Whitfield retired yesterday, too -- probably a day before he was gonna be cut, anyway. Or head-butted. And as predicted, Tim Carter is also on the bubble. I left myself some wiggle room above, but I guess I was incorrect on Arrington's money. I had remembered a big signing bonus, but I thought the yearly salary was fairly reasonable, but with a lot of incentives built in. Chris,

I left myself some wiggle room above, but I guess I was incorrect on Arrington’s money. I had remembered a big signing bonus, but I thought the yearly salary was fairly reasonable, but with a lot of incentives built in.

Maybe he was an iron wall, but he was an iron wall cost the team about 100 penalty yards a season.

They need OL help else they will need to draft a lineman in the first or 2nd round and they still need a RB, CB, etc... SHould make your job more interesting...I also assume that the back and his age 30 + made him too much of a risk.. If they do not sign O'Hara then they will need 2 new starters on the O line, that is alot... Ernie thanks for the input.... They can get Briggs and at least 1 other stud with that money…

The line worries me, though. Diehl is a natural guard who held his own at left tackle for a short period. Don't know if I'd want him there over the long run. But there's not much in free agency, unless somebody shakes loose in some other teams' cuts. Stuart:

I guess the line will be; Diehl(LT) Seubert (LG) Ohara (C)Snee (RG) and McKenzie (RT). How is this line??? They need to get some depth.... With these subtractions what is the Giant cap room??

He STILL Thinks he's all pro. He's not worth 49 over 7. Arrington’s problem has been his head not a tendon. He STILL Thinks he’s all pro. He’s not worth 49 over 7.

But it didn't sound like they wanted to. Could be afraid of his back problems, an on-going issue for years. Stuart:

Whitfield should deifnitely be let go also. can they resign Pettigout at a lower amount?

LT, RB, LB, CB, C. this is going to be an interesting off-season. hopefully, somehow they can pry briggs from the bears. when i first saw the news, i was surprised at how quickly jerry reese was making his mark on the team. emmons was an obvious choice. petitgout was playing well, but i continue to have that bad taste in my mouth from his lack of discipline and false starts a few years ago. however, can’t deny the fact that eli was playing much better when luke was blocking his left side. i kinda feel for arrington because he was very media friendly and had lots of enthusiasm. too bad he got injured.

He clearly had lost it. Carl Banks even said on radio (a good line, actually) that he couldn't understand why Emmons was hurt so often...because he never saw him hit anyone. Arrington...a surprise. He didn't get big money to sign with the Giants either, unless I'm mistaken. I thought he'd get another shot, and maybe they still might bring him back. Luke Pettigout...having perhaps his best season before the injury. But he was making big bucks and might have been due to get a lot more in '07. I wouldn't be surprised if this cut was a business strategy, and that the Giants want to re-sign him soon, but for substantially less money. Like Ernie, I have no shock at all about Emmons.
