Will Beason be a Panther next year?

[charlottenian]

If he refuses to play outside then I'd say he is gone

[jbland]

He will do what it takes and yes he will be playing next year. I think he knows he will be moving to the outside and will restructure his contract.

[Zod]

Yes, he will.

[Rubi]

He loves being a panther

[Panthers Nation]

Not if we draft te'o.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

lol

[La Pantera]

He will not refuse to play outside.

[carolina-chuck]

Hell love to be OLB.

He's too much of a player to let his ego take over himself. He knows Kuechly deserves the mike

[Floppin]

Not if we draft te'o.

If our new GM drafts a fuging LB with our first pick, I'm going to fuging fire-bomb BOA stadium.

[Toundra]

I HOPE SO!

Beason is still one of the very best LB in the NFL MLB or not.

[JawnyBlaze]

Not if we draft te'o.

[Matthias]

We can't get rid of him even if we wanted to. Too much money wrapped up in his contract. To get rid of him now would throw our cap into a free fall. With all that said, he will play OLB next year, and will be great. (assuming he's healthy)

Look at this and answer the question yourself:

7/29/2011: Signed a six-year, $51.338 million contract. The deal contains $25 million guaranteed, including a $20 million signing bonus.

2012: $1.25 million

2013: $5.25 million

2014: $6.5 million

2015: $7.5 million

2016: $8.75 million

2017: Free Agent

Let's just put it this way- release Beason and it becomes a cap hit unlike much of the league has never seen before. The cap hit would make Sean Gilbert's look minimal.

[Argus Plexus]

Lol that's like when we payed Jake 12.5 mil to play for the Browns.
