What's not accurate? Are we not trying to get to and win a Super Bowl? Or did we win one while he was here? Or did he win a Super Bowl in Tampa Bay? Revis isn't worth what he wants, and even if he was worth it, we can't sign him and fill our other holes. We need to not go down the Revis Road.
Thank god ! From @KristianRDyer 8m Not shocking, league source tells me "Jets won't be a player for Revis unless they strike out on other targets & likely not then." #nyjets[/quote]
All smoke right now.. I could see Rex in Idzik's ear right now telling him how we will be the number 1 defense with Revis in our secondary... That is too hard to ignore.
Personally, I'd prefer to get Alterrun (spelling?) Verner at this point instead of Revis, mostly because of their respective ages. As great as Revis has been, he s now on the back-end of his career, and cornerback is a demanding position that requires speed and athleticism. You don't see dominant 30+ cornerbacks in the NFL, so at best, Revis has maybe a couple of more years in him of high level play. Verner is 25 on the other hand, and could be good for a while. Considering all the young talented pieces we currently have in our defense (Richardson, Wilkerson, Harrison, Coples, Demario Davis, and Milliner), I'd rather get a CB opposite Milliner who can be around for a while and build for the long-term.
If Revis is on the open market you guys are crazy to think we won't reach out to him. Rex Ryan is still our head coach and at the end of the day the only thing that matters is winning.
so i guess Mangold is a cancer... and Fergeson is a cancer... and mo wilkerson is a cancer. you know because we didnt win a superbowl with those guys?
It has nothing to do with "butt hurt". Grow up. Revis is the past. Get over your man crush on him. He's past his prime, is too expensive and is a headache the team doesn't need. He doesn't care about winning, only the $s. I could care less what you think "good fans" should do.
If Revis is a free agent, we should offer him 11-13M and see if he takes it. were gonna spend 8-9 million per anyway, id rather have the guy i know can play in this system and who i know can be dominant for the extra 2-4M. So many good cornerbacks have changed teams and looked bad in their new home. a lot of uncertainty. look at the whole nnamdi thing. alot of it is about system.
They didn't threaten a holdout every time they could. They are professionals , Revis is all about himself, and doesn't care how much he hurts the team in the process of getting his.
There are other ways of upgrading the CB position other than re-signing Revis. I would hate it and have a hard time rooting for him if he were to be re-signed. He's a greedy SOB that doesn't care about the team, the game or winning, just getting his $s. Personally, I despise him. As a player, he's past his prime. He's too expensive and too demanding and likely to be a distraction and bring the circus back. I was a Yankee fan from the time I was about 7 years old. I don't hate them, but I eventually lost about all love for and interest in them thanks to Steinbrenner and his hiring, firing, re-hiring Billy Martin and pitching coaches. It's a stupid ass way to run a team. It's time to grow up, get over the hero worship, and move on. I root for the Jets. When players are good citizens, excellent players who work hard to get better then I root for them too. When they're lowlifes, greedy, a distraction and selfish, I root for them to get traded or released. I'd rather re-sign Cro or use our #1 pick on Gilbert, not draft a WR, TE or OLB at all than sign Revis. That should make my feelings abundantly clear.
RT @NFLSTROUD If #Bucs asked teams for two No 1 picks for Revis, they're unaware of it. Anything above a mid-round pick would do it #nyj My guess is he will be cut
At this point, Revis is a mercenary, and he will play for whoever pays him. That is likely to be top-echelon teams, or teams looking to make a splash, on short term, max $ contracts. While I'd love to have him and his skills back, our franchise is looking for more long term growth potential. Revis doesn't fit into our plans.
your retarded dude we wouldn't of even made the playoffs without Revis he was the best player on our team by far you can't blame him for us not winning a super bowl
I can blame him for being an a-hole, who held out in the middle of our success, and has been and always will be a greedy P.O.S. We are probably going to get Verner or Vonte Davis by the end of the day, so this argument is pointless.
How many regular season games did he miss during this hold out? Shit how many regular season games did he miss during his entire jet career before the injury?
I wouldn't touch Revis with a 10-foot pole. The money he demands could be well spent on 2-3 very good players that don't demand a new contract every off-season.
It doesn't matter who we get there's no need to continuously bash one of our best players of all time. Reality will hit Revis once he's cut and realizes 16m is not realistic anymore. That said if Revis can sign a deal for around 10m per year we could use the money we saved from Cro and bring Revis back to where his HOF career started and have our lockdown CB back.
