Beason acknowledged after season he knew post-injury Giants may come calling for a contract redo. Would think he's prepared for it.

Jon Beason said yesterday he was excited to meet Steve Spagnuolo + brought up Antonio Pierce and role he played for Spags.

.@Geeeeemen I don't fault Beckham for trying to maximize his opportunities right now. I'm sure he'll get some down time the next month or so

Art Stapleton & #8207;@art_stapleton 5m5 minutes ago
Victor Cruz and Prince Amukamara are also expected in town here in the Phoenix area either today or tomorrow. Big group repping Giants.

Art Stapleton & #8207;@art_stapleton 6m6 minutes ago
Giants seen this week at Super Bowl XLIX: Weatherford, Kennard, Jennings, Beason + OBJ. Mark Herzlich also in town. Haven't seen him yet.

Art Stapleton & #8207;@art_stapleton 17m17 minutes ago
And this RT @dkarkots Wonder if they would have drafted Kennard had they sign Schofield. I imagine they'd have been playing same position

Art Stapleton & #8207;@art_stapleton 18m18 minutes ago
In no way saying Giants were wrong for calling off deal w/ Schofield. Was huge investment in unproven player. Knee had to scare them.

Art Stapleton & #8207;@art_stapleton 23m23 minutes ago
I will say this: I really liked talking to O'Brien Schofield. Insightful, articulate, seemed very grounded - Giants were on to something.

Art Stapleton & #8207;@art_stapleton 30m30 minutes ago
1 year, $730K RT @Geeeeemen: @art_stapleton what did he sign with SEA for?

Art Stapleton & #8207;@art_stapleton 31m31 minutes ago
Now O'Brien Schofield has chance to win his 2nd Super Bowl ring with Seahawks before likely hitting the market again this offseason.

Art Stapleton & #8207;@art_stapleton 35m35 minutes ago
Schofield believed Giants were perfect fit: contract (2 years, $8M), opportunity to start, his wife is NYG fan. "Things happen for reason."

Art Stapleton & #8207;@art_stapleton 38m38 minutes ago
Had great talk with Almost Giant O'Brien Schofield. He was on way to NYG facility to sign contract last March when told he failed physical

And congrats to this guy + @PilarAmukamara for their news RT @PrinceAmukamara: We are excited about our first pick!!

could Schofield

still be a possibility this year?

Wow, 3 daughters?

Good thing Eli is so cool under fire. He's gonna need it in about 15 years.

Hope Eli

Andy...

Mike in St. Louis : 1/30/2015 9:39 am : link

why would they pay for Schofield if Kennard plays the same position (according to one of these tweets) and they are happy with him (and he's cheaper)?

Seahawks dynasty still work-in-progress, so I asked some NFL icons + SB champs: Just how close are they to legendary http://shar.es/1omaRq

Art Stapleton 28 minutes ago
Remember: Jon Beason represented himself as free agent + I believe he remains his own agent. So Giants will have to come to him personally.

Yes! Knew I forgot someone. I even had a good conversation with Geoff, too. My apologies RT @RanMan2127: @art_stapleton @geoffschwartz too!

So much for my dream

of seeing Eli's kid play for the Giants

Eli should of had his nose in

eli4life : 1/30/2015 9:47 am : link

The play book last June instead of well you know. Abby must of seen the line last year and said I better get some now while I still can.
3 daughters and a wife. At least he can afford an apartment he can hide in a few days a month.

on a serious note congrats to Eli and I bet when they grow up they would be better qbs than what will be available at the time

Mike

Andy in Boston : 1/30/2015 9:51 am : link

he's more of defensive end....and he can play a few different positions. We need LB's and DE's...I wouldn't get caught up in guys playing at the same positions. Kennard can also play all the LB spots. We need as many good players as possible at every position.

Beason

area junc : 1/30/2015 9:54 am : link

is a lot like Antonio Pierce. not the most physically gifted but tough, football smart and a great vocal commander

plus u gave the guy $6m last year. gotta get some kind of ROI

I think Beason is more athletic than Pierce

debo_GIANTS : 1/30/2015 9:59 am : link

But Pierce was a great leader almost like having a coach on the field. I loved when he used to hear the QBs audible and then he would start hitting his helmet and call an audible for the D

Would be nice but he is as injury prone as it gets. Needs to take a big cut which I think he is going to be willing to do.

Would love for him to contribute this year but we will have to pay him as if he is a low probability starter at this point.

I'd agree NYG will seek to leverage

JonC : 1/30/2015 10:14 am : link

his lack of production and the $6M investment to date, and restructure the remainder of his deal to protect themselves versus his legs.

Eli Manning's wife Abby gave birth to Daughter #3 yesterday. That is indeed why he's not here at Super Bowl week this year.

But the paper has in today's edition ...
Giants quarterback Eli Manning's scored again � his wife is pregnant with their third child, according to reports.

need a bigger bathtub

sphinx : 1/30/2015 3:53 pm : link

Manning does not often offer much publicly about his personal life, but he is happy to talk about his love of fatherhood. He once said this about his favorite moment as a father: �When we have the whole family together, maybe bath time when I have both kids in the bathtub and they start splashing each other and making each other laugh. That usually gives me my biggest smile � when I see both my girls interacting with each other.�

The Mannings are going to need a bigger bathtub.

This is not quite correct. Beason is a superior athlete. Even after his injuries before this season, he was a sideline to sideline player. IMO he's every bit as good upstairs as Pierce. Healthy Beason is a flat out better player.

Carolina traded Beason because he was a 2 down player who wasn't fast enough to play outside lb after Luke Kuechly beat him out for the starting mlb spot.
