Owners to vote today

The owners will vote today on the CBA proposal. Paul Tagliabue has gotten personally involved and delivered a passionate speech to the owners to get them to agree to some kind of deal. Read about it here. Read Nick Eatman's take on it here.

Scout.com brings up the possibility of the Cowboys pursuing Lavar Arrington (sub. required), saying several sources have told them the Cowboys are interested. They remain skeptical though - as do I - because Arrington will probably command big money and has some baggage in his past. Here's a quote they attribute to Mike Wilbon.

It could happen. And several published reports have already indicated the Cowboys are indeed interested in talking with Arrington about the possibility.

Michael Wilbon of the Washington Post and ESPN's Pardon the Interruption, suggested as much in his column Tuesday:

A jersey with No. 56 on it may not mean all that much to the Redskins. But my bet is a certain coach named Parcells got a big 'ol Texas smile on his mischievous face when he heard the news that Arrington was a free agent. Oh, No. 56 means something to Coach Parcells, I promise you.

Interesting!!!!

I read somewhere yesterday that Arrington wanted to remain in the NFC east but ruled out the Cowboys. I'm not sure I would take a run at Arrington, after reading what Coach Gibbs had to say about him after the buy out. I still think that Lavar is a head case thats been overated since coming out of college, he has the tallent but just wants to free lance far to much on the field and think he's better suited for the 4-3 than the 3-4 and with the good core of linebackers coming out this year, I think we can get a younger cheaper player to play outside.I think you might see Lavar heading to Philly, just my opinion.

Just speculation

I think they are definitely looking at Arrington, but I don't believe he will actually be signed. For the reasons Deke mentions above. Plus he's going to cost a lot of $$$ and its too big a gamble. I think he ends up with the Giants.
