Jon Beason traded to the Giants?

GiantsBRFan : 10/3/2013 11:09 pm
That's the rumor of the night on Twitter and several beat writers from the Panthers are confirming he's get traded but don't know to who or for what.

The rumor is Nicks and a fifth rounder for Beason?  
Anakim : 10/3/2013 11:13 pm : link
So our starting WR for a guy who was benched?


BWAHAHAHAA. Yeah, ok.
Let me guess  
BlueHurricane : 10/3/2013 11:13 pm : link
Incarcerated Bob is the source?
I haven't seen it from any of the Giants  
pjcas18 : 10/3/2013 11:13 pm : link
beat writers.
he was benched for Chase Blackburn  
chris r : 10/3/2013 11:13 pm : link
...
when chase blackburn beats you on the depth chart  
Neverend : 10/3/2013 11:14 pm : link
and everyone in Carolina is questioning your career at this point, the guy has trade value.

im guessing its for a 7th round pick.

wow, what a fall from earth for this guy and his injuries. So that's keith rivers and now jon beason. Reeks of desperation, so much for the great keith rivers huh?

A guy who was benched for Chase Blackburn. Right! Maybe just a 5th
Like I said just a rumor for the time being but who knows...  
GiantsBRFan : 10/3/2013 11:16 pm : link
These two is were I saw this and looks to me more reliable guys.

Rflairr : 10/3/2013 11:16 pm : link
couldn't even afford Beason's ridiculous contract.
Those are legit sources for the Panthers  
Rflairr : 10/3/2013 11:18 pm : link
I travel there once a month, so I know that.

But I don't see how the Giants fit his contract under the cap. Unless this is what they went to Snee for
he  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 10/3/2013 11:22 pm : link
tore his Achilles in 2011 and has been struggling with his return from microfracture surgery.
If true, his contract is minimal.  
MOOPS : 10/3/2013 11:22 pm : link
We'd inherit 3/4 of a million for this year only. Might be worth a conditional 7th.

he

got benched after getting exposed in coverage against the Bills.
He restructured his contract  
Larry in Pencilvania : 10/3/2013 11:24 pm : link
as MOOPS said his contract is minimal plus it's also voidable at the end of the season. I believe we already have Beason on the roster, his name is Keith Rivers
where does anyone  
pjcas18 : 10/3/2013 11:24 pm : link
see Nicks and a 5th?

the money definitely doesn't work if this trade is to the Giants unless the Giants are sending David Baas back.

Now we have a Jay Glazer confirmation

Beason  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 10/3/2013 11:25 pm : link
was excellent before the injuries. But I'm not sure he could pass a physical.

Reporting about the rumors of Beason to the giants, but no mention of Nicks

Panthers source says they are working a trade that would send pro bowl LB Jon Beason to the Giants, who sorely need defensive help

Tim in Eternal Blue : 10/3/2013 11:26 pm : link
Just confirmed this.

What does he have left in the tank... Was a beast a few years back
No way for Nicks  
Giantfootball025 : 10/3/2013 11:27 pm : link
Makes zero sense. You'd think NIcks is worth more then a backup often injured LB.
Beason WAS vastly superior to Rivers  
Tim in Eternal Blue : 10/3/2013 11:27 pm : link
Not sure about now...
The Nicks part is false  
moespree : 10/3/2013 11:27 pm : link
Because if it's not Reese should be fired on the spot.
hey panthers, one last thang before we get this trade thru  
Neverend : 10/3/2013 11:27 pm : link
Can y'all take this here keith rivers fellar please? Thanks in advance!
He's been  
pjcas18 : 10/3/2013 11:27 pm : link
terrible and is on his 3rd ACL and has torn an achilles.

He's terrell thomas and andre brown rolled into one.
If Glazer is saying it, there's got to be something to this.

Why would they put  
Rflairr : 10/3/2013 11:28 pm : link
Nicks in this deal? Getting Beason means they're not giving up. Not sure they can afford to give up Nicks, if they aren't giving up on the season.

@JayGlazer: Late round compensation being discussed in exchange for Beason
Face value, this sounds pretty desperate on the Giants part  
armsteadeatslittlekids : 10/3/2013 11:28 pm : link
Not that we aren't desperate. Just can't find anything good about Beason's health/play.
If we give up a 5th round or lower  
AnotherGiantsFan : 10/3/2013 11:29 pm : link
I'm slamming my face to the keyboard. Using a 6th or 7th is fine by me.
No reason to give up  
moespree : 10/3/2013 11:29 pm : link
When the NFC East is as pathetic as it is.
This fits in perfectly with Jerry's proclivity  
Exit 172 : 10/3/2013 11:29 pm : link
for injured, underperforming, cheap, essentially useless linebackers.
im baffled that nicks and a 5th was mentioned  
Neverend : 10/3/2013 11:29 pm : link
post like that frustrate me so much to the point where I ignore it. Just an absolutely ridiculous suggestion you almost have to lie to yourself and say the poster is joking with himself. Its the only way

that I can live with.
given who he got benched for  
chris r : 10/3/2013 11:29 pm : link
and the Giants track record with LBs, I'm not optimistic.

Also, I guess this doesn't say much for the dude the picked up from Seattle.
I was going to say,  
Dave in Hoboken : 10/3/2013 11:30 pm : link
no way they would trade Nicks for Beason.
Sounds like he's been a Giant for a while.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 10/3/2013 11:30 pm : link
Johnsons catch was one of five that Bills rookie quarterback EJ Manuel completed in five attempts throwing to receivers covered by Beason, according to Pro Football Focus. The completions went for 112 yards, including 87 yards after the catch.

Johnson gained 35 yards after his catch against Beason.

People can look into stats all they want to, Beason said. I know Ive got to play better, and thats what it boils down to.

Beason blamed poor technique and biting on play fakes for some of his coverage issues. He also conceded his knee is giving him problems.

Late round compensation  
pjcas18 : 10/3/2013 11:30 pm : link
might make sense. If I understand NFL trade rules right, all that would be left on his deal is salary and the Giants could cut him without any dead cap space after the season.

He's got like 10M capt hits in 2014 and 2015
Lavar Arrington, Keith Rivers, Aarron Curry and Jon Beason  
Larry in Pencilvania : 10/3/2013 11:31 pm : link
ALL CRAP!!

Why can't the Giants make a real investment in quality linebackers?
Contract info  
Ten Ton Hammer : 10/3/2013 11:32 pm : link
Beason, 28, agreed to a $4.25million pay cut this year in a restructured deal, but he can recoup $1.75million if he is active for all 16 games. Beasons new contract voids after this season, meaning this could be his final year in Carolina.

Will Allen/Peterson : 10/3/2013 11:34 pm : link
Trading any draft pick for a 3/4 of a season rental when you're 0-4 is strange. It's even stranger when the player you're looking to acquire is so severely depleted by injury that he's been beaten out by Chase Blackburn.

Beason was a truly great player at his peak, but this doesn't make any sense. It's not like we'll be giving up much, but it's still a head-scratcher.
Another desperation move.

jcn56 : 10/3/2013 11:35 pm : link
I like the use of 'Pro-Bowl LB'. You know, like Pro-Bowler Chris Snee. Both were Pro-Bowlers at one point, neither one is sniffing it now.
you get  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 10/3/2013 11:35 pm : link
seven draft picks. Each one is valuable. This is a dumb move.
