Beason traded?

That was 3 years ago.

If Beason in 2013 was a Planeteer his power would be heart.

That's about it

[PhillyB]

a trillion dollars in cap space and a draft pick with zero drop-off in on-field production

WE R HAS BETRAYD THE TEEM

[PantherGuy]

Fire Gettleman...

 

A late round pick for Beason is an insult to a man that gave his all for the Panthers...

 

A late round pick isn't worth it...

 

I might get flamed for this, but IMO this is an overreaction. As cold as it is, football is a business. You're torching Gettleman for doing the opposite of what Hurney did. Hurney was too loyal, now Gettleman isn't loyal enough.

 

Can't have it both ways.

Beason will be the Mike in Jersey, it's good for everyone.

He's one of my all time favorites for a list of reasons, but it's clear his time here was coming to a close.

Vacchiano says its done pending physical.

I'm told the Giants will send a late-round pick to the Panthers (and old friend Dave Gettleman) in return for Beason. #NYG

LOL at Captain playing the best ball of his career.

[panther4life]

and about 10 million in cap space that we can use RIGHT NOW, to sign someone else, or extend someone on the roster..................

This is a smart move and anyone who says otherwise is fuging stupid.

It's the right move but your very wrong about the cap space

Yeah we should draft elite defensive players in the 6th round every year

[Swaggasaurus]

Gettleman is going to have to learn to give away a draft pick or three... Not get more, we are the Panthers damn it.

Great post by Voth:

 

On Jon Beason: IF he is traded, it makes a whole lot of sense. He's not close to the player he used to be, wants to be, or needs to be. He MAY get there one day, but it's not going to be this year. So what do the Panthers do? Considering who Beason was both as a player and leader, it's hard for them to just bench the guy. That's why they let him stay out there in Weeks 1 and 2 when he was obviously at least a step behind. Read an article this week that questioned if his career could be over. I think that's a big leap to take right now. It could turn out that way, but the guy's going to get a chance to get healthy. He probably won't be a Pro Bowler again, but he could be a solid starting LB in the league once he gets the knee somewhat right -- which will be next year at the earliest. The Panthers hoped he'd be a serviceable starter this year, even though they knew odds weren't fantastic, and the knee's still too far away. So essentially, since they can't start him or bench him, his days in Carolina have been numbered. If Dave Gettleman can use his Giants ties to get something right now, it makes sense for everyone involved.

I wouldn't be mad if we traded Beason to another team for a low pick, but the fuggn Giants? Gman doing business with his former team. That's what pisses me off. Bad business.

NY needed a lb that bad, make them give up Nicks!

[TopCat]

Ironic that the Giants don't resign Chase Blackburn who we then sign, who ends up beating Beason out of his job, then the Giants go ahead and trade for Beason who lost his job to the former Giant.

 

hilarious

Which means it's pry an intelligent move

Does it make you feel better about yourself to make jokes at my expense all the time? And then hide behind the fact that you're a moderator that has banned me on multiple occasions?

It's okay with me. I was just wondering if all this made you feel like more of a man.
