giants made a huge improvement on their entire defense by signing all pro linebacker Lavar Arrington allowing the Giants to turn their first round dratft needs to a quality corner or safety. Arrington had spent the last six years with the Washington RedSkins.
"We needed a big, power player to add to our defense and LaVar Arrington is that," said general manager Ernie Accorsi. "He has a presence about him and he makes us a better football team. The agreement we came to is a fair deal for the player and a fair deal for the organization.. We came to an agreement that achieves what everybody wants: the player being rewarded for performance. Which is exactly what LaVar and the Giants wanted."
Arrington has 67 tackles (335 solo), 22.5 sacks, 11 forced fumbles, seven fumble recoveries and three interceptions for his career and made the pro bowl three years in a row from 2001-2003.
