The New York Giants made three cuts on Monday, deciding to part ways with linebackers LaVar Arrington and Carlos Emmons and tackle Luke Petitgout.
Arrington was signed by the Giants to a seven-year, $49 million incentive-laden contract in April of last year. His 2006-2007 season was cut short after six games due to a torn Achilles suffered against the Dallas Cowboys on October 23rd. The 29-year old tallied 16 tackles and a sack.
Emmons spent three seasons with New York after signing with the team in 2004. He missed four games this season because of multiple injuries and played in only nine games during the 2005-2006 season. The 33-year old Emmons recorded 207 tackles in 36 games with the Giants.
Petitgout has played all eight of his NFL seasons with the Giants, helping the team advance to the Super Bowl in the 2000-2001 campaign. A broken leg stopped the 30-year old's season after nine games this year, and he was never able to return to the field.
New York is also expected to cut halfback and kick returner Chad Morton and wide receiver Tim Carter.
Potential targets for the Giants in free agency are linebackers Lance Briggs and Adalius Thomas, cornerbacks Nate Clements and Asante Samuel, and tackle Leonard Davis.
