Wow..Bucs would be a beast with Revis with their two awesome Safeties.

Hope they don’t give up going all out after Revis.

to juliusanonymous :it has nothing to do with other GMs thinking he’s not good. it has to do with the fact that revis is coming back from a serious injury and whether or he his healthy enugh right now. if Sherman was coming off same injury he would be in same position as revis. we all know a healthy revis would easily command at least 2 first rd picks.

Revis and the Jets fans just don’t get it. Revis’ injury is THE reason nobody wants to trade for him. That injury kept him from playing, so he was not good last year – he was injured. Injured players don’t play – so literally ANY healthy player in the NFL is better, because they’re at least healthy enough to play.

You can use the injury excuse all day long, but the fact remains: compare Revis’ contributions last season to any other CB in the NFL. Do you think that contribution is equivalent to Tom Brady? This guy wants Tom Brady money, but his stats for his position are not Tom Brady stats.

And Sherman was right. Revis, even when healthy, has NEVER had a season like Sherman did last season. He’s just another over-hyped under-productive player who thinks they’re worth more than they are.

When other teams see the Seahawks picking up ProBowl CBs in the 5th round and from the CFL, they’re going to have a problem paying a guy coming off a majory injury more money than a QB who has multiple SuperBowl MVPs.

I love how everyone lets there hatred of the jets cloud their honesty and common sense- Revis is the best cb in football – Revis is the best defensive player in football right now and Revis may wind up being the best cornerback of all time. the contract issue is all because moron Al Davis have Nnamdi 16 million a year – and Revis knowing he is better wanted more – with that contract gone now his salary will fall more in line say 60 million for 5 years. Lest be serious ya all know he is going to come back just as good as he ever was and the GM’s in the NFL know it too – they are juts trying to hold the jets up and it doesnt look like Idzik is giving in…..he is too shrewd to give away his best chess piece so hold on to him …sign him long term and I bet before the trade deadline there will be teams lined up to grab the guy that could make a difference in who wins the superbowl

Revis is too costly in too many ways. He’s a lot more trouble than he’s worth.

I think more disturbing than the notion that the Bucs need to flush a 1st round draft pick down the toilet for Revis is the spelling in some of these comments.

Jets are looking for a better deal, Bucs want them to take theirs.

The problem isn’t what the Jets get, it’s what Revis gets. Anything less than the $15m he thinks he’s worth will result in problems next year if he returns to health.

Send Mevis to the career graveyard already. I’m sure the Raiders would love to have and overpay him.

jprcox — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 14:18:41 +0000

Beyond the 1st round pick, who wants to pay $16m for a DB?? That is the REAL issue here. Seriously, if Revis was willing to sign for $5m a year, WHO WOULDN’T give a 1st round to sign such a great shut-down corner?

Revis is a game changer and if Tampa bay gets him for basically nothing this year and get to draft a top 13 player they will be a greatly improved team. If they win the superbowl that 2014 pick would be a low 32th pick. Revis is worth more and he will most likely fully recover from his injuries.

As a Jet fan its clear the Bucks want to fleece the Jets for their best player and not give them a high pick for him. The Buccaneers will be much better next year with Revis so the 2014 pick is unknown quantity and you cant sell a known quantity for an unknown quantity. The Jets have resign Revis and draft a QB and see what happens. Maybe we get lucky like the colts last year and make the playoffs. If we dont, at least we dont see the Buccaneers in the playoffs with our best player for a pick that we dont even have in a draft that may not even be that deep.

Next year the g-men will have more cap space thats when tv money kicks in!! I hope the jets dont trade him so the g-men have a shot, listen he wont get the 16 he looking for but 8-10 on a 4-5 contract by the giants next year should land him, listen he gets to come to a team that has two superbowls in 5 years, he helps fill the biggest need that the giants have, and with a divison that has deshawn,dez,garcon etc why not have the best cb in football? Also he gets to keep playing on the same field 8 times a year as he has been! Its a win win and a few rings will help solidify revis’ all pro career!!

I would not want Revis on my team. Every few years he complains about the low salary and threatens to hold out. No room for a selfish player on a championship team. The juts have a bunch of selfish players and look at where they are. Can’t wait!

Why are the Jets such an organizational mess. It’s not like their owner didn’t build his own company from the ground up, and instead had it inherited from daddy. Oh wait…

If you aren’t a QB, n0 one is going to give the kind of trade goods that the Jets are looking for, AND pay what Revis is looking for. Two 2nds are probably the best they would see, and even that’s a stretch.

Then when you add Revis is coming off a serious injury, and is a proven pain in the butt to management, WHY would any NFL want to overpay.

He was truly a great shut down CB. The best of his generation (sorry Richard) But how much can you pay for a guy who only directly impacts about 10 plays a game.

Over the past few years the Pats have managed to average over 30 ppg against the Jets, by simply ignoring him. And as for impact, without him the Jets were ranked 2nd in team pass defense.

Revis is not worth more than 2nd rounder since he is coming off a major injury. If jets GM doesn’t act soon he will end up with nothing and look like a horses butt if he plays in the AFc east.

Godfather hate to bust your jet bubble but revis is not signing for 8-10 mill more like 12-14 mill. Hence why a second rounder is more appropriate since he is a cap buster.

Considering what Revis wants to get paid and that he is coming off a major injury (not to mention his annual inflation of his self-worth), he is not worth more than a second round pick or two threes. I’d rather the Bucs sign Grimes and use their first rounder on a corner like Rhodes or Trufant. Forget Revis if it means mortgaging your future.

Just deal him! Your team will not be very good this year anyway, so why keep him and not get nothing???

I have to question how credible this article is.Rick Stroud sportswriter for the Tampa Bay Times has an article out last night headlined with Bucs first round pick is in play for Jets Revis.His article has actual quotes from the G.M. Some of these teams with secondary issues are saying they are not interested. The non action they have taken so far implies the opposite.

Wow! Both are bad teams in trouble and are trying to leverage the other to help. The Jets GM does not have much to use as leverage to make the Jets better. The best thing he can do is what Jeff Ireland did; get cap healthy, bring in cheaper players and stock pile draft choices. At least the Jets went to two AFC playoff games with their over spending on FA. The Dolphins released many over paid lineman that former Czar Bill Parcells brought in, which including those that he drafted in the early rounds. The Dolphins did not win and had very little talent.

The Jets will have to keep Revis or accept what is offered.

At what point does revis realize he’s not as good as he thinks? Maybe t.o. could give him some advice.

Jets would be wise to ask for a first rounder in 2014, instead of this year. No top talent in this years class, but next years will probably have Johnny Manziel, Teddy Bridgewater, and Tajh Boyd and Clowney all declaring. All are better prospects than any in this years class.

Idzik is an idiot for wanting to trade Revis away. He should have kept him, but he burnt that bridge by refusing to talk to Revis’ agents and making it obvious that the team was going to trade him. Now they have to sell low in a buyer’s market.
