im not saying your wrong about anything i mean you read what I said, im not pounding my fist on the table saying trade him. im saying that if this draws on into training camp and leads into preseason then the bottom line needs to be 13.5 mil with some nice guaranteed in the first 3 yrs. nothing more. anything more and there will be no more OL. which is way more important than any one player at any position.,mostly because that position directly relates to Sanchez. and contrary to the actual genius of Rex i am all about the trenches. but thats why im typing this and dont have a headset on the sidelines on sundays. but. thats just my opinion. and I only even quoted you for the simple fact I was just stating that the average poster who overreacts to the overall situation has some merit on the fact that an All Pro LB like Ware IS as impactful as Revis. Rex just is ingenious enough to do more with less relying on what fell onto his lap in coming to NY. and moving forward people like Revis are the extremely rare and the kryptonite for the pass happy favored rules of today, I just dont believe on bankrupting the cap yet over Revis having 2 good years followed by 1 all pro year. and I only say most of this with no idea of what the future financial climate of the league is with no CBA in place for next year.
And yet we're still in the same ballpark on the figures...I say 12 mil is more than fair for his CB duties, an extra mil for team leadership is a bargain with his work ethic, so :beer: Part of that leadership is not bleeding team resources dry though. He did say 16 so Tanny probably began with 10 hoping to meet somewhere around our number.
Up his next 3 years to 12 million a year, then a 2 year extension at 12 million each year, thats 5 years at 60 million, more money than Sanchez, if he dont take that, let him walk.
Aside from paying him as much as the salary cap will allow by replacing most of the rest of the team with 50 UDFA rookies, you haven't really offered much constructive. Why not tell us this...What's the ceiling here? And when you overspend who goes, and to what detriment ? I've noticed you generally spend way more time critiquing other folks opinions, and yes...thinking everyone else is wrong is an opinion of sorts. But the air of condescension you do it with begs the question...how much, and how do you fit it in, and at what point do you cut bait ? Please...you chose the name...enlighten us...
Do I really have to say "Let the market determine the cost of the best player in the league at the most important position in Rex Ryan's defense before freaking out about a supposed contract the team offered, the details of which we still do not have," in another post? Or do you really just like starting shit and throwing around inflammatory language?
Just pay him what he wants and end this! Jeez a guy like Revis doesn't come around very often, pay him what he wants and lock him up for life.
Exactly, if he doesn't accept a deal that won't hinder the contract status of Mangold, Brick, and Harris then he's pretty much getting traded for a player and some picks, simple as that Just like Teddy Bruschi said on ESPN, you have to make certain sacrifices to win the big one, and in this case it's a few extra million dollars, can't his ass do some Subway commercials with Justin Tuck or something to make up for it?
They have an All-Pro Middle Linebacker whose contract is about to expire, and won't be able to afford if Revis doesn't back off his ridiculous demands.
* The man is a cornerback for Gods sake, ill take a great linebacker over a corner anyday, his greed is screwing with the team chemistry, Mangold, Ferguson and Harris much more important. 10 million a year to play a kids game, . if Revis dont take that trade him and see what you can get. He wants more than the first round pick quarterback (Sanchez) got, he aint worth that much.
I am not sure what the reference to Sanchez is supposed to mean here. * The reference is this skippy, a cornerback is not nearly as important as your Quarterback.
Kevin James and Adam Sandler were on NFL live talking about the Jets and Revis. Entertaining enough. Kevin James was more worried about the food they will be serving now in the new stadium then how the jets will do. He thinks there fine and will win the AFC east, not that his opinion means squat
Right now, there is NO MARKET......WE OWN HIS ASS PERIOD... And what Market does exist in a similar context (top 5 corners not in Oakland) says 10 mil per. Or are you really suggesting we let him Void his contract, and not take the 20 Mil buyback? And he's not the most important person in Rex Ryans defense. He's the best player in the secondary. And lets not forget something else either. This was one Year. Here's a quote from after the Saints game.... Making. Not made or Has proven over the last two seasons...Making. This year. With Rex.
Plus it's a poor argument, because no one expects Sanchez to be anything more than an effective, above-average QB. Revis is the best player at his position in the sport.
