Anybody have an update regarding Mr. Arrington? He would be an excellent addition, and just think of our linebacking corps with him?

I doubt we sign him, but since we lost out on Peterson, I would love him as a Dolphin..

I think that Lavar is trying to get the big contract, but teams don't think he's worth it.  As free agency moves forward, these mercenary type players' value drops and they have to reconsider their worth, and try to go for the best fit for them at that point.  If the Dolphins make a move for Lavar, I hope it's down the line, where they can get him at a good price, with possile incentives.

I just know I'd love to see him land here.  I keep hearing he wants to go to the Giants, and that the Giants want him (maybe Jtex can shed some light here?).  But yeah...imagine rushing Arrington, Taylor, and Carter at, um, Tom Brady...scary...

Plus Ernie Accorsi, the GM of the Giants, is a Penn State guy, and he has an affection for Penn State guys.

Is it just me or is there a little too much hype surrounding this guy?

What are you talking about?  Last I saw Seattle is focusing in on him, but I haven't seen that he has signed anywhere.

I agree. I think its just the fact that he's a "big name" at a position that we could use help at.

IMO, there's no way Miami is going to sign this guy because his desire to get Julian Peterson money is not going to work with someone as smart as Saban.

Plus, with the contract that Peterson signed with Seattle, it's just gonna drive up Arrington's asking price.

I have a hard time believeing we still have a shot at Arrington,but From SI.com Daily Truth or rumors section....
The Giants haven't been eliminated from the LaVar Arrington chase yet, but the race is starting to get a little crowded. The ex-Redskins linebacker is planning to visit the Jacksonville Jaguars this weekend and also will make his second visit to Miami.-- New York Daily News


I've not heard of a guy making a second visit,unless there is really good shot of him signing....

I'm tryng not to read too much into this...

Who knows.... he might see Saban and the Dolphins as a winner and take less money to play for them.

Thatt was the last I heard. I heard he was going to sign 'soon', and that was last weekend.  All is real quiet on this issue since the owner's meetings started.
