After nine seasons in the National Football League the former Panther is hanging up his cleats, and he had something interesting to say about the team.
Former first round selection in the 2007 NFL Draft, Jon Beason, announced his retirement yesterday. The former Carolina Panther was selected with the 25th overall selection after the team traded down with the New York Jets on draft day. Marty Hurney, the former Carolina Panthers General Manager, chose to drop down from the 14th to the 25th selection in order to pick up an extra second and fifth round picks in the 2007 draft.
