still him holding out while still having THREE yrs left on his contract was BULLSHIT!!!, and that has a negative effect on how I view him as a Jet.
I agree with you 100%. He is in for the first game, get over the holdout. New Stadium, may it be a great night for the Jets...
better than what? he got what he was looking for -- a contract extension and more money -- and is back with the team for the season. that's business as usual in the NFL.
Long day and I got to bed early, I wokeup from a dream and it was revis picking off flacco for 6....something told me to come on here and at 11:30 or so the Ryan meets w revis stuff started....I wonder what boldin moss n Marshall r thinkin....feel bad for the rbs too...single covg to the outside and bring 8 guys each down Told you guys I had a feeling he'd be hear before week 1....gn gentelmen
no, there are plenty of other unreasonable people on the board with you. the only relevance to the three years is it reduced any leverage he had, not that it somehow makes holding out a somehow worse situation.
I'm too happy and excited to give a shit about how much a dick he was. In the end he got a reasonable deal, didn't miss any games and we're back to being the elite defense in the NFL baby!! No harm done.works out for him, the jets payroll and the fans. We need to fastforward a week god damn it!'
I see...Either way, this is much much better than what I had hoped for. Tanny knows his shit. He knows very well that Revis will be here, barring an injury, for a long time, why not guarantee shit load of the contract on shorter terms. He can sign him again after 4 years for probably $55+mil with another $30+ mil guarantee.
And sometimes you can act like an ass and get the same thing you were going to get anyway. Or... even less. Revis got a lot of bad advice, from his uncle and his agents. I'm tempted to think Rex talked some sense into him.
We knew we would be forgetting about the past. This shit will only come up again if Revis was to hold out yet again.
as far as I am concerned, he would only have been being a dick if he held out into the season. how he decided to spend his preseason I don't give a shit about.
I just hope he plays lights out from here to the end of the contract, if we want to resign him we know we are going to have to pay him if not we trade him for great value.
Schefter has confirmed that it IS a 7 year deal. Although what he said is this "7 year dear that voids to 4. Ultimately will be 4"
