sport?....let's get something straight, chum....your post came off like it was written by a bandwagon fan....not a diehard. I'm sorry if you don't get that.....that's not my problem. It is what it is. And if you're gonna spout off like a bandwagon fan, then you'll be treated like one here. If you want to put your fruit of the looms up on pedastal....that's fine....how that affects the Jets' roster...is beyond me. The Jets told Revis they wanted to make him the highest paid CB in the league.....so unless he's getting his .50 cents more than Aso's contract.....then obviously the Jets haven't met that criteria yet. You can blame Al Davis for that. O Rly.....well, if Matt Birk was getting 16 million a year this year....you don't think Mangold would look at that with the stink eye and hold out? There was nobody fucking up the market (like Aso) for Mangold....so that's a weak comparison. Like i said...the ridiculous demands stem from Al Davis's skewed view of value....everybody knows Aso isn't worth that kind of money.....but guess what!! He still got the contract didn't he......and Revis was TOLD that he was going to be compensated as the highest paid CB in the league. Do the math. these are your personal opinions.....they hold no bearing on what will happen or what HAS happened behind closed doors. BTW, Wilson moving to nickel WON'T hinder his progress.....any diehard fan would know that though, right?
Yeah that's what I mean, he needs to sign I see him waiting for the best he can get. Sooner or later he has to realize that the Jets are offering (this much) and aren't budging off that number and just take the deal. All signs point to a lockout in 2011, if he has that fire for competition like we all know he has he'll come around eventually. At least that's my take on it this hour.
The Darrelle Revis Holdout Thread (status unknown) Blah blah blah. No one should be complaining that he's not finishing out his initial contract. The Jets themselves approached him and said his contract should be redone. I'm really not sure why that tired point continues to be debated. Perfectly legitimate to complain that he's not here with such a generous offer on the table. Even more legitimate to complain that he by all accounts refused that offer without even discussing details. This "he should be playing out his contract" nonsense hasn't been relevant since January.
revis tweeted some chick saying "follow back", she tweeted "someone's getting paid today" "let me see hold ya check" just passing it along gents
This makes me wonder... Let's say he does hold out this year, there is no lockout, and the salary-cap reamins roughly the same (adjusting for the usual year-over year increase). For the moment ignore the "well depends on if we win the Lombardi or go 8-8" argument... Does the offer from the Jets really change that much from what it is now?
Alright! Now I have one old man calling me a homer and the other calling me anti-Jets. I'm in a crusty crossfire!
Revis He isnt the only one who reported on Revis signing Wed-Sat. This guy Reno over at OSB (where I often hang out) has been a good NFL source and said he got it from someone at Pitt. Who knows maybe same source at the Dallas guy.
Just making him aware of the what goes on around here between the realists & the homers & he should prepare himself to be peppered by the homers when he post posts that the homers dislike
Wait, what?!? They said he was the best CB in the league, and he was, for 1 year, and they said they wanted to give him a new contract. When the F did they say this? (and again, nice rack)
yea Revis said he wanted to be highest paid. Jets said they wanted to give hima new deal. Nothing about top paid. Im sure Tanny knew Aso's contract was well overstated and didnt wanna offer highest dollar. If that were true he woulda been signed already and paid
At what point do the Jets say fuck it we will revisit it the next year we play football. I don't believe they will let it consume them once the season starts.
I don't think I heard that. You're definitely juggling Revis' balls, but I didn't get the rest. Edit: But have a good time making fun of old people when your argument sucks.
Did they say they wanted to make him the highest paid CB in the league on a yearly basis or on a total value of contract basis? You don't know, do you? And please don't give me eye strain with your answer. Actually, I don't think they ever said that at all. They said we think you are the best CB in the league and we want to give you a raise..period. The rest has all been made up.
