The Darrelle Revis No Longer Holding Out Thread

If that's the case blame Jets' management. It's not a player's responsibility to ensure the financial viability of the team.

 

He never made that point. He said if we didn't win it all this season, people would hate Revis. We never even discussed the financial parameters. In fact, there's no way for his contract to weight the Jets down this season.

 

This is absolutely ridiculous.

 

i feel the exact opposite way... i think there has to be something to the story... tc wouldn't stake his reputation on a hint from out of left field... i think it has to be legit.

 

Every report that has come out regarding what their side is demanding has revolved around a contract that would pay an average of $16 million per season or at the very least more than the $15 mil per that Asomugha received. The most recent report prior to the media blackout suggested that Revis and the Jets were $40 million apart, with the Jets having offered a $120 million contract. That may have changed since, but the main reason why the contract talks have been at a standstill is because Revis and his camp have been reluctant to soften their stance of demanding a contract with a higher average salary than Asomugha's deal.

 

He sign yet?

 

Yes, a Jets fan called Woody and said "pay the man!"
10 years/165 billion.

 

Revismember the good times:

Remember when Revis had his first pick 6 against Arizona? Maybe the easiest looking pick 6 ever.

 

No, but the clock is ticking. 24 hours before we start burning Cowlishaw in effigy.

 

But the first year is only for a million so it's really only a 1 year 1 million dollar contract

 

I want to know why no team mate has called revis out like the skins did with haynesworth? He under contract just like fat Albert.

 

Because Revis isn't a whiny bitch who still commands respect.

 

I think Shannahan probably egged his players on to doing that too. Rex would never allow his players to dump on Revis.

 

It looked like Kurt Warner was trying to throw an interception on that play.

 

You mean he won't get hogtied and strung up on the goal post upside down w/ heat balm and a gatorade shower when he gets back to practice?

 

I bet you want to know why your shoes keep coming untied, too.

 

really? Turning down a 12mil a year contract is whiny,greety,selfish bitch to me.

 

If you had the ability to turn down that much money you would too.

 

Only a dysfunctional ass team like the skins or raiders is going to go about doing that crap.

 

And thats the only thing thats ever been reported with good sources and is probably closest to the truth. You are dead on WSW.

Thats the frustrating part of reading through the Mike F threads...and listening to all the talk show hosts saying "this is bullshit..this guy is your best player...JUST GET IT DONE JETS".

I mean...people that makes statements like that are probably Yankee fans (like me..guilty as charged) This is the friggin NFL that has a cap...for the last time...TEAMS HAVE A CAP. Im not sure how hard it is to grasp that if the Jets were to say Yes to Revis's wild demands..it would cost them in the future. Would Revis recognize this and redo his do-over contract? History says probably not.

The Jets are in a real pickle here with the fanbase...the media...and what they need to do for the future of this franchise.

Crazy responses like "JUST GET IT DONE!!" are so off base without knowing the full details of what the Revis demand is...and how it affects the entire franchise the next 1-10 years.
