At this point If I'm Rex Ryan I beat the Living #### out of Revis for potentially crapping on my own career as well as every other player in the bunker.... Then I water board him.
I said it on around page 3 of the original thread... But, I'll bet my house that the Jets NEVER EVER EVER draft a player represented by these Clowns...... I'm pretty sure ATL and SD feel the same way.
No, that's not going to happen. The only way Revis never plays another game is if he has an accident before he gets back on the field. There are no scenarios in which this doesn't get resolved by the beginning of the season next year. It's not in the Jets best interest to hold Revis hostage once he has clearly shown that he would rather sit than play for them again. He has too much value in terms of trade for the Jets not to leverage that into improving the team. The "let him sit for three years" people are stuck on two items that are really important to the overall situation. First, the Jets have a huge investment in Revis in terms of talent. They traded up and used a 1st and a 2nd round draft pick to acquire him. If you zero out that value the Jets are going to take a real long-term hit in competitiveness. Secondly, it would be bad for player relations in the extreme for the Jets to just sit on Revis as this drags out over the years. You don't want people in your locker room muttering about how other people are being treated by the team. Look at the fallout from the Leon Washington debacle last season, and the Jets were just following sound business practices in that situation. This is going to get resolved before it gets to armageddon for either side, because neither side can predict where that leads.
Work stoppage? The flipside is that they have resigned Nick and the Brick on enormous deals without any ill-will whatsoever. I think that those examples of how players are treated are exponentially more impactful than anything that has gone on with Leon. "Mangold and Brick played well, showed up, and got huge deals without any problems."
Someone should type up a summary timeline of this whole thing so we can laugh at all the rumors and hype later. Not me, I'm too lazy. Especially all this stuff about watches and whores.
My point is that, in most cases both sides will not want to take the chance on a future gamble, as that is obviously out of their control. I am not so sure that Revis wants to gamble that the Jets will start 1-2 or 0-3 in order to secure a larger payday; I think that he is bluffing right now, pure and simple. Likewise, the Jets front office does not want to gamble that they will start 3-0 against the likes of the Ravens, Patriots and Dolphins. Revis is holding out to maximize the monetary return that he "controls"; he is banking on that neither side wants to play the game of chicken for real--meaning regular season. The Jets have made 2 known market-worthy offers and continue to talk privately about a mutually agreeable compromise position. Letting Opening Day come and go is a gamble that neither side would rationally want to take in my analysis.
Where is the post about Rex being at Revis's door?? I've looked at the last few pages and I don't even see a post about it?
People need to relax and wait to see what happens in week 1. If Revis doesn't report for the week 1 kickoff......then i'll grab a pitchfork and join the mob. By then...it will actually matter. Right now....the best approach is to forget this is even going on...and talk about other Jets related topics. This thread has built up so much anxiety and frustration from within the fanbase....it's getting out of hand. Some posters that are normally level-headed and insightful....have done a total 180 because of this holdout...and sound like buffoons now. I don't like this holdout, i don't like the fact Revis was a no-show in camp, i absolute hate his agents....but i'm not going to let all that skew my judgement on the bigger picture....which is "Revis hasn't done any real damage to this team or to the season...as of yet". I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt until he proves he doesn't deserve it.
I hope they got a good conversation and make a end to this all!! cool neighbourhood to live in :jets: Do you know for sure that he didn't watch a re-run of episode 1 of hard knocks?? In that episode Rex knocks on his door as well :beer:
where does this lockout is a certainty ting come from....I, like others in the know put th elockout chance at about 10.
The value of the Jets' investment in Revis is a market value, and that value is in inverse proportion to what it is perceived it will take to sign him to a new contract. In other words, it ain't worth much.
I think the owners saying the "enhanced" season starts in 2012 was a huge sign they will lock out. Throw out the current CBA, re-write it during 2011 and come back with the "new" NFL in 2012. They will spin it as new and improved, but that is shit.
in negotiating with the Jets they struck out. Jets didnt budge on Kendall or Baker.. NOw that F&S actually has a top notch player they are holding Jets (and Chargers) hostage
I would love for the gov't to audit Schwartz and Feinsod and check to see if they are paying Revis or Jackson in any way until they get thier money
If this drags on to the point that the Jets and Revis agents are actively shopping him around there will definitely be buyers involved and likely a bidding war for him. Once Revis agents can talk to other teams they will discover what Revis value actually is in terms of guaranteed compensation and they can make the choices necessary to realize that compensation. If he wants full free agent value he's going to have to become a free agent and the only way to do that is by fulfilling his contract to the Jets. If he wants out of NY then he's going to have to come down on his demands and work out a 4 year deal somewhere that lets him hit free agency again afterwards and in that scenario his trade value would be good. Right now the odds are that Revis is personally invested in this holdout and seeing it only as him against the Jets, with only his pot of gold as an acceptable outcome at the end of the rainbow. If he ever got a chance to talk to the other teams he'd quickly discover that the Jets are the realists here and that would likely cause him to reshape his thinking.
