Everybody here assumes the simplest thing. That whoever offers the most money gets the player no matter what. The fact is that other factors often have just as much influence. We don't know that the Packers offered less money, it sounds to me like they at least matched, if not surpassed the money offered by the Giants but Arrington wanted to play the Redskins twice a year and respected the defensive coordinator of the Giants. He also is probably more at home at a big market like New York.
