Darrelle Revis Wants to Get PAID

The first rule of negotiation is to set your asking price higher than what you’re actually seeking. Revis isn’t expecting $20 million, but a contract in the Asomugha range is a realistic picture. It will be interesting to see how Mike handles it.

cant exactly rely on the raiders to establish a fair market value. unfortunately for the jets this is exactly what revis and his agent are looking for. revis is a STAR! and deserves to get paid, however breaking the bank on one player doesnt bode well for the player or the team. at the end of the day revis and all his millions wont win a superbowl all by himself. he deserves to get paid more than Nandi but look at where that contract got him,…the best player on one of the worst teams in football.
i hope the jets do revis right and dont lowball him, but if mangold, harris, and d’brick need some of that dough too.

This is just typical Jets people getting nervous in knee-jerk reactions when this kind of stuff gets thrown around. It’s how negotiations work.

Ive seen this in my nightmares. We dont pay him the money, he leaves, goes to either NE or MIA, and that is the beginning of bad things to come.

Its like a nuclear weapon. You have to retain it so it can be in no one else’s hands.

Plus he is amazing and the perfect cornerstone for Rex’s defense. We’ve talked about how much flexibility a shutdown corner gives defenses. Allows you to employ exotic blitzes… stack the box… etc. WE NEED HIM!!

which is what we should do every season.

I’d say don’t be doormats, but get it ironed out by the regular season. The man commands an amazing salary even as far as football is concerned, but I would want to see another consecutive year of shutdown performance before I offered anybody in the world anything near 20 million a year.

I don’t think anybody pays it out of fear of the cap returning and being stuck.

Pay the man!! But not too crazy. We still have ppl tp pay.

Darelle Revis is the reason I went to the Meadowlands, in the cold, and spent 10 dollars on drinks and 6 dollars for every hot dog. He was the reason I had no problem paying 12 bucks to park my car.

Why do I spend about 200 bucks every time I go to a football game?

I do it to see players like Darelle Revis. Darelle Revis is the reason I go to Jets games and he is the reason I enjoy myself.

Pay the man, end of story.

I’m one of about 60,000 people who does that. Per game. And my tickets are cheap. When they’re away, I’m watching them on TV. And I’m one of about 5 million people doing that.

It is the fans that provides the NFL with an income. My individual voice means nothing. But what’s the point of going to the games if they aren’t going to keep the best players?

Wait to sign Revis? That is so funny. Are you really Tony Sparano in disguise?

Business aside, you make exceptions for the best CB in the game.

i could care less if these guys didnt even have names .i pull for the colors

not saying that i would ever want to trade revis, but if i had to put a price on it…starting price would being at three #1 draft picks.

I think he deserves more money than all those names except Peyton Manning. And I’m sure you would agree. But that’s irrelevant.

I get your point. But here’s my point:

Keep him happy. Keep him a Jet. We all know he won’t get the 20 mil. And I think one of the reasons the NFL is the best league out there is because the owners/GMs are smart about contracts. Otherwise, this would be the NBA.

But we all know he’s worthy of a huge pay raise. He deserves it. And we, as fans, deserve to see him happy and playing to the best of his abilities. We don’t want him changing. We want him to be the productive, shut down CB that will confidently and effectively cover brandon marshall, randy moss, steve smith, superman, batman, and whoever else the other team has.

Make it happen!
