Hes RETARDED if he does hold out the whole year, and he'll just be hurting his own case considering Aso's ridiculous contract is up after this year, and theres no way he will be makin close to $16M a year after this year. So Aso will have to come back down to earth and so will Revis, except Revis will undoubtedly lose a step, and hopefully lose out on a super bowl ring.
I voted he will hold out the entire year since I do not think that the NYJs will give him the Aso contract + $0.50 that he is demanding
There is no chance, NONE, that he honors his contract...ZERO. He has already been offered three new ones. Why on earth would he ever work under the terms of the original? I can't believe over 40 people have voted that he would.
He'd work under the original terms if the alternative was never playing again. That'd be his path to the next contract, which will be huge if not as large as he's currently fantasizing. I'd say there is a small chance, maybe 5%, that he just comes in at some point and reports. There's a small chance, maybe the same 5%, that he sits the entire year. Odds are that he misses a few games and then some accommodation is reached and he reports.
I dont think he is that stubborn if he is really as competitive and driven as some articles have made him out to be he will be back on the field
I kind of agree with Don that the odds on Revis coming in to play without a new deal are pretty low. You don't do the things he's done at this point and then come back in unilaterally unless something changes in your perspective and with this set of agents and Revis history I think his perspective is pretty well set at this point.
I know a few of you have been wondering this and I knew I should have reworded it differently I intended on option 2 to be: whether he signs extention or plays out his current contract this season with promise of a new one at the end of the season but I didnt want option 2 to be too wordy I wanted to keep the poll very basic, either a he will or he wont. Option 2 should say "honor contract/sign extention" if a mod could change it to this in option 2 I would appreciate it sorry for the confusion
I can see him sitting out the year to make a point, like Uncle Gilbert. But if as this season progresses and it seems as if next season will not happen I think he'd play. So he seems dedicated enough to his cause (ensuring the well being of his family or tending to his pride or padding his wallet or whatever) to miss a year, but enough of a competitor that he wouldn't want to miss more than that.
No I voted, because this topic sucks. Why isn't their an option that he would get signed before Week 1? Im prettysure the Jets will give in. Theyve been just going back and forth but once when the season is their they will have to.
If we're in bad shape record-wise week 5 due to Revis absence then there is no way this is a Super Bowl contender so it just doesn't matter if he's here or not. Cornerbacks don't determine who goes to the playoffs or not. They certainly don't determine who wins it all. If Mark Sanchez is good to go we'll be 3-1 minimum by week 5. If he's not ready yet we're not going to win the Super Bowl and probably won't even make the playoffs, and it doesn't matter whether or not we have Revis in that situation.
what I dont understand about all this is the money situation it has to be more about pride and a sense of entitlement that he would want this much money and not trying to ensure him and his family are taken care of I mean how many Bentleys, G5s and yachts do you need? I'd say he's not starving thats for sure, its like the $40.mil extra is so he can have two G5s instead of one
That's not necessarily true. We were in pretty bad shape at 4-6 last season and still were Super Bowl "contenders" when all was said and done. Also, we don't have Holmes for the first 4 games and if we are missing Revis, it's possible for us to lose to the Ravens and the Pats and still turn it on later in the season.
With the advice he's getting from his scumbag agents, his uncle, POS Ty Law and comments by Leon Washington he's a lock to hold out unless the Jets cave in and give him what he wants. Please let the Jets drop their nuts and stand firm. Eff this selfish POS.
It's possible that we could start out very slowly and recover to have a 9-7 like result and squeak into the playoffs. It's extremely unlikely that we'd be a serious Super Bowl contender at any point in that process. We weren't a serious Super Bowl contender in 2002 and 2009 after slow starts and we were only a serious contender in 1998 after a slow start because of a QB change. Having a CB come back to the team isn't going to do anything that would reverse a slide and I don't care if that cornerback's name is Deion Revis. The Jets might snap out of a bad slump at the start after Revis rejoined the team but his rejoining would likely be incidental to that process unless he was replacing Drew Coleman at CB.
That's not the alternative. He has been offered a 1, 4 and 10 year deal already. Each would pay him a ton more than the 1 million he is scheduled to make now. As this all about money why do you think he would leave it on the table?
Forget about Mevis for now. He doesn't GAF about his team and we need to get ready for a huge season. If he shows up then fine if not I'm sure we are not going to retire his number.:shit: :beer:
Except, unlike his uncle, he is not a UFA who has been 'franchised'....Revis still has 3 yrs left on his contract. There is the potential here for the NYJ to keep Revis on the sideline for thte foreseeable future, not to mention that by not reporting by 8/10 Revis loses any chance that this year will count toward his time accumulation to becoming a FA. He's getting some real bad advice IMO. If he had just showed up for camp at the start, he would at worst have made about $21 mill over the next 3 yrs. If he had showed up by 8/10, while his present contracts guarantees would have been gone, at least he could have counted this yr toward reaching RFA status next yr...not to mention the 'goodwill' he would have displayed making the Jets more likely to work this out with him. And for the 'what if he got injured' crowd, honestly other than a c-spine injury did anyone not see the NYJ picking up his option for the next two seasons anyway after the season he had in 2009? Really? The reason it's so hard to predict what will happen here is because on it's face it is ridiculous what Revis is trying to do...which is, get the NYJ to void 3 yrs of an existing contract that he held out to get in the first place (and one in which if he abided by the terms would have netted him $15-$21 mill guaranteed in all likelihood) AND get a maximum contract approaching $16 mill per year for a CB....who is NOT a FA.
