Beason traded?

[4Corners]

The NFL is a results based business.

 

It really is. Most businesses are. 

 

If the Panthers win Sunday....fans (especially teh huddle) will be like JON WHO???

[GRWatcher]

Hey! I'm OMG'ing over this too. I'm going to miss the hell out of Jon. We all are. But it may be the best thing for his career. Even if he's not a starter you know he's going to make that Giants team better just by being there. He did that for us.

 

But did you consider, since we haven't heard from Jon, that this trade may have been his or his agent's idea to begin with? If he's not going to be seeing the field often, it might be difficult for him to work the rust out if he stays in Charlotte.

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.

 

people really need to stop with this hyperbole. they are essentially getting somebody worse than blackburn. he's not the beast of old. you can flip words around and try and make it pretty but it's not. beason is not the same.

I'm not surprised at this. I mean, it's the best for both teams. If I recall the physical that he has to pass is one put in place by the Giants, not just a standard thing.

Not that he won't pass it. But, it's not a done deal unless he can pass that physical correct?

 

Also, when he does pass it, I think it's the best for him and us. that contract for a player that's not playing to the level of that contract anymore... (MLB), as well as not playing the same position... I think he'll shine (if healthy) in NY in the MLB position.

 

I wish him the best.

Now, I'd like to know it's not a 7th round pick... LOL but, I have faith it's at least a 5th or 6th, not a 7th.  If we get a 7th, I'll be very surprised at that.

[TruCatzFan]

Watch him pass his physical and lead the Giants to a 12-4 season and the Giants get yet another miraculous catch against a far superior opponent in Denver to win their 3rd Superbowl.

And yes I realize how crazy that all sounds

I also agree w/ a lot of this.

 

low risk high reward. Would have loved to see the Panthers trade for one of the two OTs that have been traded in the past 48 hours.

there's speculation on twitter from NFL writers and journalists that Beason may not pass the physical. 

 

there's hope yet TCF

I'd be shocked if he fails his physical.

It's not that I'm against trading him, but I am against trading him for a "late round pick"

Look at TD. 3 torn ACLs. Nobody gave him a shot to comeback and look at him now.

Imho, Jon Beasons career is not over

Its not the pick we are trading him for.  It is to get his contract off the books.  Sucks but it is a great deal for us.  Any way late round can be anywhere from 5th-7th.

Yeah, I'm assume'n he'll pass. but I have that doubt... depending on the Giants.

I also assume they know what they are getting into with him recovering still.

It all comes down to their perspective on the physical I guess.

 

We will see.

 

[Brooklyn Bully]

I wish Jon well. I hope he can come back from his injury and be somewhat near what he once was and help the Giants.

 

Also ... welcome to a REAL city, Beast. :)

 

Now I have a reason to watch Giants games when they don't come on when my Panthers do! 

[TruCatzFan]

Dude... Can u imagine if you we're busy tonight and missed your "huddle time" and wake up tomorrow am to check the site and u see a 60 somin page thread about a Jon Beason trade? I'd be like WTF just happened??? Squint and wipe my eyes and look again...

I didn't realize East Rutherford, New Jersey was a real city.

Doesn't matter whatsoever. I'd rather keep him for the rest of the season and possibly watch him walk at the end of the year than give him up for a 7th. Depth for an injury prone TD and the possibility that MAYBE the reason he hasn't looked great in these first 3 days isn't because he sucks now like people seem to think, but that he is just getting back into the groove of things.

 

Without a doubt, he's still a starter for almost every team in the NFL, and you don't find sure starters in the 7th round.
