2 first rounders minimum. No incentive to trade him. I know I said in a previous post that it doesn't make sense to let him rot I would still sell high on him.
Honestly, I have no idea. This has to be one of the strangest hold out situations in NFL history (or I just have a short memory).
If the $12/$16 numbers we've all heard are truly the issue and they are honestly considering forcing there way out over it I think he's getting really bad advice, probably from everyone around him. If those things are all true, I also think he should go fuck himself. Now before all the Revis worshipers break out the pitch forks, recognize I qualified that with "IF" a few times.
Considering that his manager is a retard. his agents are cunts and his uncle is giving him advice based on his experience in contract negotiation, which isn't a comparable situation, I'd say he's getting terrible advice.
At t his point, I fully expect Cromartie and Wilson to be our starting CBs for the whole year. The closer we creep to Sept 13, the less confidence I have that Revis will ever wear a Jets jersey again.
I still think it's possible that this is all just part of their negotiation tactics to squeeze more money out knowing full well the $16/year is stupid. I'm starting to believe that they actually think that's what someone should pay him though.
It's extraordinarily strange. The Revis camp is essentially trying to extort a record contract from the Jets not on the basis of Revis pending free agency, which does not exist, but instead on the idea that a promise the Jets allegedly made somehow gives Revis the right to renege on his contract. It's a truly bizarre gambit on their part that if carried through to the extreme end would likely result in the end of Revis football career, since they have no other leverage to exert on the Jets. On the other hand, nobody including Revis profits from that extreme end and if you examine the logical propositions in play it becomes clear that the current standoff is just a huge bluff on Revis part that will eventually have to be dropped. Or of course he could throw away a fortune and a hall of fame football career. I just don't see it. It makes no sense.
I think so too, but like LeonNYJ said as each passes my confidence gets lower that this will get done. I mean, at this point it's pretty clear the Jets aren't gonna do 16 mill. Nothing's changed between the start of TC and now.
I'm wondering if this somehow went totally south for everybody involved if Revis wouldn't wind up suing his agents in a few years for gross mismanagement?
This seems like the only rational argument, but how long do the Jets wait until they feel they have to trade him while he still has value?
If it gets to the point that he seeks a trade and finds out NOBODY will give him 16 million I can see him firing them
Well, in the extreme (which won't happen) case in which he sits the season the Jets will toll over his contract and we'll be right where we were last February next February. Unless the standard clauses in the NFL player contract were stricken out of Revis's, which is always possible, the Jets can choose at a certain point in the season to toll over his contract and effectively reset the clock on him. At that point Revis probably has to accept the Jets offer to go negotiate a contract with another team pursuant to a trade, and he will have a lot of incentive to be reasonable in his demands since he'll be stuck on the Jets otherwise in a situation that clearly will not work for him.
In that scenario, how many years would it take him to recover the $12 million + fines he would have had if he played in 2010? Add to all of this the fact that the Aso deal will almost certainly not exist the next time the NFL plays a season. Shit just doesn't make sense to me. It's either a bluff, or his entire entourage is giving him terrible advice.
I honestly can't believe that the parties involved on Revis' side allowed it to get to this point. And I'm very disappointed in Revis for actually believing the pricks in his ear that what he is doing is a good idea for his career. I wish he'd fire F&S and hire Rosenhaus; he never allows his clients to hold out and advises them the correct things to do in order to get what they eventually want in their deals.
It's always possible that Revis and his team know something about his contract that we don't. I don't believe that all the standard clauses in the NFL player contract are required to be in each player's contract. The Jets and Revis had a lot of time to work out the first agreement and who knows what was thrown out or added in in the give and take?
