For all those waiting heres the NY Giants website reporting:

February 12, 2007
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – The Giants today began the offseason restructuring of their roster when they released three veterans, offensive tackle Luke Petitgout and linebackers Carlos Emmons and LaVar Arrington.
Two of the players are former first-round draft choices (Petitgout by the Giants, Arrington by the Washington Redskins). Petitgout has played his entire career with the Giants. Arrington spent one season in New Jersey after six years in the nation’s capital. Emmons played four years in both Pittsburgh and Philadelphia before spending the last three seasons with the Giants.
Petitgout and Arrington had their 2006 seasons ended prematurely because of injury, while Emmons missed four games with a pectoral injury.

the rest is here(I didn't see anything about Morton): Michael Eisen - Story - 2.12 Giants Release Petitgout, Emmons and Arrington - Giants.com

The only good thing Lavar ever did was lay the wood on Troy Aikman. Other than that, he was a huge disapointment!

I think Lavar should retire. If he continues to play he will either injure himself further or become a laughingstock. He couldn't run well before the last injury and he will be worse if he tries to come back.

It was the "stupidest" if you took it seriously, of course I felt terrible that a great player like Troy Aikman (even if he did play for the Cowboys) career had to end like that. Sometimes you have to step back and say, "now is this guy joking or is he serious." That, my friend, was a joke. Sorry to offend at all. Also, sorry to come off as a smart aleck, prick.

No not the part about Akiman (I'm fine with that ) The part about the only thing he did for us part was stupid. Like him or not, he did provide this team with some great plays while he was here and to say other wise is just stupid in my opinion.

Of course it does. He and Danny Boi don't like each other from the contract dispute.

Lavar did not reach his full potential. But to call him a huge disappointment is ridicules. He's not in the class of Heath Shuler.

If I remember correctly didn't Trotter leave Philly on bad terms and go back to have a productive career? So why can't Lavar and Mgt throw all the BS under the rug and offer him an incentive contract? It's not like we are loaded at LB. We have one proven LB on the roster. And the FA market isn't looking so good either. 50 year old, undersized London Fletcher is not the way to go. BRING BACK LAVAR.

diehardskin2982 · 02-12-2007, 06:33 PM

I do wonder if the redskins would take him back... especially all the troubles we had this year with the Defense in his departure. Although he didn't play much, he was a leader

Because Trotter didn't have two knee surgeries and an achillies injury.

Not to rain on the parade but I have heard a hundred times that Taylor and the other guys on the defense are undisciplined. So what exactly would Lavar (even less disciplined than the group that we have now) be bringing to the table?

If he would accept a minimum deal, I would let him try out. That is it.

Warpath · 02-12-2007, 06:37 PM

Am the only one believing that Lavar is old and injury prone? I think it would be a terrible move to bring him back. I was a solid supporter of Lavar when he was here but when he ended his contract and said that he wanted out, I was done. You don't want to be here, I don't want you here. Go to San Fran, they apparently have lots of money to throw around. Although I hope they steal Stallworth from the Eagles 1st.
