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.

Is that you Marty?

We drafted Mayo to learn the LB positons and take over for Klein when he rides off for a good 2nd contract.

 

Also, can Beason play special teams?  If not, who takes over for that missing spot?

It's just not a good idea to bring in another player at LB who is long in the tooth, when you already have TD on the roster.

With Star, TD, Luke, and KK, I don't think that the defense needs anymore vet help.  The offense....that's a different story.

Always have liked Beason. Can't recall him saying anything negative after he left, and he certainly could have with the abrupt way he went out.

I remember he and TD were really close so Im sure he'd love to come back in some role with this team on the staff.

I'll echo everyone's sentiments that he would be a tremendous addition to the organization. Regardless, I hope he ends up coaching/mentoring young players in some capacity. His leadership qualities and football IQ would benefit many.

Also, let's take a moment to remember how pumped we were after watching this video way back when:

Hell yes retire as a Panther. He's the only Panthers jersey I've ever bought.

[Proudiddy]

The blurb i just read said he retired because NY basically told him if he didn't they'd be releasing him.  My initial thought was, "why not wait a few months and see if he wants to come back and play for us, behind TD and Luke?"  That would be awesome.

Absolutely.  I would love to start wearing my jersey again -just come home whether it's a 1 day contract to retire, a backup position, a coaching position, advisor, whatever.  He was an amazing tandem with TD and I know #58 would love to have him home.  Beastson…missed him!

Beason's Achilles blew in 2011 and he was never the same guy after that

[Semaj]

I love Jon Beason.  Bring the man home in some capacity.  He loves the Carolina Panthers too.  He will always be a Carolina Panther.

Bring him back to reunite him with 3 legged G-reg

I figured out needs to be done.

 

ESPN needs to fire Ray Lewis and hire beason!

[MV%doe]

I'd support that only if they had freedom to say whatever they truly wanted too.
