If the Jets wanted to they wouldn't have to do anything- He's signed through 2012, so not only does he not want to honor a contract he signed he wants to increase by 1000%. I agree he needs a raise, but who the hell gets a 1000% raise?? If someone I know gets a 10% raise it's like hitting the lotto.
first of all, what trouble is he causing? none. he's not a malcontent and he isn't being disruptive, he is doing what every single player in his position would do. and plenty of teams will pay him. dumb fucking post.
I'm not against him getting a raise - his $1M for this upcoming year is a joke. But you want to now handicap the team, over a contract that your still signed to and doesn't expire until 2012? I know Al Davis fucked us here, but this is showing Revis' true colors. Looks like he's all about the green (not his team's colors), which through his personality showed different.
Honestly if he keeps complaining throughout the season, Kyle Wilson plays extremely well and Revis tries to literally screw the team, we trade him for 2 first rounders and attempt to draft a corner in the draft, Patrick Peterson is going to be a good pro and we could resign Cro if he plays well ... We don't need players like Revis on this team, he's beginning to become a horrible example for other players. He's no leader at this point by the way he's been acting, I understand 1 million is underpaid, but he needs to fucking take a chill pill and relax, he's going to get his money, players like this usually don't work out in the end, he had a GREAT season last year, and idk if he could repeat that, i'd rather have a close group of good corners then a corner whose constantly complaining about a contract HE JUST signed not too long ago, we don't need that and there's no reason for him to be acting like this, I understand the man wants to get paid and we all want him here and to retire here, but the Jets don't need this type of player that acts like that, he's quickly approaching TO mode
??? ...but the link you're providing is not helping to make your point; 80 million for 7 years and not even doing it right now, but after 2011... Nobody would complain if Revis accepts that, which (guessing) is even lower than what Jets should be offering him right now
He is being disruptive, he's already saying he's planning on holding out and if he doesnt get his money he promises "changes". Get ur **** out of his ass and realize he's turning into a scumbag. The latest article on ESPN makes me wanna throw up.
Yeahh... I think you really need to relax here.. How is he being disruptive? By showing up to voluntary workouts? By saying he won't hold out? By being more of a vocal leader for the defense in workouts? To say the team is better off without him is just about as retarded as it gets.
plenty of teams will pay him... which teams and how much? Nobody's saying he doesn't deserve a whole lot more than what he's making right now... everybody's willing (not that it depends on us, anyway, but I'm guessing the FO is on the same page) to make him the highest paid cornerback that doesn't receive his paycheck from a senile owner of a crappy team... ...but 16million per year to a CB in a team well balanced on talented players when you don't even know if there's gonna be a cap or not or how high next season? Which teams and how much?
Darrelle Revis will be playing for the Jets in 2010. He isn't going anywhere. The only question is for how much?
clearly my assertion isn't dependent on needing insider information of what teams are already lining up to pay him to be valid that there are teams in the league that will pay the best corner in the league the highest contract for a corner. are you asserting no team in teh league will actually pay him the highest amount per year for a corner? another dumb fucking post. if you are trying to dispute that, then list the teams that will refuse to pay him. see how fucking stupid that is? actually, I'm willing to bet by the intelligence in your post you don't.
There's no "i" in team -- Do you guys really think that Revis is concern about the front office re-signing the "Core Four" veterans? He’s just concern with overtaking Nnamdi Asomugha contract -- No CB is worth that type of money -- Last time I check a CB wasn’t able to take a team to the SuperBowl…
Best scenario: Happy Revis agrees to a 9 - 11 million per year deal Good scenario: Happy Revis agrees to a 11-13 million per year deal Bad scenario: Angry Revis is stuck with the current 21 million per 3 years deal Worst scenario: Not-as-smart-as-we-thought Tanny agrees to give Revis a more than 14 million per year deal.
I'm sure every team in the NFL would be thrilled to have Darrelle Revis on their team... ..well except for the Dolphins of course. They have a couple of super duper studs at corner and have no use for a guy like Revis. He's no Sean Smith.
I didn't said there were no teams willing to pay him 16 million per year. I can already name one, is based on the west coast, wears black and silver and they have a fan named Joe. There you go, I'm helping you here, I've already mentioned a team that would actually pay him more than 16 million per year. I'm not saying that there are no teams willing to pay him 16 million per year, I'm just saying I'd be glad to NOT be one of those teams... I'd rather be one of the teams not that stupid to pay that much to a CB.
As this year is 'uncapped' couldn't the Jets just back up the Brinks truck to his place for the one year and work out a reasonable price for the other years? I'm guessing 'no', but just checking.
I believe they can, but its tricky. They would have to load his contract with a 'signing bonus' ?(think thats what it is) Which would give him guaranteed money. That's like getting your yearly salary without working. but im not 100% sure.
The problem about what's going on with Revis right now is not the numbers he's throwing around (and we don't know exactly what those are anyway), it's the timing. The Jets have a couple of guys they really have to sign this season or put themselves at risk going into 2011. Nick Mangold and really David Harris are necessities. That's who they should be focusing on at the moment, not a superstar who is under contract to them for 3 more years. You can argue that Revis is waaaaayyyy underpaid for 2010 and you won't find anybody out there who disagrees with that, but the answer to that is to work out a decent bump for the year and then move on to the more important contracts that must get done this offseason or next at the latest. Having Revis go into Alamo mode because he's not being offered the richest contract for a cornerback in history, when it's not his turn for a contract and when the previous record contract is of a highly dubious nature, is what's causing the issue here. I wouldn't want anybody playing CB for the Jets over Revis for the next few years, he's a great player. However I wouldn't want Revis on the Jets over Harris, Mangold or D'Brick, if that's what it came too because I don't think the Jets would be a better team if they kept Revis and let one of those guys get away versus letting Revis go if they had to.
I had to read this about 10 times, but I get what you meant, and partially agree. I think Brick is slightly overrated. Mangold/Harris over Revis at this point. No position other than QB has the kind of leverage Revis is acting as though he has. And he's under contract for three more seasons. Tanny should make one final offer, and if he turns it down, move on to our other guys, who will most likely be looking for much more reasonable contracts. I love Revis and would love for him to retire in Green and White, but his head seems to have swelled. He's forgotten what had endeared him to fans last season - play great, stay humble and team-first. Tanny should only have to offer him $500k/yr over the Nnamdi deal. That deal was bull s*** and everyone, EVERYONE, knows it.
