Thanks- He's also losing weight. What I'm saying is look at last year with Jenkins. Yeah it'd be damn hard to work without Revis, but if we had to do it, we could. Obviously things would have to change. The Jets wear green by the way.
don't be a dick you mentioned he did fine in baltimore without revis.... its not even a viable argument. he did fine without jenkins too... oh wait apples oranges.
I'm talking about Rex, good lord!! If REX were to have to work this defense without the great Revis. It is my belief he could do it, and do it well. That is all- I know you love Revis, i think he's great too. I'm talking about Rex.
What I was referring to has nothing to do with the buyback. In usual years, a player can show up in week 10 of the season, and still get the year counted towards the point where he becomes a free agent. My understanding (and this is what is referred to in the original post) is that this is not the case this year, and any players who do not report before August 10 will lose all credit for the year if they do not sign a new contract. That would mean that Revis would be in the exact same position next year as he is this year, so it would be monumentally stupid not to show up.
If it was a good idea to pay Revis all that money, we would have paid him by now. Let him hold out until we find a deal that works for both of us. I think it's great that we paid Brick because it proves that we can sign someone if they are reasonable.
Had enough of Revis, he's so greedy. I really hope he wakes up & smells the coffee and accept the Jets offer. $100m oh wow, I bet all of us put together don't make that sort of money. Greedy schmuck.
I loved Revis as much as the next guy, but I have to say, I'm souring on him pretty quickly based on his stance the last few weeks. I know, the man is the best DB in the league, bar none, but one of the things that I was so impressed with this season was how humble he seemed to be. Key word, 'seemed' to be. Going back to his rookie deal and remembering there was a hold out as well to get the very contract that he now wants redone. Judging by how D'Brick went about his business and was rewarded, he's playing a dangerous game here. Make no mistake, that was Tanny's sending a message. There is no doubt the Jets are a better team with Revis on the field, but if this blossoms into something that can't be resolved within reason, then the team has to move on. Suppose he gets the ¢50 more than Aso got, does anybody really believe that he'll be content with that contract the minute another DB makes ¢50 more than him? I don't, and his recent behavior tells me so...
Contract option will compel Revis to attend Jets' camp Revis will NOT hold out. On the NFL website - it won't let me post link Disgruntled Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis will not hold out from training camp as he seeks a new contract, sources have told NFL Network insider Michael Lombardi. His decision to report when camp begins on Aug. 1 in Cortland, N.Y., is not based on the progress of current contract talks, but rather on the fact that he does not want to jeopardize a future guarantee he already has in his present contract. Revis has plenty of incentive to report. He has the option to void his current contract at the end of the 2010 season, but the Jets have the right to buy back the remaining two years at $20 million, fully guaranteed. If Revis were to miss any mandatory time due to a holdout, however, he might lose the guranteed portion of the contract. He would then be under contract for two more years, at $5 million in 2011 and $15 million in 2012. That potential guarantee is something he would not want to risk. The New York Daily News previously reported Revis is prepared to sit out training camp if his contract is not reworked. Revis wants a long-term deal, and the Jets want to give him a long-term deal, but until the Jets are willing to commit large guaranteed money, a new deal will not get done. The Jets are prepared to make Revis the richest defensive back in NFL history with a contract offer worth more than $100 million, sources recently told Newsday. According to the report, the Jets are willing to add six years to Revis' current deal, averaging around $12 million per season in addition to the $21 million he is already owed. The Jets have made Revis two offers, but he has rejected both. Revis, who is due to make $1 million in the fourth year of his six-year rookie deal, wants to be the league's highest-paid cornerback, surpassing the three-year, $45.3 million extension signed by Oakland's Nnamdi Asomugha last offseason.
I think i'm sending my Revis jerseys(got one in every color, DOH!) to Cleveland to join in the barnfire. This guy is pissing me off!
1. Rex wants to run his system with the Jets which requires a CB with Revis' talent. 2. The Jets don't have the Ravens' talent in the LB corps or the depth in the DLine. Aside from Bart Scott, there isn't one LB on the Jets with talent on-par to their analog on the Ravens. Pace comes in close to Adalius Thomas in his prime but he's still not the same.
Let him. I just want the Jets to stop blowing smoke up his ass about how good he is. Sure he's a fantastic player, but he's gotta grow up and realize what the definition of a contract is.
This is something that Florio reported and no one else. Given his track record I specifically searched for other people writing the same thing - couldn't find anyone who wasn't using Florio's article as the source. Did you see this elsewhere? Revis would be a fool to hold out regardless of whether or not it's true given the year of eligibility rule.
revis could care less about the 21 million for the last two years of his contract or the fans turning on him. he's not from new york and the loyalty thing is something the fans think of, not the players or the owners. revis is looking at the leon washington injury and see's one injury and his millions and ownerships high reguard for him evaporate in an instant. lets not forget what leon meant to this team prior to his injury. he was a core player and was one of the big 4. breaks his leg, and he's looking at just trying to get back to nfl level of play, never mind leon washington level of play. leon may never be that guy again, and he's lost millions already because of the injury. revis wants his fat contract with guaranteed signing bonus before the lockout occurs, so that money will not be a concern when the lockout happens! even if it means he's wearing a different uniform this season. fans get too caught up in the loyalty factor, or the fans turning on him, which the player could really care less, lebron anyone????? revis isn't in the ideal situation, but he's not without options. he could be such a cancer, they'd end up having to get rid of him for the team sake, ala moss, kendall, terrel owens and the many others from the past. revis wants his big signing bonus before the lockout, for security reasons.....
And I want a pony. That's nice that he wants a fat contract with a fat signing bonus. Guess what? He's already under contract - one that he held out for to begin with and got a much better deal than he should have at his draft position. It sounds like the Jets want to extend him to a nice deal, but not the ridiculous one he's demanding. He can demand it all he wants, bottom line is he's under contract for 3 more years and the Jets hold all the cards. If he holds out past 08/10, he's on the hook for another year. So why exactly, should the Jets meet his crazy demands? He plays for the Jets making more money than most players in the league or he sits home making nothing. Sounds like a tough decision.
I think that's just a Florio-ism. My understanding is that losing a year of FA eligibility means that when Revis' contract expires, he becomes a restricted free agent, regardless of the length of the initial contract. He'd still get all the money due to him in 2010, 2011 and 2012 (minus fines, of course). I don't think that's a pertinent possibility.
