Beason traded?

[carolina-chuck]

All I keep seeing is... "Hey, at least we are getting something for him".

Our last 7th round pick (D.J. Campbell- 2012) isn't even on the roster anymore.

There is no guarantee that we are even getting anything in return for him because a 7th round pick might not even make the roster.

Beason would have much more value as a back up to Luke and Blackburn than a 7th round pick would.

Fans wanna think we're going to find the next Alfred Morris.

what's better?

 

trading him away where he has a chance to start for the only compensation a team would give up for a guy who has only played 4 games in the past 2 years and who is still nowhere near being able to start and compete at a high level?

 

or

 

letting him sit on the sidelines and maybe play a few downs late in games and then let him go at the end of the season where he'd be competing for a roster spot in a very crowed market against younger and much less damaged goods?

 

just because someone used to be worth a whole lot doesn't mean they continue to be worth a whole lot when they become obsolete.

Dude, I'm not even arguing your points and have already made them in the first 20 posts in this thread. I'm just sayin... This is crazy

[Swaggasaurus]

TBH Beason did look better than James Anderson did last year. He ate blocks like a champ. Hopefully Blackburn isn't scared to do that either. Takes a real man to do that.

Is a 5th considered a "late round pick"? I'm hoping we got at least a 5th

 

Yeah, I think a 5th round is a late round pick. That's what I'm hoping for as well.

.

Couldn't we just pick a good, smart, vocal guy to sit on the sidelines in the 7th round if that is what the team needs?

 

That unknown 7th rd pick has a better chance of being a contributor on the Panthers than Beason, who's been regulated to bench duty. Plus, that player could (god forbid) play a position the Panther are in need of (CB, WR, OL). You never know. 

 

The problem is: We do know with Beason now.

Not to mention how this is going to affect the morale of the team...

Mind as well trade Stewart for a 7th round pick too. NYG desperately needs a Rb!!!

 

If they want to take that contract on, I'd do that poo in a heartbeat.

He isn't even playing so what are we giving up?

Beast is gone no matter what and isn't playing.

If we need a leader that is vocal to sit on the sidelines we can just draft one in the 7th round next year.

Plus we drafted Klein for a reason

[Lilsmitty09]

He was a leader plain and simple, and THAT's whats a lot more than a 7th round practice squad type player camp body pick...

I named my dog Beason.

[rayzor]

Beason sucked....but trading away a leader and respected guy for a 7th rounder just sucks. Better IMO to of parted ways with Beason in an offseason....if we weren't getting a real benefit from it. Seems more like DG doing old buds a favor

 

here's the problem with that.

 

the market is going to be crowded in the offseason...more than it was this past offseason thanks to all the guys who will be hitting the market because of the one year deals they signed.

 

the competition is going to be enormous for beason and if he's struggling this year after missing the last two, just how competitive is he going to be in getting a starting gig.

 

this is likely his best chance to prove his worth. him sitting behind blackburn and playing an LB spot that really doesn't get a lot of PT anyway because we spend so much time in nickel formations and a spot that really isn't his best and most natural fit anyway....sorry. this move is what is best for beason.

 

and the fact that it might be a 7th round pick (which it hasn't been confirmed is a fact as of yet)....that's fair value considering the commodity a team is getting. they aren't getting the beast from 3 years ago. they are getting a likeable player with leadership skills who is damaged goods. there is no guarantee that he will return to what he used to be, in fact the odds of him returning to any level of dominance is not in his favor.

 

he's no longer proven. he has to prove himself.

 

no one was going to be offering much more than what the giants are giving up.

 

[CRA]

7th rounder for Beason seems shitty...but ask yourselves this: Have we been better with/without him this year? Dude was abused in the Seattle game

Does he make guys like Luke better? In the film room/sidelines/etc? I think so....and that IMO is worth more than a 7th.

Give us the research then.

 

Google, "micro-fracture knee surgery".  Then post his performance in 8 weeks.
