twenty-eight Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 pft.com POSTED 3:47 p.m. EST, February 12, 2007 GIANTS CHOP THREE A league source tells us that the New York Giants have cut linebacker LaVar Arrington, offensive tackle Luke Petigout, and running back Chad Morton. More to come. ----- Wow. guess we'll have to wait for confirmation from a legit source, right? http://www.giants.com/news/eisen/story.asp?story_id=24345 GIANTS DUMP EMMONS, NOT MORTON Well, two out of three ain't bad. We reported a little while ago that the Giants had cut linebacker LaVar Arrington, left tackle Luke Petitgout, and running back/kick returner Chad Morton. As it turns out, the trio of now-former Giants is Arrington, Petitgout, and linebacker Carlos Emmons. "These are difficult decisions," Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said, according to the team's official web site. "But as [G.M.] Jerry [Reese] and I looked at the roster, they are decisions we felt we had to make as we start to compose our team for the upcoming season. Luke has been a tough competitor here, and he was really playing well before his injury last season. Carlos gave us everything he had, but his injuries the last couple years kept him from being the kind of player we know he is. LaVar was only here a short time, but as a coach, I couldn't have asked for more from a veteran player in terms of his desire and his enthusiasm." So Chad Morton's career in New York is still alive. We apologize for the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I would trust PFT about as much as trusting a cheating spouse. I guess it could happen, but I'd be more than skeptical until hearing it from elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IONTOP Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 If you cut Lavar's legs off he'd still be the best LB in the league!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntotoro Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 cuts like those, wouldnt they be more likely in june for cap reasons? Unless they have some kind of roster bonus due which makes it cheaper to cut them now. I don't know the details of their contracts, though.

CPortJGibbs89 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 well, as long as he doesnt wind up with the cowboys or somethingIf Dallas is dumb enough to take him that is... he might give them our playbook as well. It looks like Lavar's career is coming to an end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the details of their contracts, though. thats what I was thinking, but wasnt lavars contract all incentives? I guess a roster bonus could be considered an incentive(try and make it back), but I thought that all the money in lavars contract was all on the field.

cyfar Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Yeah, i'll have to wait until I have more details for another source. I would be shocked if LA got the axe so quickly, though. He started to come into his and and then he got hit with the Achilles injury. That's the story of his carreer I guess. I'm not so shocked about Chad Morton getting cut. It was only a matter of time seeing as how they have Sinorice now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
