Storm Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 It's wayyyyy too late now. Late round or not, it's silly when you need to try to rebuild through the draft and FA NEXT year and won't have any money to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herc Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 it is but they probably think they can't sell a bottoming out/rebuilding year to NY fans 4 weeks into the season. they know we'll stop showing up to the games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigblue25 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 http://www.newsday.com/sports/football/giants/giants-trade-for-linebacker-jon-beason-1.6194639 Giants trade for linebacker Jon Beason Giants Giants trade for linebacker Jon Beason Originally published: October 4, 2013 12:18 AM Updated: October 4, 2013 12:21 AM By TOM ROCK tom.rock@newsday.com The Giants acquired linebacker Jon Beason from the Panthers in a trade late Thursday night, pending his passing of a physical in New Jersey Friday morning, according to a source. The terms of the deal were not immediately clear, but a late-round pick in the 2014 draft is the most likely price. Fox Sports first reported the trade. Beason lost his starting job as an outside linebacker for the Panthers this week, beaten out by former Giant Chase Blackburn. Beason was a three-time Pro Bowler for the Panthers between 2007 and 2010, but he has played only seven games since tearing his Achilles tendon in the 2011 season opener, and just one snap in the Week 3 game against the Giants. He also had microfracture surgery. Passing his physical with the Giants is not a slam dunk. The Giants are not deep at linebacker and have taken chances on first-round talents at the position in the recent past, most notably Keith Rivers, who was acquired from the Bengals in a trade for a fifth-round pick before the 2012 season. Beason could take Rivers' place. The deal for Beason is the first between Giants general manager Jerry Reese and former Giants personnel guru Dave Gettleman, now Carolina's general manager. Beason is in the final year of his contract, which voids at the end of this season. His salary is $1 million for 2013. Copyright © 2013 Newsday. All rights reserved.

Bigblue25 Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Also have to open two roster spots. One for Hill and one for Beason if trade goes through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrashTalker92 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 What's the different between this and all the other fail attemp to aquire a LB? Pile up first rounders with a history of injury and pray for good results??? I'm not saying the seasons over but this is a useless move. Love to eat crow for the sake of the season.

Balloonknot Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Wait so we are trading for someone that isn't as good as Chase Blackburn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiroth Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I have to give props to Reese for at least trying something. Now, that being said, the time to look for NFL quality linebackers was back in March, not in October. There's not going to be a whole lot of quality guys on the trading block.

NightFire Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Wait so we are trading for someone that isn't as good as Chase Blackburn? That was my first thought also. So we dropped Blackburn to trade for the guy Blackburn beat to become a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmenroc Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Article up on ESPN...speaks to the failures of Beason so far this season. I'm less than thrilled that we're giving up a draft pick for the guy. I'm seriously hoping he fails his physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late round or not, it's silly when you need to try to rebuild through the draft and FA NEXT year and won't have any money to do it. This tells me management is not giving up on the season. Beason is a very good LB from my limited view of the Panthers. We can't build the team thru the draft alone... This is a very good move by the FO.

CrazedDogs Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I didn't want Beason in the draft, I sure don't want him several years and an achilles later. Hope I'm wrong about him, but I'm not optimistic.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I'm wrong about him, but I'm not optimistic.... Well Idk now that I've been reading about his injuries... we're essentially giving up a late draft pic for someone who was great but got beaten by Chase Blackburn. I'm against this move now.. but maybe the Giants are trying a last ditch effort to save the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did have a nice start to his career before he was injured and then Wally Pipped by Luke Keuchly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeMesiS Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm starting to think Reese doesn't know how evaluate LB. We are trading for a guy who lost his job to a guy who we thought wasn't good enough for our team. Geez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
