I have no issue with the trade at all. For every Ahmad Bradshaw, there are a dozen guys who don't even make the practice squad.
Beason might be damaged goods, but nothing wrong with taking a flier on a 28 year old 100+ tackle a year guy (before injuries) as the Giants have no one on the roster who fits that description. To everyone feeling negative about the trade, don't get wrapped up in what the Giants are giving up. More concerning is that JR feels the need to make this move at all. I suspect this means, Williams, Rivers, and Herzlich are likely not part of the future plan. This may not surprise many, but if Beason is bring brought in because Williams (in particular) and Rivers cannot get it done, then our LBs are even worse than our worst fears. Williams was supposed to at least be a nickel and dime package LB, but he is always hurt and has been invisible this year. Rivers has just never lived up to his measureables.
Anyone think Beason is being brought in to play MLB in the base alignment?

Done deal: Jon Beason is now a Giant, per source.
Now I'd settle for the Black Unicorn of LBs.
