But that's the point of "taking a listen" He already got a 1 year payday and may have gone a different route to come back to Rex because he knows how Tampa essentially had no clue how to use him. All u had to do is listen and if his camp went the 10-12mil per route then..hey.. no thx.. But, if they were willing to do incentives, multi year etc...well now ..we'll never know because we're not interested in paying players. ftr... I can't wait to see how this Mo thing goes because if we lose a player like this because we get cheap (again) I will be devastated .
Have we forgotten about Mevi$ already? The Jets surely don't want to go down that path again - if he really wanted to return to the Jets, he should have fired his fucking annoying agents.
It wouldn't be surprising at all. However he's a Pat right now and having this become a topic of conversation during the Pats camp is not good for the Pats. It's unprofessional to let grudges (assuming they exist in the first place) take any of your concentration away from the task at hand. I have great respect for Darrelle Revis the player but I don't have anything like that level of respect for Darrelle Revis the team player, because I don't really think that guy exists.
with as much money we have... i wouldnt of cared to sign revis to a 1 yr deal this year and see where it goes from there honestly. A Year with Idzik to see what this new Jets era is about. If he still wanted crazy revis numbers still after that.. fuck em, let em walk and make himself look bad, or maybe he decides he cares about winning and humbles up. We only have Brick, Mangold, & Decker under big contracts. It would'nt of hurt, but im not complaining either, Cant just give revis his way especially at 16, id only take em one year for the 12 then put the ball in his court next off season
He's listening to the wrong people. Always referencing the influence of his deuce bag uncle Sean Gilbert. Gilbert is dumb as rocks and an asshole
God I hope Jamal Charles runs right over and leaves that loser without a NFL contract ever again. (although with 2 broken legs he would be better than some of the corners out there)
Oh ok...running somebody over and shaking their socks off is two different things, but i see what u mean. Charles is a bad boy.
Im JK, I randomly posted Charles after I looked at the Pats schedule, it just so happened that I saw he injured a CB today.
If you don't believe that a guy is going to fit into the team well you don't pursue him under any circumstances. Revis doesn't fit well on the teams he plays for. He was a major distraction on multiple occasions with the Jets, leading his teammates into a "me first" place over and over again. He was a distracted tourist last year in TB, complaining about how he was used. This despite signing a record breaking contract that should have had him doing absolutely everything he could to give the Bucs their money's worth. He's talking about the Jets more than the Pats in New England this summer. You have to be a team player. You have to be 100% committed to wherever you are and whatever contract you're playing under. You have to understand that when you start talking loudly about your money you're creating a bad situation for everybody around you and that situation lingers even when you finally get your money. Look at Mo Wilk. He's due a new contract and it will be a big one. The media is talking about his situation all the time. He's tamping things down, knowing that he's going to get paid and not wanting to be a distraction when the team has bigger fish to fry. He knows every time he talks about money it's going to have an effect on his teammates. So he doesn't get drawn out on an issue that is going to get resolved in the end. When he signs his deal he'll have fat years and lean years in it. He won't be holding out because a lean year that he signed up for is on the horizon. That's a team player.
We have a fundamental disagreement about the importance of a CB in general and in specific about a CB's ability to play man coverage. I don't feel like relitigating that right now. I know you think that can be separated from the team player analysis, but in fact I think it has infected your view of whether Revis was or was not a good fit for the Jets. For me it is obvious, they let him go and the quality of the Jet secondary last year plummeted. It cost them games. But I don't want to relitigate, as I said. I will say about Wilkerson it is far from a foregone conclusino that the Jets will reward his approach. Let's see how that plays out.
Im sure if you played at Revis level and your next year you were only due to 1M for the season you would hold out too , the all situation was missmanaged on both parts. Revis still likes the Jets and im pretty sure he wont stay in new england and he prolly picked them so that we see his talents twice this year. I dont consider him either the victim or the guilty , woody missmanaged the situation and thats why he holds personal grudge against Revis. I still respect Revis and he was the best player ive seen in a jets uniform ( ofc im young). To conclude i do not think we are hopeless without Revis we got a good future potentially but this "Revis the evil" starts to be sort of anoying, playing corner its his job and he gets it done.
You play for the contract you signed. When Revis held out he was in a year where he was going to get paid only $1M. The following year he would have been paid $15M. Do you seriously think the Jets were cutting Darrelle Revis in his prime over a one year bump to $15M? Contracts cut both ways. Yes, they are over-weighted in favor of the team but it's not like Revis was going to get paid nothing into perpetuity, he just happened to be in the salary-cap helping low year of the deal HE SIGNED in 2007.
The Jets went 8-8 with crappy CB's last year. The Bucs went 4-12 with really good ones. It's just not a position that has the impact that you think it does. I'm not going to relitigate in a major fashion either but you need to show me a team paying it's CB's through the nose on a capped roster that has ever won anything before you're going to make any headway with me in the argument. Yes, it's freaking wonderful to have great CB's making peanuts the way the Seahawks did last year. They also had a QB making peanuts. That's kind of golden.
It wasn't for $1 million, that was just a cap savings number. He got paid his money up front, the average of his contract over the life is the true number. If I sign a 2 year $20 million deal but for cap purposes the first year I get $19.5 million and the second year I get $500,000, I can't cry heading into my second year I'm only getting paid $500,000. That's what Revis did. Same thing Thomas Jones in the last year of his contract. _
Stop acting like signing revis wouldn't make this defense scary elite. Revis, Milliner, AA, & Pryor = LOB 2.0. PLUS that front three?!?! Plus Demario & Coples emerging... And on the offensive side u got two RB's thats like what we had in 2010 with two running QBs.. Clock killers galore... But after writing all this it just helps me realize how close we are to being good im digging idziks formula, if milliner takes an early leap & mcdougle pans out, were still have crazy potential
