Retiring Giants linebacker Jon Beason receives nothing but respect from teammates

The Giants shook their roster on Wednesday when linebacker Jon Beason retired and offensive linemen Geoff Schwartz and Will Beatty were cut. That's a team captain and two solid veterans, gone in the span of 15 minutes.

When something like that unfolds, the locker room is sure to notice, especially for a player and man of Beason's caliber.

Here were some of the reactions from former Giants teammates:

On Beason ...

Would not be surprised if Beason becomes a head coach in 3-5 years!

Definitely sad to see @jonbeason go, but the man has had a hell of a career, nothing but respect to a true class act.
