Giants release Beason, considering retirement.

[Jeremy Igo]

Would you embrace him as a retired Panther?

 

What about seeing him with the organization in some fashion? Maybe like Jordan Gross.

[TheRed]

Absolutely, always liked Beason.

[TNPanther]

Sign him as a backup/role player? He could prove valuable in such a role. I think he knows his days as a high level starter are over.

[tondi]

Of course.  He can't help getting hurt and then traded.

[Squirrel]

Come home Beason

[Bartin]

If he wants to sign a one day contract to retire as a Panther then good for him. If he doesn't then also good for him. Wouldn't change how I see him. He was a great Panther while he was here so how he chooses to retire makes no difference to me. He's never had a bad word to say about the organization since being traded.

As far as a role in the organization, I'm not sure what he would do. Coach or scout? Sure, if that's something either Ron or Dave think he would be good at. Gross has the media role pretty well locked up. I'm not in favor of giving him a job for the sake of giving him a job. He needs to be the best guy for the job.

[Qu1million]

Of course Beaston will be accepted

[therealmjl]

Please do

To sign a 1 day, sure....to backup Luke, no.

If he wants to retire with us, door is wide open. Anything to hear "Beeeeaaaaaassssssttttttttt!" one more time.

[Cyclonus]

I'm a huge fan of Jon Beason.  But I don't want him as a player on the team anymore.  Maybe a coaching role?

[PandaPancake]

Can he replace Mick? He sounds great doing interviews

[Kurb]

Id take Beason as part of the LB corps any day of the week. 

His body can't handle starter duties, but as a backup guy he could be tremendous. 


That said, for health reasons he would be better served as advisor/coach. He's made money, retire while you can.

We could trade Klein for a high (2nd or 3rd round) draft pick, probably wouldn't even stay with us after this year anyways so would be nice to get something for him. Beast is still effective when healthy and he wouldn't get hurt as a backup most likely. Wouldn't hurt to have that veteran depth and locker room presence for vet. min.
