Darrelle Revis Contract Conflict: A Reasonable Solution

PrintNYDN's Manish Mehta touches on a resolution which could allow the Revis camp and Jets FO to come to a short-term agreement, at least until the end of the 2010-11 season.
One possible scenario may be giving Revis somewhere in the neighborhood of $10 million this season -- or
about $6 million less than Nnamdi Asomugha’s 2010 salary -- while keeping the provision of $20 million in guarantees for 2011 and 2012.
In essence, that would give Revis $30 million guaranteed and end the impasse.
Obviously a good short-term solution to the problem, but the issue remains that it's just setting up for a FO nightmare in 2011 -2012 if the NFL goes back to a cap, which is likely.
Still, it seems like a fair solution for both parties, as the Jets would be getting good value only having to pay him $10 million this season, and the Revis camp would be happy in receiving the guaranteed money (security) they've sought after. It would also satisfy the 30 percent rule (for now), which has been another deterrent from the NFL in closing this deal.

possible solution
Let Revis play out the contract, he turned down the offer let’s move on.
And allow the media to not provide updates on this ongoing saga every single day?
Well we know that won’t happen ; )

LET'S JUST PLAY FOOTBALL!!!
Do agree with you though on that premise, unfortunately it does not seem as if that will be the case. Somethings gotta give.

So of unrelated, but here’s a DELICIOUS nugget from florio:
“Finally, here’s something to tuck away for future reference. If the Jets struggle this year, look for Ryan to commence the process of trying to get G.M. Mike Tannenbaum run out of town, by blaming Tannenbaum’s handling of the “Core Four” for screwing up the chemistry in the locker room."

If Florio actually implied or wrote that he's smoking crack
Tannenbaum has given Ryan everything he possibly could given the circumstances. As a GM I think he’s committed to getting us the best available talent. This off season the weapons he has given Rex is astounding.
I know we’ve run into trouble with these contract negotiations but the league is really handcuffing us with this 30% crap and final 8 rules.
Besides, there are alot of GMs out there that don’t even bother to entertain the coaches need’s. Case in point…Al Davis.
What did the 5 fingers say to the face?

Florio is truly a moron...
and an obvious Jets hater, I think we should vote to ban his name and anything written by him from this site.
I actually was thinking you do the opposite; give revis 16 mil for two years and lower his number once namdi is due for a new contract.

There is a good chance Nnamdi will be cut next year.

like this idea
i love revis, but honestly what is the chance any DB has as dominant a year as he had last year? he is trying to cash in on it and i don’t begrudge him that, but we can’t expect him to replicate last year. so giving him less than $16 is good
