Revis' Manager Insults D'Brickashaw's Contract

PrintWhile most people think D'Brickashaw Ferguson should be happy to get locked up long term, Darrelle Revis' manager, John Geiger, has a different perspective.
Who did fergs deal? Master p? Lol so sad...
Master P was the rapper turned football agent who negotiated Ricky Williams' rookie contract. Williams' contract was widely panned as being too incentive laden and not having enough guaranteed money for his Draft position.
Certain aspects of Ferguson's contract have been brought into question by football blogging's village idiot citing his trademark unsubstantiated innuendo. Brian Bassett Bent of TJB does a great job telling us what it really means if true.
It's a bad sign, though, that a guy in Revis' inner circle is saying these things about Brick's contract. It could be a sign things are going to get acrimonious.

Ugh
This whole situation is just getting worse and worse. There was a point where I thought it would be impossible for Revis not to get a new deal with us, but right now I’m not even sure if he’s gonna be with the team by the time the season starts.
Rule #1: Don't comment on another player's business.
I don’t blame Revis for trying to cash in on his value after the team promised to revisit his contract. But his agent should now be fired for commenting on another player’s deal. Drawing divisions between your client and his teamates is unforgivable. It is ENTIRELY unprofessional. Revis must axe this guy.
John Geiger isn't Revis's agent
He is his manager and best friend. Neil Schwartz is his agent.
Still a douche thing to say, especially considering the money Brick will be getting.

I think Geiger should stick to making semi-humorous videos and leave the football aspects to other people.

his public ridicule is absolutely a reflection of the way revis talks behind closed doors to him
interesting how the link to geiger’s tweet is no longer available.

Maybe he read the site and thought it was best he take it down. Good decision.

His Tweets:
My friends, family, and true followers know me, I did NOT bash any players on the jets..
Some people need to realize what’s it like to be under a microscope, to where every move or words said can be misunderstood..
Geiger should cry a river. Him ripping D’Brick’s agent was incredibly unprofessional, and he deserved to be called out.

Just checked the Twitter trail. It was definitely in response to us.

this is outrageous
Geiger is actively creating problems with other Jet players now? If Geiger doesn’t apologize or get fired, then Revis is the problem. Revis is responsible for what his camp says. I’m tired of his crap. Taking plays off during camp was also unprofessional. The kid needs another talking to.
If Revis wants to hold out, then that’s his right. But to actively create problems with the team is way out of line.
Geiger got the job by virtue of being Revis’ friend. He has no experience. His lack of discretion and professionalism is evident and typical.

Geiger is probably manager in name only, like John said, he’s got the title because he’s Revis’s best mate. However I think Revis needs to give him a talking to about what he should or shouldn’t say…..then again I find myself wondering whether Revis cares anyway. It seems his ego is ballooning uncontrollably at the minute.

It really isn’t as bad as it looks according to nyjetscap.com
Get busy winning or get busy losing.
“Hey, have we met? John Geiger, Darrelle Revis’s best friend.”
“Oh, hi, my name’s John Geiger, Darrelle Revis’s best friend.”
“Any single ladies here interested in Darrelle Revis’s best friend? Cause that’s me, John Geiger, Darrelle Revis’s best friend. No, I don’t really serve any kind of a purpose, just sort of here, being Darrelle Revis’s best friend. You know how it is.”

when you consider the mocking comments of revis' manager and the fact that the jets are
reticent to write a contract with a lot of guaranteed money, i don’t see how these negotiations can get resolved before the start of the season. it will be interesting to see what kind of teammate revis is if he doesn’t get his contract.

Stupid
Usually a contract extension kicks in when the current contract expires. Guaranteeing a contract while still playing under the old contract doesn’t much sense to me. And for this scrub to bash or comment on something that doesnt affect him or even the player he represents, Brick should be pissed and so should the Jets IMO. That would be like me telling a brain surgeon how to perform an operation. But this Revis situation is becoming more alarming be the week it seems.
Since the face been revealed the game got real
