Revis, Jets Still $40M Apart

Revis is totally out of line. Most players don’t make that kind of money and he won’t accept it?!? Through this whole holdout, my image of him has changed from a great cornerback to a brat who whines until he gets what he wants.

I honestly don’t think anyone knows wtf they are talking about. I really think Cowlishaw believes in his source, which gives me a bit of hope, also I think if his source is with HBO, they might be trying to keep this thing from the Jets beat writers, to create a big event on Wednesday (makes total sense). It’s also not like the Jets writers have had anything to report about it since the blackout, so it eassy for them to save face and report what they think they know, instead of saying, we have no idea where they are, a guy from Dallas is cooping us.

I’m really interested to see what goes on Wednesday.

40 million apart. Sounds like Revis is more likely to hold out the rest of the year rather than sign a new contract this year.

Sure, he has the final say to end this charade, but the dirty agents behind the deal are to blame for this posturing and delusional perception. They don’t really care if they ruin their clients image if they get the giant payday right now. Heck, this would have to be one of their biggest paydays. It doesn’t matter what team he plays for to them or if it ruins said team in the long term, they want their cut.

That being said, Revis needs to man up and protect his image along with his career potential. So many great players never get a ring, and if this costs Revis a ring, no one will have sympathy for him. His agents could give a damn and aren’t looking out for his best interests at all, they’re just looking out for their wallets in the short term, it’s pretty obvious.

I know this will sound cazy but maybe the best option is give Revis permisson (just to talk no way in hell really trade him) to talk to other teams. It is a big risk but I really don’t think he will find 2 GM’s willing to give him the money he wants. In theory if this plays out like I think and hope it does, Revis will realize no one will meet his asking price which brings him back to the Jets offer (long shot at best)? Don’t know if it will work but it seems like nothing else is working. I don’t want him to sit out the whole year and this process as it is now is going and staying with no progress.

The article reads to me as the author doesnt believe colinshaw, and the reiterates the 40MM dollar separation we knew of for the past week. It does not read there still is a 40MM dollar separation just simply restates old info.

From this article:

“Stephen A. Smith similarly tweeted that LeBron James, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade were all going to sign with Miami, well before the decision unfolded. His claims were dismissed, but it ultimately turned out that Stephen A. was right.”

Are you kidding me? We’re laying off teachers, cops and firefighters and someone won’t take $120 million to play football? Where is the outrage and disgust? I’m a season ticket holder since 1964 and I’m done. We are just ATM’s for the NFL, the owners and the players. You pay $30 for a $5 hat b/c it has the logo for an NFL team on it just so you can go around advertising their product on your head. Go to the game…$20 to park, $7.50 for a hot dog, $5 for a soda..ka ching ka ching. Just so we can pay out -of – touch greedy athletes obscene amounts of money in an economy where people are losing their homes and going hungry. I’m sorry poor Darelle might have to compromise somewhere between $120 & $160 million. Boycott the NFL. Take your family to a local D3 or I-AA college game. Trust me, the games are just as entertaining and exciting.

Just like every other player that has gotten a huge contract after playing well in their rookie contract years looking to up grade their contract before the old one is out they sign and the don’t produce 10 years from now Revis won’t be worth 15 million a season and he knows it!!! and thats why he trying to cash in now heck he may not be worth that in 5 season from now he is a aragant piece of crap and they should make him sit the remander of his contract out loose that money then see what people offer him then probaly no where near the jets offer then he can kick him self in the ass for not signing then kyle wilson will do just fine and turn out just as good if not better than revis jets second teamers need to get on the ball tho and revis YOUR A POOR ROLE MODEL FOR KIDS EVERY WHERE YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR SELF !!!!!!!!

I think we give in and sign him to a deal that is written like this:

You get $1 more than the higest CB salary of any CB in the NFL. That salary is calculated each year based on the then current salaries. Only catch is that you are only compared to CBs from the same draft class or earlier (meaning players his age or older). Guarantee the first 3 years, which are the years he owes us anyhow.

This should work well now cause Revis is so young compared to other high earning CBs, but in 3-5 years, he’ll still be great, but on the decline and he wont have recourse to have his $$ matched to young kids who are on the way up (like Wilson).

I mean a 10 year deal really? WTF would the Jets even talk to this guy, he’s under contract for 3 years. I know he’s all world but come on, they should stop negotiations until he returns to earth

1) For Every Blown Coverage He’s Got to give back 50k 2) If He Doesn’t Hold Recievers to Under 30yards Give back 100k per game 3) Every Year with less than 6 pic offs Give Back 250k 4) If He Don’t Return 1 Pic For Td Every year Give Back 250k 5) If He Don’t Average At Least 76 Solo Tackles a Year Give Back 750k A Year 6) Get At 66 Assitted tackles a year give back 750k a year 7) Get At least 2 Sacks per year if not give back 100k a year If he can garrenty all his stats for the next ten years then he should get his money but he can’t no one can he is not god so on that note he is being totally unreasonable and NEEDS TO START ACTING LIKE A FRINGING PROFESSIONAL AND TAKE SOME TIPS FROM A CLASS ACT LIKE NICK MANGOLD !!!!!!
