I don't think anybody needs to relax as nobody really cares. The only problem is the Jets have no money to pay him and no money to replace him so hopefully Wilson steps up.
The Jets have creative, smart people running the organization. They will be able to rework his deal when they want to.
Its just conversation, my AC is blasting, I am pretty relaxed. If you already expected it, why didn't you break the story? lol :beer:
I don't think tying up so much money into 1 single position is considered creative and smart. Revis deal should be visited in 2013, but the issue is the way Revis is acting.
yeah, locking up the greatest player the franchise has ever had is awful business. Revis isn't doing anything wrong here, he didn't say he was holding out. None of this is unexpected.
Certainly the Holmes deal is and if the same smart, creative people had drafted a true starting CB in 2010 they wouldn't have even needed Cromartie..so yeah, they are bad deals.
Wait so Revis is preparing to hold out when the season starts, correct? If he were to miss OTA or training camp you tack on 3 extra years to his deal. From a financial standpoint, wouldn't it make more sense for Revis to play the last two years on his contract and hit FA as the best corner in the game? Someone please explain this to me. Does Revis really benefit a lot from forcing another contract than going to FA in a couple years? Hypothetically if the Jets call his bluff, he would sit out a whole season but then be required to go to training camp/OTAs again, sit out another season then become a FA?
The jury is still out on Wilson. We rarely if ever saw him play as 1/2 corner not because of lack of skill but because he has two #1 corners ahead of him. I think Wilson is going to be a very effective corner if we need him to be the #2 corner. If you compare him to Revis he is going to look bad, just like every other CB in the league
It wouldn't make much sense but nothing is too farfetched these days. From what I see, I think he is set to take 1M bonus for attending camp. If he were to sit out the season, essentially he is forcing the JETS hand. I am assuming when he becomes a FA the market value will be much lower. Perhaps someone else can give better insight.
The jury is still out on Wilson, but it really shouldn't be, meaning if he were a clearly successful pick, the jury would have come in with a thumbs up by now. Some semblance of better play from him going forward may prevent the pick from being seen as a truly awful one, but we already know it was not a great, or even very good, pick. It wasn't.
Not my point...Wilson was so bad at the end of 2010 he wasn't even the starting nickel, I think he was playing dime if that. Cromartie was brought in on a one year deal. If Wilson even looked like a starter at the end of 2010 the most they would have given Cromartie was another year or two. Instead he was able to get a 4 year deal out of them...so now what if Wilson really does become better? He will still be sitting on the bench for another 3 years. (As far as starting is concerned)
Yeah this is why I am confused. If he misses the whole season, does he really force the Jets hand? Because according to nyjetscap, the contract goes void after 2013-2014 season. So if the holdout clause is only for training camp and OTAs, then he could miss a season due to holdout, have to come back to training camp and OTAs in 2013 spring/summer then holdout the season again and become a FA? It just doesn't make any sense to me. I don't see how Revis would be in any position this year to have leverage. Next year maybe since the Jets get a cap hit if Revis becomes a FA, but this year I just don't see the benefit for Revis
Well I would argue more the FO had the wrong gameplan in 2010 and they had unrealistic expectations if they though a corner brought in at 2010 rookie at the end of the 1st round could be a starter at nickel, a new position to him, and then expect him to learn playing as a #2 and be good at both. I would put more blame on the FO than the actual skill of Wilson. I also think, which many people agreed at the time, that chasing Nnamdi was stupid. It was amazing to think about, but they probably could have gotten Joseph instead of Cro and maybe even Braylon also, but they held out trying to get Nnamdi
Maybe he likes to gamble? lol. What goes on in these athletes heads half the time is mind boggling. It doesn't help that the media is gassing his head even more, going on and on about how he deserves more money - even though he has gotten paid substantially.
He could but that is 9 million dollars in the bank. I doubt he would give that up, after all he is all about the money.
Now you really missed my point because I AM putting all the blame on the front office..they are terrible. Between Cromartie and Holmes we have almost 40 million dollars on the books that we can't get out from under. For them? Really?
