he has suffered so many injuries that it is wise to avoid putting his body through more pain. I can see him getting into coaching and I wouldn't be surprised if we see him as a coaching intern in a couple of years like Armstead.
I'd prefer if it was retire. Maybe they told him they were going to release him and he said he'd retire. He already said depending o his surgery he might retire....
RE: is that better, worse or no impact re the salary cap?
not a hurricanes fan but always enjoyed those early 00s teams including big beast, i always thought when healthy early in his career he could have a Patrick Willis like career. Talent was all there.
so it doesn't make any sense to keep trying. His time with the Giants was an attempt to resurrect his career. It's not happening, kind of like LaVar Arrington.
RE: RE: is that better, worse or no impact re the salary cap?
Sadly health was never on his side. Our defense looked potent when we had Beason/Hill/Rolle in the middle of the field. Now we're baby doodoo soft in that area. We need to get back to being tough in the middle.
make it better, with what we were trotting out there for linebackers....he made plays and average linebacker would make, and compared to the rest of the LBers on this team, he looked like all world...
Factor in the non-starter qb's he faced, he certainly wasn't "fantastic"....maybe Captain Fantastic, b ut not fantastic....
unfortunately we got him at the very tail end of his career. He played very well the year we traded for him. The next year he got hurt again and that seemed to be the last we ever saw of him as a great player. I was always a fan of the Giants/U of Miami players, they've given us good players for the most part (Armstead, Barrow, Shockey, Rolle, Beason, and a few others I'm sure I missed).

No difference.
Yup.
Either way, best of luck to him.
shall we remember him from his rap song as the big Beast?

thanks
I hope he finds his way in something else. Best of luck, Jon.
It is actually better, no dead money.
He was great in the game he got hurt. I remember thinking how he finally looked like an impact player.

Beason to Giants: I'd prefer to wait to see how my rehab goes to decide on my status for next season.
Giants: If you don't 'retire' now you'll be cut tomorrow.
Beason: OIC. Then I'll retire.
