Id love for them to go after his signing bonus....that would put a nice dent in his funds, plus all the fines and no pay check for possibly two years....take that you greedy little shit
I never said no impact, I asked what more impact on the Jets' personnel budget could $16 million/year have than $12 million/year. My rhetorical answer was not enough to wreck the team's spending. Sure, keep repeating it your argument. Eventually i'll just come around. Congrats. You saw how much time he spent around the coaches and players on Hard Knocks and you're trying to tell me that he's hands off? How is it that you think he would spend more time caring about whether or not David Clowney is pushing himself during ST practice reps than where his millions of dollars are going? Probably like this: Long winded that amounts to little more than "He's not worth it."
For holdouts? I've seen it done for players who retired/quit unexpectedly (Ricky Williams) or failed to perform due to legal issues(Vick) but I cannot remember it being done to holdouts.
To my knowledge NO buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut if some one is ballsy enough it certainly would be a big option for the side being hurt by the breech
Once teams start suing players for holdouts, which I am not even sure is true in a legal sense in this situation, players will start suing for other issues, like malpractice suits against teams for their medical indiscretions, players could sue for a myriad of things. It's a precedent that I doubt the NFLPA and the NFL want anything to do with. I don't want lawyers crawling all over the NFL any more than they already are.
He insisted on a 6 year deal and that is why he held out the first time. So, he is now sitting out on what he himself begged to get. It's no wonder the Jets are telling him to fuck off. At least i think that's how it went down although maybe it was the Jets that wanted 6 years.
I meant suing him for breach of contract. It would have been kind of hard to due that while Charlie Casserly is keeping an open line throughout the season with Gilbert's agents.
What I mean by hands off is that I don't think he's making football decisions. Him asking about Clowney isn't really anything meaningful IMO. The Jets are his toy, of course he's going to be hanging out paying attention. I could be completely wrong, just my guess.
He is non performer since he under contract so he is actually breaching his contract & the NYJs most probably could go after at least some part of the signing bonus
I'm pretty sure it was the Jets who wanted the 6 year deal and Revis demanded more money because of it. Can't really blame him for that.
The Jets don't need to sue Revis at this point and so they likely won't. They're sitting on his future ability to earn money in the NFL and there's nothing he can do about that at this point but report and make their control horizon much shorter. If this goes into the season I expect it to be a very passive-aggressive exercise that goes something like: Darrelle Revis: I'm not playing until my contract is addressed. NY Jets: We don't expect Darrelle Revis to play for us this season. There comes a point at which Darrelle Revis is out of options and then things flow again. I think we're past the point at which this can be resolved amicably with no future repercussions. The Jets are going to be in damage control mode for the rest of Revis tenure with the team whatever that is.
I rather let the attorneys determine that since you & I do not have enough knowledge in the law to debate it. However you can ASSUME that from the NFL side they are toeing the line when it comes to following the current CBA to the letter of the law to insure what you mentioned does not occur
And again the fact that either Tannenbaum or Woody Johnson himself approached Revis in the locker room after the Indy game or thereabouts and told him how great he was and that they wanted to make him a Jet for life that gets ignored. With his agents, with the people they know are advising him, they made that mistake and now it's costing them. I'm certainly not a fan of the Revis holdout or the amount of money he's asking for, but when people get angry because he's still got 3 years left on his deal, they need to direct that anger at a front office that had 3 other top-notch players to think about and they let their emotions get the best of them in the locker room - and maybe even a head coach who, for all of his charisma and coaching ability, made the mistake of gushing effusively in press conferences about the player to the point of having a man-crush. Revis isn't the only bad guy here.
No sorry it was Revis who refused the 6 year contract & the buyback by the NYJs for the last 2 years comes from.
Fair enough. My guess is that he probably treats his $635 million investment as a little more than a toy.
Yeah, I edited my post after I first made it. I think it was the Jets and that was causing chaos among other teams.
I think that's true. I have heard Johnson say many times that Tannenbaum makes ALL personnel decision..period. I think that even came out a little in episode 1 of hard knowcks when Ryan said he let him have some say in Connor. That pretty much said that he had none in everybody else..zero.
