don't steal my avatar.

We traded him for a 7th? Giants fans are happy.

What he does off the field and as a mentor...

 

I couldn't have made it more clear...

 

You may need Rosetta Stone or Hooked on Phonics.

 

Mentor who? Luke Kuechly?

 

 

Luke should mentor Jon.

 

Ya want whats best for jon?  let him actaully play elsewhere!

Why is everyone assuming the deal is for a seventh rounder? All the reports say "a late round pick." It could be a sixth.

they won't be for long

[Coheed]

Yeah, people keep saying Seventh on here but I haven't seen a single report other than "late rounder"

No, no one is buying what you're trying desperately to sell. There's no shortage of leadership on the team, the D or in the LB room.

The NFL is a results based business.

People that can't grasp the significance of this decision by DG are really going to hate the off-season.

Beason's contract considered we should have been sending 52 and a 2nd for their 7th.

 

Somebody in the Giants FO must have lost a massive bet to getts.

You can't even be mad for getting a multi time All-Pro for a 7th. Even if it doesn't pan out, the upside is clearly worth the risk. He'll recover from his injury more and more, and he can at least be a decent starter. For a 7th on a team with a terrible LB core? That's straight money.

 

We traded for what, Louis Murphy? Colin Jones? In the same realm of picks. They're getting a dude that was universally considered a top two MLB for years.

frankly i'd be happy with a 7th. he'd ride the bench the rest of the year and be gone anyway. maybe we pick up a good special teams player or take a flyer on a guy who's fallen a couple rounds due to concerns. it's also tradable if we end up needing to fill a hole sometime during the next couple of weeks.

 

there are no logical reasons to dislike this trade. only emotional and/or uninformed ones.

Again, I disagree. It's easy to restructure after trades. Or cut them without losses if they don't perform maybe? I'm not sure how it all works, but I'm sure that's a thing..?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Lol Smitty brings up a great point...

 

We are trading Jon Beason for the same compensation that we got Louis Murphy for...

 

Damn.

Depth. If a LB goes down, we're starting Jordan Senn.
