Jon Beason Officially a Giant.......Passes his Physical

[Cary Kollins]

Guess if i had to guess knowing the huddle.

The only condition of the trade is that Beason had to pass his physical, which he has done. 

[TheRumGone]

we should be hearing shortly what we get in exchange.

[MHS831]

I meant that the round is based on his performance. I am not an expert in this, but I have heard of that kind of thing before.

[Wyank]

If it isn't a 5th, then I'm going to be pissed. We could have got a compensatory 7th or 6th from letting him go in FA. 

 

 

What are the rules on compensatory picks?  Stats wise, he hasn't done too much because of being injured.  Do they go back to when he was a Pro Bowler in 2010?

 

Honest question.

[mbarbour21]

I'm thinking 5th. Espn article says Giants traded a late rd pick for an injury prone LB before and it was a 5th. For Keith Rivers (Bengals)

[Squirrel]

Gotta figure Gettleman got that call before the team loaded the plane. The team probably already knew it was a done deal before they were wheels up to Arizona

 

 

You do know they can get messages in the air?

Lets wait until we know the compensation before going off half-cocked.  Even then, we got something for him where we would not have otherwise. Since we traded for him before the deadline, does all of his dead cap money for next accelerate to this year.  If so might that be a partial reason for why we did it now?  We had the cap room now and wanted to clear the books of his bad contract.  Plus it surely sends a message to the team that no matter who you are or what you make, if you can't play then you will be gone.  Should be a wake-up call to everyone.

No no no.  You got to turn your phone off in the air or else the plane will fall from the sky.

[GotSwag?]

Im glad we got something for him, but its not hard to see why we wont be happy if its just for a 7th round pick.  

[Cary Kollins]

If it's a fifth....holy poo that would be some epic Gettlemagic.

 

 

Step 1:  Sign two-time Super Bowl winner Linebacker

 

Step 2:  Insert said LBer into starting lineup

 

Step 3:  Send your old starting LB to former team of SB winnnig LBer

 

Step 4:  Receive 5th round pick for your troubles

[Wyank]

Im glad we got something for him, but its not hard to see why we wont be happy if its just for a 7th round pick.  

 

If it's because Beason asked for a trade, then I'm happy with the 7th rounder and taking care of someone that has done a lot for us.

[PhillyB]

if we got a 6th or a 7th i would poo my pants.

 

if we got a 5th i would poo my pants and mail them to dat alice. if the giants tank we could land a 4th-round talent with the pick.

@RapSheet: Good detail RT @KimJonesSports: Beason deal low-risk for NYG. They pay rest of his $1 million salary. No roster bonuses were carried over
