Maybe I'm being foolish, but I don't understand the concern by guaranteeing most of the money for at least the first few years of the extension. Is anyone worried that Revis will lose it that quickly? Sure, he might not be otherworldly, but he'll still be a top 3 corner. Even if it is going to be 12/120, guarantee fully the first 4 or 5 years and a large percentage of the next few after that. Done.
You want to hear something funny..... He had a much different take on the radio down here. He placed complete blame on the Jets. I am not sugar coating that. He was really hammering the Jets. So I find it surprising that he had a more neutral take as you are describing.
I call bullshit on the notion that Revis would be in camp if not for that conversation. Absolute bullshit. There was no way he was gonna play this year for 1 million dollars. Not after the year he had
The Darrelle Revis Holdout Thread (Revis Tweets w/Whore) He tried to push neutrality, but it was clear he put more blame on the Jets.
The Darrelle Revis Holdout Thread (Revis Tweets w/Whore) I agree. I certainly acknowledge the significance of that conversation, but it sure as hell didn't force DR's hand.
Geiger is all about the Jets on twitter. Talking up LT, playing Madden with the Jets, says that thejetsblog.com and jetstwit are his favorite blogs, and reads anything by Cimini and Manish.
2 things.... He was a beat writer down here so it is an easy way out to clobber the Jets. The show he was on, the host has dolphins balls in his mouth 100% of the time. It was an accident I was even listening. The other you mentioned... He is friends with Feinsod and Schwartz, oh brother. Talk about an unbiased opinion....lmao
So its Saturday with no signing insight. Fucking cowlick got us all excited for nothing. He better get bashed throughout the media for his tweets about a deal done.
man I am getting pissed at Revis. he is turning down a ton of money and acting like a doosh because of his stupid fat uncle. So I am done just taking it. I say we, as Jets fans, unite to bombard his Twitter account. Perhaps many of you have been doing this as well already. Here is what I tweeted to Revis24: "good job ruining your career you diabolical super idiot. i hope the jets force you to sit our for 3 years out of spite." Yeah. That'll get him to sign.
Agreed. This talking point is as stupid as the idea that Rex saying he is awesome made him hold out. Sure, if Rex didnt say he was great, no one would have known. Ridiculous. Bottom line is he was never gonna play under his current deal this year
The Darrelle Revis Holdout Thread (Revis Tweets w/Whore) Unfortunately, the other on board option seems to be panicking that our season is over already offensively.
He won't bc the rest of the media said he was wrong immmediately. Also, it was obvious on Tuesday when the mtg he said happened didnt, his info was false. Even if he signs today, my opinion would be that it clearly is only coincidental to cowlishaw's report
such as??? All we are left with is the power of the mass of people that we are. we can either all unite and bombard Revis and his agents with emails and tweets and let them definitely know they are losing the PR battle... or we can do nothing and fret over every detail we don't know. i know, pointing and clicking, typing, and pointing and clicking again is too hard. its ok. no need for argument here, i know what we all will do. nothing. just like people always do.
His ability is NOT in question it's his character that is, this is the SECOND time in four years that he's held out for more money(don't forget he's still under the contract that he originally held out on in the first place...WTF) How don't you know he won't do it again, would you be willing to take that gamble of losing 50-60 million if it was your money. The only way I can see something like this happening is if they put a clause in the contract voiding the contract & making MEvi$ return ALL the money if he were to try & hold out again. I don't see this happening.
