So now you're dictating what the market is for the best defensive player in football, interesting. The middle of his rookie contract??? That argument is so flawed it's not funny. He could be in the second year of his rookie contract and I'd still want him to tear it up. It's about what his market value is, not how many years he has left on his bogus owner-controlled contract. He's played so far above that rookie contract that to bring up that argument is such an insult to a player of his ability and production.
Supposedly the Jets offered him a $120 mm dollar deal with 28 mill guaranteed, so shockingly this random proposal of yours is no good.
I don't dictate the market. The NFL does. Go take a look at what the top players at the position are pulling down. Regardless of what Mevis Agents say...at the end of the day, Revis has three choices. Take what the Jets want to give him. Sit out a year, then Take what the Jets want to give him... Retire. The player has zero leverage in this situation.
Well if they offered him $28 mil then hopefully they get it up to $35 mil and let's see if he budges.
P.S. You don't seem to fully grasp the concept of market value. Right now...his market value is 1 million dollars, and shrinking. (and if he sits out, he's eliminating a extra year of earnings on the backend) That's the amount he's obligated to perform for, or stay home.... The man has a job, and a contract to get paid for his services, he does not have the right or the ability to change those terms absent the Jets allowing him to do so, hence no market value....
Yes, for cornerbacks not renegotiating their contracts. Revis isn't in the open market and he's not allowed to field offers from other teams yet. That is what I'm interested in seeing as determining Revis' value from an objective standpoint. From a Jets fan's standpoint, I'm interested in seeing both sides give a little so they come up with a deal that they can both agree to, rather than seeing both sides play chicken with their limits trying to force the other side to blink. Their(Revis' and Woody/Tannenbaum's) inflexibility are hurting both parties. I really wish that they could both decide to give a little ground here. That would get this ordeal over much quicker than trying to break the other party. If the Jets were more willing to show that they can be more flexible when dealing with their top stars, it would go a long way with making the contract negotiations that are coming after this season a lot less painful. Just as Revis showing that he is more willing to work with the team would show the rest of the players that a deal can get done without having to treat it like a hostage negotiation.
Wouldn't Haden now be tied with Clemens for the second highest paid CB? I looked a little for a breakdown of his contract, but couldn't find out, so I could be wrong. He also received a 12 million in a signing bonus. Even though we know these rookie contracts are insane, it gives Revis a tad more leverage.
For him it is. He's owed 1 mil, and his burn rate is 16K a day. As you pointed out,(as well as I did above) he actually has no market value.
His contract obligation is not his market value. Two entirely separate things. He may be obligated to this $1 million number but it's not what he would get if he was on the open market. Regardless if he were traded or sat out this year, his market value will not be $1 million as you say. He would get way more than that.
He has NO market value outside of the contract. He is ineligible to market his skills as a commodity.
No it's not at all. You're basing his market value on what his contract obligation is. You need to treat each topic separately because as I just posted whether he sits out a year or if he was traded then his market value is way above the $1 million that you claim it is.
Jeez, Revis has held out a long time now. I just hope he can still put food on the table for his family.
