It was interesting that the Giants kept him on the PS a year after his knee injury so he could recover....they could have just cut him. For those that forgot, he was looking like a potential starter in the '22 training camp but hurt his knee in preseason. Spent all of '22 on IR and came back for '23 training camp but did not look like he had his explosion back.
They just drafted Muasau, but Beavers could potentially add something as the 4th rush end, which he did very well in college(UConn).
I was just thinking about how the coaching staff likes players that can play multiple roles, and Beavers could fill in at both ILB, Edge, and contribute on special teams.
An interesting camp story to follow, outside of the big name players.
No idea how much he’s lost with the surgery and long time recovering.
He was on his way to securing a starters spot before the injury.
He should be recovered from his knee surgery for this training camp (2 full years since the injury), so whatever he's got should be on display. Tough, physical LB. If he's healthy I hope the can find a way to make use of him and say goodbye to Basham.
With Okereke, McFadden, Beavers, and Muasau that would be a dramatic improvement to the '22 LB corps.
Except that they're always injured...
Coming off knee surgery....it's usually the 2nd year back that their speed kicks back in place.
In the '22 camp/pre-season he looked much quicker/decisive.

Don't be so quick to get rid of Basham. He could be looked at to fill a D-Line rusher role.
Keeping him on the PS last year gives some hope but him staying there and not being promoted isn’t a great sign.
I’m sure you’re right but I remember liking him more than McFadden pre-injury
I remember him being quicker than McFadden too. But, as you say, may be moot now post-injury
Except he literally was not hurt last year. He spent the year on the PS except for the last two regular-season games, which he played in.
You might want to check into things like that first.
...dude tore up his knee and was IR'd. Some of your posts are brutal.
I think he was drafted 2 years and 2 weeks ago but why fix on details, right?

Oh excuse me he wasn't hurt last year. Was he on the field ?
Martinez, Crowder, McFadden, Calitro, Cam Brown, Coughlin.
Yeah he was getting practice reps - but the cupboard was pretty bare
Some players are never the same after a knee injury like that. Others seem to return to 100%.
Bigger inside linebackers help the run defense. Beavers is listed as 255, about 20 pounds heavier than McFadden.
It will be big if Beavers can come back.

The 255lb number gets brought up a lot, and it even says that on the website, but he was 237lbs at the combine. Has he honestly put on that much weight while recovering from a torn ACL? If he has then I presume the plan is to move him outside, but I don't buy it.
I think Basham is gone too. My baseless offseason prediction is they try to move him inside, but he loses to Ryder Anderson who is my guy this year to make it (or maybe UDFA Casey Rogers). Then OLB is the spot where we see an outsider added. It would be nice if it was Beavers but I don't see it.
That shows they think he has possibilities going forward.
He would have won the ILB spot his rookie year until the knee injury. He "was" bigger, faster and more athletic than McFadden.
I suspect they want to see where he's at this camp.

He was never on IR last year.
McFadden beat him out. They "risked" subjecting Beavers to waivers and he spent most of the season on the PS. He played in t he last two games, exclusively on special teams.
However, he practiced all season... OTAs, training camp, regular-season.
My assumption is he was still not 100 percent (same with anyone coming off an ACL, including a guy like Wan'Dale).
McFadden has to tackle better or he will lose his job. On the other hand, Beavers has to worry about Muasau and Adams now.

Why would he do that? He is almost always wrong. Why would he change now...?
Matthew Adams may keep Beavers from making the team. Big hitter and very good on special teams.
Also have Simmons and Muasau - IMO, Beavers has an uphill battle, steep uphill battle
