Beason trade saves 705k in cap room

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

Why would you get rid of his jersey?

Jesus, I don't understand some people. . .

 

lol if anything i'm jumping on the fire sale on beason stuff.  i don't have his nike jersey.

 

i think he should easily be on the "safe list" of ex panther jerseys

Wish Beason the best, but his extension got the worst return on investment of any Hurney gave out. 

 

*cough* Jake Delhomme *cough*

Seems to me like we come up on the short end, trading Beason for a 7th round pick. Good luck Beast...

You'd rather he ride the bench all year and lose him next year without compensation?

[Frank Hollywood]

Why does everyone keep claiming its for a seventh? No one has any idea.

..... Big reason we lost first 2 games

 

Definitely the Buffalo game for sure.  I was screaming at the TV all game about how bad and slow he looked.   I had read somewhere the stats on how many yards against the team were due to him and the yards after catch were worse.  The fact Rivera kept him out that entire game and never put Blackburn in then was one of the biggest reasons I was calling for Rivera's head after that game.  

 

Good luck to Beason and still hoping the Panther make this a season and play some meaningful games later in the Season instead of garbage time.

Great trade Gman...........

 

two yrs. from now we'll all be laughing about how we got the better end of the deal.

I'd rather he was 100% and playing lights out alongside Keek and Davis, in addition to having a much lower cap hit. But that doesn't change what I posted. Good luck Beast.

Only difference is we get to carry over that 705k in unused space into next year.

 

 

 

Assuming we don't use it on another player. This trade also opens a roster spot.

a 7th isn't compensation.....basically on par with your UDFA talent.

 

Long season, early bye....plenty of time for him to work on getting better.  13 straight games....we will have bodies go down.  We are already on the hook for Beason financially in reality (trade doesn't really help much there).

Very good point.. So essentially we saved nothing at the end of the day. Just got an extra pick.

yeah, remember that time we traded Beason for a 7th rounder....who didn't survive the preseason and was beat out by several UDFA.  Gettlemen is one crafty bastard. 

 

I mean you can argue this is good if you are Beason.  Gives him a shot....but from our perspective, I mean didn't win anything.

I think this is why Beason restructured and just took a loss on the money.  Players don't resturcture just to help the team out.  That restructure made it possible to trade Jon which is what he wanted because he knows that with Luke he'll never sniff MLB for the Panthers.  Good for him.  I hope he does great for the Giants and becomes a Pro Bowler again.

Would have rather kept him this season hoping that he might turn it around then to just get a lousy 7th round pick.  Gettlemagic...
