Jon Beason traded to the Giants

Per Rotoworld:

QuotePanthers LB Jon Beason arrived in New York Friday to take a physical with the Giants.

If he passes, he'll become a Giant, probably for a late-round conditional pick. The physical is critical because Beason has been beset by injuries in recent years, including an offseason microfracture surgery on his troublesome knee. He couldn't start over Chase Blackburn in Carolina, so it's hard to imagine Beason suddenly giving the Giants' struggling defense a jolt

Obviously, he has to pass his physical first...and that is far from a sure thing for a player made out of glass.

Wow he used to be a tackling machine.

He might be a good pick up.

For the two quarters he manages to stay fit.

I dunno. He hasn't been relevant since his big payday. Went on IR, then lost his job to Kuechly, then lost his job to Chase Blackburn.

Just the guy to turn that ship around!

Hahahah I said might be a good pick up, I didn't say anything about righting the Titanic.

This guy used to be such a good player, but I think he's only a 2-down linebacker now. Still, for a late round draft pick why the hell not?

I wonder how guaranteed money works out for him going to the Giants and what not

His salary for this year is next to nothing (like 1.75million)

QuoteSigned a six-year, $51.338 million contract. The deal contains $25 million guaranteed -- a $20 million signing bonus, Beason's first two base salaries, and $3.75 million of his 2013 salary. Another $500,000 is available through Pro Bowl incentives. 2013: $1 million (+ $500,000 reporting bonus + $1.75 million in per-game roster bonuses), 2014: $6.5 million, 2015: $7.5 million, 2016: $8.75 million, 2017: Free Agent

The draft picks is a potential steal, I just dont know how much money they'll be on the hook for if they cut him. His future salaries are decent if he gets back to 100%, but I dont see that happening
