Three-time Pro Bowl linebacker Jon Beason passed his physical Friday, completing his trade from the Carolina Panthers to the New York Giants, league sources confirmed to ESPN.com. Beason was benched prior to Carolina's 38-0 Week 3 win against the Giants. He broached the topic of wanting to play more with Panthers coach Ron Rivera on Thursday. "The trade benefits both the team and Jon," Rivera said Friday. "We'll obviously get something out of it, and it gives Jon an opportunity to get on the field."
