The 31 and the 34 for Revis. Gets the Jets two prime picks in this draft and puts the uncertainty in Revis value fully in the 49ers court. They can make Revis a big long-term offer or they can offer him a great 3 year payday ($3 years 48 million, replacing his $6M this year with a lot more than that) or they can just take the rental and hope that if Revis gets a ring with the 49ers he'll be inclined to re-up with them at less than a fortune and a half. If they get the ring they won't even care that they gave up the 31 and 34 for a rental.
To be honest, I kinda hope they do trade Him to SF for some picks. So I can get off the insane ride already.
Exactly...... And I know you'll disagree, but the last of the four picks you take Matieu. Guy is slight,y bigger than Aaron Glenn was, and you can't go to NE without three. If you were lucky enough to get Jordan at nine, and two offensive plAyers in the middle...TE,, something else...you'd have to be happy.
I just don't get the hatred towards Revis... You hate him because he wants to be paid because he is the best @ his position and could become one of thebest ever? Look at how the JETS are treating him... What has Revis ever done other than Shut down half the field? He is a Leader on and off the field and gets treated like shit for NO REASON. I have NEVER EVER put a player before a team NEVER! But If Revis is traded, I'm done w/ this years tix and will most likely sell em. Woody Johnson is the bigger problem folks. How can you not see it? The Tebow lies, the BS Press Conferences, Everything this guy does is based on putting/Keeping $$ in his pocket and NOT about caring about the fans, the team and especially his players.... That is the real problem here.. Stop acting like Revis is a drug using, alcoholic, stay out all night, locker room pariah. He is the Opposite and your anger is misguided... I'm out.
So holding out as a rookie, constant leveraging through the media, making fun of fellow players contracts over bitterness over his own contract situation..asking for significantly more per year than anyone else at his position...all of this is Woody's fault? You people are UNBELIEVEABLE. As disgusted as I am w/ the team I love's current state...NOTHING has been more face palming than the bitching,finger pointing & self defeating attitude of this fan base.
Royal Tee// Up in Foxboro, some QB name Tom Brady took a paycut down to some 9M/year so his team could sign better players. And he is a QB. How does THAT compare with our money-whore CB?
Good post, Tee. Funny how the Trade Revis crowd never addresses how much of a model player he is. So he wants to get paid what he is worth. That makes him a bad person???? I don't get that. Anyone here who uses the term Mevis is an idiot for doing so. Name another player on the team who after having established his market value has voluntarily given a chunk of that money back. There isn't a single one. The problem with the Jets as you say is the circus, and that is squarely on Woody Johnson. So the idea is get rid of our best player, and we get to "keep" Sanchez and Woody. Wow, what a deal. If Revis is dealt, and Sanchez is the starter, this team will probably not even win five games next year. WHo wants to look forward to that? And for those who think that short term pain is necessary and will be followed by success in 2014 (without Revis), think again. In 2014 if the Jets are lucky they will have either a vet Qb some other team traded to the Jets because they didn't want them, or a rookie Qb. And if you are counting on that rookie Qb to be as successful as Luck or Wilson (I don't add RGIII here, because his situation is not looking too great now despite the playoff appearances), try taking that to the bank and see what you can get for it. And of course the Jets will likely have a new HC in 2014, especially if Revis is gone this year. I have pretty much given up on Ryan, so that's not all bad, but do I trust Woody Johnson to get a better HC in 2014? No. Trading Revis will be just another part of the diarrhea in the shitstorm that has become the New York Jets, thanks to Woody Johnson.
