until you can deal with the two most overpaid jets, harris and suckchise, you don't have the ability to re-sign revis. like when green bay traded favre to us, you include additional picks owed if he re-signs with that team. otherwise, even if walks away at the end of the yaer, you don't end up geting nothing in return.
Why don't people understand that Revis is already signed for 2013? If the Jets decide to trade Revis, it is to receive value for an asset that they most likely won't have in 2014. If they do restructure Revis's contract, the 2013 number should go down.
Was just on phone with my grandfather and what if this happened..... Jets trade revis to highest bitter lets say a 1st and a 3rd. He DOES NOT SIGN EXTENSION Is now a FA and goes back to the JETS. This would be the story people would be talking about for years! Jets would benefit like no other!
I'm against the draft completely. I'm for player freedom and less player spots. More real competition for less spots means a much higher level of play. Let the strong survive and the weak die. Competitive balance is exciting because fans have a rooting interest at the end of the season even though they are forced to watch awful football for a good portion of the season to get to the end.
So Revis is going to just take a year off from the Jets, just like that? Would be a troll-like, yet awesome, move by the Jets to pull that off, but very unlikely.
Very very unlikely but I think someone should talk to revis and his agent! If you want the money you will get the money and can come back to NY but first let us stock pile picks for a year. We will rebuild and you come back to a better team!
This would be fraud unless the Jets then disclosed that they had an agreement in place with Revis to the team acquiring him in a trade.
If the Jets pulled this off & the league could prove it be prepared to give up at least 4 first rounders over eight years. The entire league would be all over the commissioner to hit the Jets so fast, so hard that nobody in NFL history would ever think of trying that crap ever again. Knowing Revis, he'd use it as blackmail material to ask for $20,000,000 per season on his next contract negotiation.
That's ridiculous. If Belichik didn't lose 4 first rounders, there is no way they would cripple an already-pathetic team like te Jets for committing just one act of fraud. More likely, we would have to give the same picks back (a 1st and a 3rd) that we got in the original trade...just 2-3 years later.
It would take years to prove.....Revis could say I miss NY and want to go back and no other place I would rather play
What's ridiculous is your comparison of these two events. Here's a scenario: Tapes destroyed, Pats lose multiple #1 picks. Do you think the SB is tainted? Does the average American think the SB was tainted? Of course. Tarnishing the SB's image would tarnish the entire NFL brand. The SB has become a national event. It's impossible to look at the Pats penalty and work backwards to determine how much they supposedly cheated. Too much at stake for the entire league when handing out that punishment. There is no way 31 teams are going to be in favor of heavily penalizing the Pats no matter how harsh the evidence is. ============ With the proposed Jets/Revis scenario: One team cutting a deal like this with a player is extremely underhanded. Ruins the good faith of team to team player transactions. There's gonna be 31 teams demanding harsh punishments for the Jets in such a scenario.
Here's a FAR more likely scenario: The Dolphins, with $48M in free cap money and loads of pics, offer the Jets a deal we can't refuse and we ship Revis to MetLife South. Then, the Jets and Phins square off in the 2013 AFCCG in Miami and Stephen Hill beats Revis at the gun for the victory. The Jets then beat the Giants 2 weeks later. Then, Miami releases Revis and he returns to the Jets for $4M/yr to finish out his career. Then, Stephen Hill holds out for $20M/yr and we give it to him. The End.
You can't have your best player be a malcontent. It sows discord throughout a team. Here's a question to the entire board: The whole time Revis has been a member of the Jets, what percentage of time do you thinking he was happy (or more importantly, was behaving as if he was happy)? The guy is perpetually mad about something and is not a team player - the most important thing to him is not team success; the most important thing to him is being paid the most in the league. In the long run, it's not beneficial to the team.
I don't agree with anything you have said. Yes, he's had his contract issues, but this is the only time these guys can make this kind of money so it's going to be a concern. But he has never let this leak over to his on-field play or his impact on the locker room.
