Why isn't Beason practicing???

They don't want him to accidentally murder Cam Newton.

Beason doesn't "practice".

Practice "Beasons".

He gave TD a high five and tore TD's ACL. He is now on leave pending a court appearance.

Beason stood on the sidelines most of the time joking with Steve Smith, TD and others.

Not funny.

Its a reasonable question, that I would like to know the answer to.

Any player signing a new contract CANNOT practice until August 4th.

Language in the CBA prohibits players who sign new contracts from practicing with their teams until the start of the new league year. That will not occur until Thursday, August 4th, almost a week after the start of the signing period and the start of all 32 training camps. The rule applies to players re-signing with their old teams as well since they will not be reporting under an existing contract.

[CatMan72]

It's my understanding that the 8/4 rule does not apply to players who sign an extension like Beason?

[JohnnyDestiny11]

If they 'tore up' the old deal, then he cannot practice. At least that is my understanding. I could be wrong.

[JohnnyDestiny11]

Just checked, it applies to extensions and restructured deals too. I have been wrong before though, just ask any girl I have dated.

He got his money, no reason to bother busting his ass anymore. He's the new Haynesworth.

Is this sarcasm? If not, then let's actually wait first before proclaiming him the new Haynesworth.

He's waiting to put the pads on an give Cam his his first, welcome to the NFL hit. :cam:
