The Giants had hoped that they had found the leader of their defense when they traded for Jon Beason. But with injuries and now retirement, they are looking again.
This is a question the New York Giants had to be asking themselves ever since Jon Beason was (once again) lost for the season. "Who is going to be our middle linebacker for the future?"
With the Giants officially parting ways with Beason, that question becomes even more pressing.
Losing the middle linebacker is a tremendous blow to Steve Spagnuolo's communication-heavy scheme.