A big part of the fans inability to cope with the in's-and-out's of the Jets lately is because there have been a lot of in's-and-out's with the Jets lately. 2007 - Jet's suck and Chad gets run out of town (LG kills the team essentially) 2008 - Favre comes in and Jets look great and then collapse 2009 - Sanchez and the Jets are like a roller coaster all year and then finish well 2010 - Revis holdout/Holmes shows up a quarter through/Jets blown out by Pats but finish well 2011 - The Jets reality show is in full bloom with lots of back-biting and the anonymous sources 2012 - Tebow show and the offense looks pathetic in camp because... well, it's pathetic. It's hard to keep an even keel when the boat is rocking as hard as it has been the last five or six seasons. On the bright side it's pretty obvious that it's not rocking now because the Revis situation is playing out without snipers from the clubhouse joining in.
Zach, I often agree with you, but you are grossly misstating what went down with Brady's contract. From the Huffington Post: First, the two-time NFL Most Valuable Player, despite some perceptions, did not really take a pay cut with this new deal. It might have sounded that way with salaries of $7 million in 2015, $8 million the next year and $9 million in 2017, far below the going rate for superstar QBs. Instead, Brady gets a $30 million signing bonus, payable over the next three years, and $57 million overall in a contract that will run through the 2017 season, when he will be 40 years old. Other than backups who are little more than insurance policies, how many quarterbacks even make it on to a roster at 40? Essentially, he gets $33 million guaranteed for the next two seasons, and he's surely worth it considering that Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and, most likely, Joe Flacco, will earn more in 2013 and '14. Add up each of their Super Bowl rings and it adds up to the number Brady owns. ... Brady actually will get more guaranteed money; the final three seasons are guaranteed against injury; and they could be guaranteed in total depending on Brady meeting certain requirements, including being on the active roster for the final game of 2014. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/27/tom-brady-contract-patriots-extension_n_2771387.html In short, Brady's deal and is situation have no real comparison to Revis's. Stop with the nonsense comparison.
seriously i thought this was a jets board. brady aint shit, he didnt take a pay cut, he took a cap friendly contract that gives him a shitload of money and lets him play till his bitch made heart desires. no way revis would do that... none at all... (this last line is sarcasm, just in case it isn't picked up)
Well, to be specific, none of us really knows what Revis would do if he were in Brady's situation. But that's the whole point - their situations are quite different. Age being the main difference, and how much longer their respective careers will likely be.
I love Revis BUT he gives us most value to replace a collection of guys with top draft picks. We 1) get better through drafting for 3 positions while we get cheaper to resign more FA. 2) We cant trade Sanchez because his cap hit is too high and no body would give anything for him. This year is a wash, and Revis make our defense slightly better. Last year we did good without him. Trade your biggest asset for quality before you lose him for free. and BTW, I'm all for Revis getting paid, but this team is so bad at other areas that if we pay him what he wants, we can't put out a good team. I wish we could find a medium so he gets payed but still able to get other quality guys. Not gonna happen tho...
Apparently San Fran isn't looking to grab Revis. Their cap is a problem and apparently they have "enough" talent
Wow. Hopefully we trade "MEVI$" tomorrow, so i don't' have to read delusional misinformed posts like this again (at least for a year).
No, I hate him because he wants to be paid more than any other player at his position and he doesn't care that it will actually make it harder for the team to win a championship while he is on the roster. I am a Jets fan. I only care if the team is getting closer to (or farther away from) a championship. I really don't give a damn who is on the roster as long as the team is getting closer to a championship. Signing Revis to $16mil a year takes the team farther away from a championship.
It would be worth it if the Jets finished last and Manziel declared for the draft. That is the only way it would be sufferable.
He's a great guy, but he's a mercenary. I don't hold that against him. If my career were 10 years at the most, I'd want to make the most I could for every one of those as well. That said, you can't blame the team for trying to get the most they can for him- given that there's no way he'll sign for what the Jets can afford to pay him. It's not like Woody isn't spending up to the cap every year, we're not Tampa Bay where we don't spend half our cap. There's no room for Revis for the foreseeable future. Given that, it makes sense to get some value for him while you can. I'll root for him wherever he goes, same way I rooted for Aaron Glenn or Adrian Murrell back in the day.
