Thank Lord Ted Tightwad Duke of Green Bay..

I think Teddy will have problems running a 7Eleven.

tromadz · Apr 21, 2006

good. Ive always been against the Lavar move(you can look at my posts if you suspect double talk)

This would mean we're probably getting Hawk, in my opinion.

Good job, Ted.

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.

Either read the articles you post before you post them or think a little bit before you jump to conclusions and blast "Lord Ted Tightwad". Give him a freakin' break. He can't control everything.

but Bretts indecision isnt affecting free Agency!

im not blasting brett, but the facts are becoming more clear, his indecision is affecting the team.

i wish he could take all the time he wanted without affecting the team, but he has been and continues to affect free agency.

pyledriver80 · Apr 21, 2006

Oh yeah, it's some sportswriter saying it MAY have effected the team but it MAY have been TT was to much of a tightwad.

I don't care about Arrington, either way. I will reserve comment until I see how much the Giants gave him.

Gopackgo82 · Apr 22, 2006

If the Packers were never in the running it would have been because TT was being a tightwad. We were in the running though, so he obviously made a serious attempt to sign him.

Hey douches reread it. In Silverstein's opinion it says it "might" have affected his decision. I notice you didn't mention that he has always stated that he wanted to stay in the East.

I know, but to these guys opinions are worth more than what the people involved actually say, you know, thats never true.

Even though the name calling is uncalled for, he is right.

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.

Gopackgo82 · Apr 22, 2006

I'm pretty sure I'm not blaming Brett for this. I just quoted the paragraph that stated that we were in the running until the end.

My point is that TT made a serious offer, and for reasons that TT can't control Lavar signed with another team.

I guess I can see why you would think that I was blaming Brett, but I wasn't.

DePack · Apr 22, 2006

My bad with the ****** remark Apologies to Tromadz and ahaug. I'm moving too fast from smack to non-smack.

DakotaT · Apr 22, 2006

Good point DePack! What's funny is that every time one of these clowns uses the Packers for leverage, we all jump each other and call Uncle Ted a tightwad. Who exactly this year didn't we get that we wanted. We wanted: Kampman, Pickett and Manuel. We got Taylor dirt cheap and we have Brady Popp rehabing like a madman.

I think we have the makings of a young D pissing fire. Our D-line looks stellar, if they figure out how to make up for KGB's run stuffing liability. If we add Hawk or another good linebacker in the draft, I don't think Arrington will even be thought about again.

DePack · Apr 22, 2006

I don't blame TT or Brett. I don't think he ever intended to play here.

I have a feeling the Postans are doing the same thing with Woodson.

It's ridiculous to blame either one of them for this. It irritates me that when someone doesn't get signed it immediately turns into a TT-blasting fiesta, especially when he made a legitimate effort to sign the guy.

Didn't care about time. Was going with the one that I felt had the most current update on the topic at hand. If I was wrong, I apologize.

LaVar will be a Packer.

porky88 · Apr 22, 2006

LaVar signed a 7 year deal worth up to 49 Mil and 11 mil up front. That's too much for him. GB put an offer but there was no way LaVar would of turned down that kinda money to play for the Pack. Stinks we didn't get him but on the other hand Kinda glad we didn't overpay for him.

tromadz · Apr 22, 2006

A frontloaded contract like that? yeah how could he resist.

But damn TT for not getting him..or something.

musccy · Apr 23, 2006

agreed porky...too much $$$ , but as Trom alluded to, I'm sure tt will be unnecessarily blasted for this move (or lack there of).

Seems to be official LAVAR wont be a Packer..
