The Lavar Arrington free agency is finally over, as he has reached an agreement in principal with the New York Giants. It is reportedly a seven-year deal worth $49 million. Five teams had been in the running for Arrington, but the Giants took a significant step toward getting a deal done Thursday. After Arrington took and passed a physical Thursday, negotiations turned serious and had been ongoing for more than 24 hours. The Packers, Jaguars, Dolphins and Bengals had also been in the mix. Arrington's agent, Carl Poston, said the Jaguars and Packers made progress with their offers Friday, but the Giants took the lead Friday. Arrington had hoped to stay in the NFC East in order to play the Redskins two times a year. "Antonio Pierce really made a push to get the Giants to bring LaVar to New York," Poston said Friday. "It's a good fit. It would be great to have LaVar in the New York market."
