Does this make sense? His value is higher than anyone we have ever had on the roster if we could get a teams 1st rd draft pick for the next 4 yrs 2011,2012,2013,2014 that would be insane talk about capitol return I say definately pay the man as the highest paid cb in the NFL, he's facing the top wr from day one and winning the matchups 6yrs 100mil 50mil garaunteed is reasonable in the uncapped year would lock him up.
A combination of both SOMEWHAT. He could be un-tradeable kinda like if Asomugha was traded I'm sure every team getting him would love to re-do his contract. Difference with Revis is he is ALLLLLLOT younger, so I'm sure there are a few teams out there that would pay him what he wants. Trading him would be a pain in the ass, and I would never want to do that.
Umm why in the hell would we want to even entertain the thought of trading him? Regardless of the contract situation, he is the main cog that makes this defense work.
No team would give 4 1st round picks for Revis. I doubt if you could even get two 1st rounders due to the financial compensation Revis would want.
No, Revis will easily generate two firsts and maybe a few more non 1st rounders. Cutler trade got 2 firsts. Revis is probably the best defender in the NFL.
Chances that ANY of those 1st rd picks turn into the best defensive player in the game again... slim to none. You don't treat a Revis like a Rhodes.
If the Panthers gave up 2 first rounders for Sean Gilbert I'm betting you could find a team to give up 2 first rounders for Revis + lower rounds. http://forums.theganggreen.com/showthread.php?t=57217
My guess is the way to approach the Revis trade window, if it occurs, is to go into the 2011 draft, if it occurs, with a couple of opportunities in the top 10 on the back burner. If the right player drops to say the 7 or 8 pick you trade Revis for that pick and the 1st rounder the following season. That gives you an instant young fill of your choice, probably in the defensive front 7 or maybe a free safety, and the prospect of another good pick the following season. The acquiring teams gets the best CB in football (that's what they see him as or they would not make the deal) locked up for 2 more years for 20 million and eventually Revis gets his contract from them. All of this assumes that Wilson and Cromartie look very good next season and Cromartie is signable at a livable deal.
fuck trading Revis....in any capacity. The Jets and Revis' camp will work it out...i have faith in Tannenbaum. Ask the Skins' if they'd trade away C.Bailey again in his prime.
From 1999 to 2003 the Redskins went 38-42 with Champ Bailey at CB. They made the playoffs in Bailey's rookie season. From 2004 to 2008 (the first 5 years after they let go of Bailey) they went 38-42. They made the playoffs twice over that span. Cornerbacks are not playoff determinitive. Cornerbacks are really not win determinitive unless you have bad cornerbacks.
