Beason Stills Seems Miffed

Implies that Hurney wouldn't have traded him, and makes it sound like Rivera surprised him with the trade. Speaks highly of Jerry Richardson, and talks about his regrets of not winning consistently.

 

I understand that Beason is an extremely proud player, but unless that conversation between him and Rivera never happened then he had no reason to be surprised by the trade. And he wasn't going to see the field at MLB while Kuechly was healthy, so. . .

the other gm....sigh

It's not RR's or DG's fault that Jon got hurt. He made a ton of money for 2+ years sitting in the trainer's room or on the bench.

It may be true that Hurney wouldn't have traded him. Excessive loyalty to the detriment of the team was his greatest flaw.

Answer me this Jon Beason...would you rather sit on the bench for the Panthers?  Or start for the Giants?  You're a football player and of course you want to play.  So is this really an issue?  Seems to me Gettleman did you a solid.

So wait, I thought he demanded a trade?

I'm sure he did, but he's not going to say that on TV.

Lots of reports said he went to Rivera to ask for a trade.  Considering he basically just got benched it makes total sense.

Yea who does gettleman think he is running this franchise like it's a football team and not some rehabilitation sanctuary for players where IRed guys can rest assured they will be comfortably overpaid as long as Hurney picked them himself and they had like one breakout year at least or something

This is a very sad video and i feel bad for Beason, for me Beason is still a Panthers and still one of my favorite player.

Good luck Jon, and i seriously hope the Panthers will bring you back home.

I really don't know how to take this because of all the things that where said after he left and the comment on how he would like to finish his career as a giant. I think he see's how this team has finally turned a corner and knows he could have been apart of it and truthfully I wish he could have but there was no way we were going to take Luke from the middle and there was now way we were going to pay him MLB money to play WLB.
