Jets & Revis To Announce Deal Wednesday?

please be true!

This **********er better not be BSing us >:o

Or maybe Ben Maller. These guys are usually really good about getting info, way better than Jason La Confused on NFLN.

I went through a lot of the twitter BS for lebron in july. A lot of reputable writers had a lot of false information. Agents and team would purposefully leak out false info, and writers would guess to try to get their own names out.

It’s certainly possible that he’s right but we will find out soon

I feel like this is a little too good to be true.

Revis has no reason not to wait until the 1st game

Maybe HBO fronted the 40M difference so that they could get the breaking news on their network. I am, of course, kidding

Since a couple guys out there can’t read it if they don’t subscribe to Newsday or Cablevision. And here’s the link for those who can: http://www.newsday.com/sports/football/glauber-s-nfl-hot-reads-1.811959/twitter-report-jets-revis-close-on-contract-1.2230067

Ok, first of all, I’m just going to say that this is one of the most bizarro reporting jobs I’ve ever done in journalism, and is reflective of the wacky world of communication we live in. So bear with me if it takes a little while to get it all out.

Let’s start here:

In a post on his Twitter account at around 3:30 p.m., Dallas Morning News columnist Tim Cowlishaw wrote: "Revis and Jets announce new deal, probably Wednesday. You heard it here first. “Inside information!”"

This was a stunning revelation, given the secretive nature of talks since the two sides agreed not to speak publicly about negotiations. And there have been a few follow-up tweets by Jets beat reporters, including @TheJetsStream (Manish Mehta of the Daily News) and @JennyVrentas (of the Star-Ledger), as well as ESPN’s @Adam_Schefter suggesting that the report is not accurate.

There was also some speculation from Profootballtalk.com’s @GreggRosenthal that Cowlishaw’s account was hacked.

Well, I can say with reasonable assurance that Cowlishaw’s account has NOT been hacked. How? Well, I tweeted Cowlishaw and asked “is that really you saying that Revis signing is imminent?”

I also called Cowlishaw on his cell phone, but did not get a call back. However, I did get the following back.

“@BobGlauber Read what I wrote, Cubby (so u know it’s me). Did I say imminent or announcement probably will be wednesday?”

The key word in here: “Cubby.” That’s the nickname I gave to Cowlishaw years ago when he was a beat reporter covering the Cowboys. So if Cowlishaw’s Twitter account had been hacked, then it would have been an awfully unusual coincidence for said hacker to know that this is what I call Cowlishaw.

So rest assured that Cowlishaw is, in fact, reporting that a deal is close and could be announced as soon as Wednesday. (btw, Cubby, what the hell’s the difference between “imminent” and “announcement will probably be wednesday?”)

Now, is this really the case that a deal is close and could be announced Wednesday, when the Jets will hold an open practice at their old training camp at Hofstra? We’re about to find out.

In the meantime, the only two sides with direct knowledge of the negotiations are holding to their posture of not speaking publicly. There is radio silence from the Jets and Revis’ agents, Jonathan Feinsod and Neil Schwartz.

Some hard knocks editor saw video that indicates they have a deal, and still has contact with cowlishaw from the cowboys days. Only way the cowlishaw would get the info before beat writers or big football writers.

So pretty much what dvdvil said

I mean by 1st posting this, and then defending it, i believe him that someone close who had someway of knowing something told him. I mean, he has too much to lose as a credible reporter. He would burn bridges, and could even lose his job by making stuff up.

I’d rather see Mangold get signed before Schwartz & Feinsod I mean Revis. But I surely hopes this serves to bring our star corner back home.

Anyway, does anyone happen to know who Mangold’s agent is? Maybe he should school Douche 1 and Douche 2 in Negotiations 101.

Crack is Right! Not Wack! I am hooked on Crack! LOL!!
