You and me both. I thought that ship had sailed.

What does this mean?  
David in LA : 8/30/2016 2:23 pm : link
Newhouse to the bench, and Beatty at RT, or do we kick Flowers over to RT?
but BBI  
The Dude : 8/30/2016 2:23 pm : link
yelled that the giants would never..
Really..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 8/30/2016 2:23 pm : link

Deleted mine. I've had enough stickies in my day.  
Anakim : 8/30/2016 2:24 pm : link
But yeah, Beatty should play LT, not RT
...  
BleedBlue : 8/30/2016 2:24 pm : link
im cool with this he is clearly better than our backups
depth right?  
Joey from GlenCove : 8/30/2016 2:24 pm : link
this is good depth i think
wow -  
Del Shofner : 8/30/2016 2:24 pm : link
ha, this should be good for some BBI chatter!
I didn't even hear  
Metnut : 8/30/2016 2:24 pm : link
that he was in for a workout. Was he cut from someone else in camp or has he not been on any team yet this year?
Can anyone speak to why he hasn't signed elsewhere?  
Bchurch : 8/30/2016 2:24 pm : link
Lack of interest, Beatty waiting for the right landing spot? etc...
Lol  
CaptSehorn : 8/30/2016 2:25 pm : link
Insiders sure had this one pegged

Me too...They obviously know best. I thought they felt he was too soft?

arcarsenal : 8/30/2016 2:25 pm : link
I think it means Flowers may be moving to RT. Beatty really doesn't fit well at RT and Flowers would. They'd both be in the wrong spot if Flowers stayed at LT.
if true, how many weeks before he's game ready?  
ColHowPepper : 8/30/2016 2:25 pm : link
Avoid the bench press?

If Beatty has anything left in the tank, that's what I'd do.
I really am shocked  
ThatLimerickGuy : 8/30/2016 2:25 pm : link
I'm assuming it's a 1 year low risk deal.
Could be as simple as a depth move....  
Tesla : 8/30/2016 2:25 pm : link
but considering that someone inside the org bashed him pretty good on the way out the door by hitting him with the 'soft' label....I think it's more likely an admission that Flowers is not the solution at LT. \

Beatty - Pugh - Richburg - Jerry - Flowers

sounds pretty good to me.

How much time would Beatty need to knock the rust off? Talk about a move that came out of left field.
confirmed on ESPN -

The Giants are signing OL Will Beatty, per source. They released Beatty earlier this year.

I'm floored as well.I don't really care for him as a player, and it sure seemed like the Giants were pissed at him.

BleedBlue : 8/30/2016 2:26 pm : link
beatty pugh richburg jerry flowers

with hart and newhouse as backups looks LIGHT YEARS better IMO
Wow.  
bceagle05 : 8/30/2016 2:26 pm : link
Please help, Will.
Like I said the other day  
Stan in LA : 8/30/2016 2:27 pm : link
"Calling Will Beatty! Come to the front desk! Bring your pen."

But I was told he would NEVER come back here.

Was that FatMan?
He's not great  
Big Rick in FL : 8/30/2016 2:28 pm : link
But he's 10x better then Newhouse. I'm ecstatic
Would he be 1 of the Top 9 OL in camp?  
njm : 8/30/2016 2:28 pm : link
Probably. But I have no idea how they are going to use him.
of course!  
mattlawson : 8/30/2016 2:28 pm : link
why not
God damnit  
ryanmkeane : 8/30/2016 2:28 pm : link
I thought we'd seen the last of him..
I can just picture Reese and McAdoo  
Tesla : 8/30/2016 2:28 pm : link
watching the tape of Flowers this pre-season...and hearing Reese say, "Fuck it, get Beatty's agent on the phone."
I guess I had this wrong -

No One Really Saw This Coming...  
Jim in Tampa : 8/30/2016 2:29 pm : link
But LOL at the 10,000 or so posts that shouted down anyone who would even dare suggest this should happen.
Hope he can pass  
Doomster : 8/30/2016 2:29 pm : link
a physical.....

And yes, the question is, was he signed as a backup, or starter....and if starter, which position....
But but but  
dairborn : 8/30/2016 2:29 pm : link
BBI said this wasn't going to happen.....Beatty and the Giants were not on good terms

I guess the Giants said "look I know his name" like fatman said us who suggested bringing back him and or schwartz!! Logic prevails in the front office!

Good news... I guess. No hard feelings.
. . . .  
jeff57 : 8/30/2016 2:30 pm : link

Giants beat out several other suitors for Beatty, I'm told. Got 1-year deal w/guaranteed salary of over $1M, plus about $750K in incentives.

I hate to be critical  
5BowlsSoon : 8/30/2016 2:30 pm : link
But many of us believe our FO screwed the pooch when they drafted a CB instead of an OL guy in round 1, and then didn't draft one at all.

We told them this was stupid. Now they believe us. So, who is running this team?
Shocked by this  
Ben in Tampa : 8/30/2016 2:30 pm : link
not because of talent so much, but how the relationship ended previously
Man I was getting lambasted  
BigBlueDownTheShore : 8/30/2016 2:31 pm : link
For suggesting this the other day because Beaty apparently has no heart and management told him he wasn't coming back because of it.
Not mad at that

This is not depth, this is to start. Haven't you watched the games? We have two guys starting who are not good.
Wasn't me..

I was pretty much saying that to ODB though. I said that Beatty left on bad terms and the Giants seemed to be moving on from guys with injury issues and possible motivation issues.

Let's see what he's here for. If it is to start, this will mean the line regressed
