Desperate? Hardly. That’s just not the way Trent Baalke rolls. ESPN has already reported that sources close to the Niners say they’re not inclined to pursue Revis right now. Why should they drop a bunch of money on one corner with a questionable knee when they’ve got a good team filled with players they have to pay? They’ve got #31 AND #34 in the draft this year. If they want to, they can move up to get any one of a number of very nice corner prospects who can probably step right in and start from day one at a tiny fraction of what Revis wants. It’s more likely that Revis is desperate to play for the Niners because he’d get a lot closer to the possibility of a Super Bowl and he’d get to show up Richard Sherman twice a year. If he’s willing to play ball on money, I’m sure they’ll take a look.
