Revis Not to Go on IR (Update: Officially IR'd)

Yeah only one, you would have to select that player to be the designated "Come off the IR" guy. I guess Rex is holding onto that spot just incase someone else gets injured.

 

Certainly sounds to me like they don't want to spend the money to bring in a replacement..as Mehta says there is no chance he could come back this year and even Ryan says the chances are 0.0002 % so what other explanation is there?

Rex Ryan handicapped Revis' chances of returning in time for the Super Bowl on Feb. 3 at 0.0002%. That's 0.0002% too much. #nyj

 

It seems pretty basic stuff, not sure why the OP has A) any confusion over something so simple and obvious and B) why he had a mental breakdown over it.

Chill out. Lots of teams would do something like this with the best player on the team. If this was a third or fourth string guy, IR him for sure, what are you really losing? Why have to lose Revis for a season when it's possible you might not have to? A roster spot? Yeah, I'd much rather 100% lose Revis for the season instead of waiting it out on the chance (albeit a very slim one) that he could come back so we can sign some future CFLer off a practice roster to take a half dozen snaps a game.

 

Manish is a doctor?

 

I'm sure Ryan spoke to the Doctors.

 

Good Call Rex.

It's not like there is a roster spot at stake here or anything... Or even a temporary injured reserve now. Nah, he'll just take another opportunity to boast about a place he's never been - the superbowl.

 

Rex Ryan is holding out hope that Darrelle Revis could be back for the Super Bowl.

The Jets coach said he wants to at least wait until after Revis has knee surgery – likely a week or two away – before he would consider putting him on season-ending IR.

“Let’s see what happens when he goes through surgery, said Ryan. “Because if there’s that 0.0002% chance that he can play in the Super Bowl, why would take the option away from him?”

“Obviously, we're not going to put him out there if he's at risk," Ryan added. "Let’s just put it this way: if you’re fortunate enough to make it to that big game and he’s fortunate enough to be healthy, I know our fans would want him playing just like I would want him playing.”

Revis tore his ACL last week in a non-contact injury playing against the Miami Dolphins.

The Super Bowl would be roughly four months after Revis’ knee surgery, making it highly unlikely that he would be back in time.

"Let’s get through the surgery," Ryan said. "You don’t have to make a snap decision and say, “Let’s just place him on I.R. and replace him with somebody.” If you are fortunate enough to get there, why wouldn’t you …. At least if he does well in the surgery and he is healthy for that and he is targeted for that – then why wouldn’t you believe in yourself enough to give yourself that opportunity?"
"I’m not guaranteeing it’s going to happen by any stretch," Ryan added. "Our trainers are confident that Darrelle’s going to come back from this injury. At somepoint, they think he’s going to be a 100 percent from this injury. Now when that time is, I’m not sure. Obviously we feel great about that, being Jet fans and being in this organization. When that time is.. I’m not sure. But I think you’ll have a much better understanding of it after he has the surgery."

For now, Ryan said that he's fine with just a 52-man roster.

Expect the Jets to place Revis on season-ending I.R. shortly after his surgery. It's highly unlikely that the Jets medical staff would clear Revis to play in a game in February.

I am sure he was making a joke, what I'm not at all sure about is why the Jets won't IR him...somebody needs to explain that with some facts.

 

We will probably find out Tannenbaum put some obscure clause in his contract that says if he goes on IR we owe him 100mil and he gets his immediate release. Sounds like a Tanny move to me.

 

Or just think about things before you post and not have immediately knee-jerk reactions to things and pounce on something as being negative. You can be negative when it's something logical to be negative about, but this isn't.

Plus it works both ways, I would bet that if they had slapped him on the IR right away and then found out that his injury actually wouldn't put him out all season and he could return for the playoffs (if we make it, which I am well aware is a big if) then you'd be one of the first to freak out about it being stupid to put him on it so early just to free up a roster spot.

 

You can but it can only be used once and nobody...nobody...thinks Revis is coming back this year. They would probably want to save that for somebody that might break a hand or something.

 

That is a new rule but you can only do it with one player per year. If he comes out of surgery and the doc says 0% chance he can play in the superbowl you've wasted your non-season ending IR slot. The player must be designated for return when you put him on IR. So as I understand it you only get one shot at this. Maybe I am not understanding it correctly.

If that's the case it's probably best to wait until they know for sure what his chances are for recovery after surgery in a week or so prior to blowing there one "non-season ending slot", isn't it?

Better to blow a roster spot for a couple of weeks than for the majority of the season.

 

Bottom line is he asked a logical question. As I said, the Jets are begining to resemble an orginization that is more concerned with their perception in the media than winning football games. Just fucking IR the guy; even if we make the playoffs AND the Super Bowl, I wouldn’t want Revis on the field for a few reasons.

1) We made it to the super bowl WITHOUT HIM! we would obviously have the team to compete.

2) Why jeperdize the guys career (most on this board believe Revis is the best defensive player in the NFL, present company discluded, suggs)

3) We should free up the roster spot ASAP so we can get another corner (not a fucking RB) in the defensive backfield. Guy needs to learn the system and get into "football shape"

all in all there is no logical reason to keep Revis from going on IR, it actually defies logic...SOJ

 

hahahahahahahah

now that's good old rex ryan
