Indications on Friday night were that linebacker LaVar Arrington was on the verge of signing with the New York Giants, meaning the Packers will lose out on the highest-profile free agent they entertained this offseason. Arrington, who visited the Packers last week, was believed to have narrowed his choices to the Giants and Packers. On Thursday, he made a second visit to New York, where he took a physical for the Giants? team doctors. On Friday, significant progress was made in Arrington?s negotiations with the Giants. Arrington was reportedly seeking a multi-year contract that averaged $7 million per season.
