What we really will save is future Cap space and we won't have to worry about the risk of his knees going bad. He may be great for the Giants, but there is a risk associated.
That said, I thought this comment from one of the Poston brothers was humorous in its absurdity: "It came down to LaVar feeling most comfortable going to a good team in a familiar division with a defensive coordinator that he loves," Poston said.
No, it came down to the Giants being willing to dole out the cash! Arrington took the Giants deal b/c of the money. If the Dolphins had offered similar money, we had as equal a shot as the Giants. I'm sure those intangibles w/ the Giants did play a part - but, a very small part.
It would really be refreshing to hear a player, just once, say, "You know what? The reason I signed here and not there is because they offered me a better contract and that's why I'm here." There are exceptions to this, no doubt. But, by and large, that's the issue.
