Beason Compensation: 7th round pick


UNCrules2187

Recommended Posts

Beason was pretty average at OLB last time he played it before the health issues. He is simply is a MLB.

Grand scheme, having him off our roster alone might of been worth it. His leadership might of been pulling is in different directions. We certainly appear better now that we don't have to give him token playing time

 

Yeah, I remember the Dan Conner thing.

Beason is worth way more than that to the Giants.  Dave's biggest feat in the Beason situation was taking him off the books next year and beyond, regardless of compensation.

 

Uh, yeah, except for the 8 million in dead money we have to take next year.

 

Moving him did virtually nothing to help us cap-wise.

It doesn't suck...he was basically squatting on a roster spot for 3 years with zero productivity...having a 7th rounder that practices is more productive than a guy who can't even get on the field.  At least the 7th rounder is making the starters better during practice (potentially).  Besides, I can see Gettleman bundling that 7th round pick with something else for next years draft.

We were going to take that hit though regardless of if we traded him, or simply let him walk as an FA next year, correct? There really wasn't much of a positive outcome possible after giving him that massive contract two years ago. Best we can do now is move on and let it go.

lol at all the people "STOP SAYING IT'S 7th RD CAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW YET".  g man still hasn't let go of the giants love. What a ridiculous trade, we could have got a 5th.

 

From who?

 

What other teams have an LB corps so injury decimated that they're willing to trade a pick for a player that hasn't played in two years and looked bad when he did play this year?

 

Other teams' GMs don't have sentimental memories of the player beason used to be.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
