Revis & Jets to Meet Tonight UPDATE

Print6:36pm (UPDATE): Bart Hubbuch, NY Post:
All indications are that reports of a meeting tonight between Revis and the #Jets are not true.
According to the new man in the know Tim Cowlishaw:
Jets' meeting with Revis' people tonite will decide if I was a little overconfident in my initial prediction. But they're talking.
Which was followed by another tweet by Tim:
Revis taped TV interview yesterday to air Wednesday. Not part of "Hard Knocks" I don't think. Checking now to find out what said.
It's still a sit and wait type deal, but the two sides talking and a TV interview to air on Wednesday. Writers and members alike here at GGN insisted that no journalist would put his reputation on the line like this without having knowledge. As far as I can see, it is gathering steam by the day. ESPN 1050 also ran a radio segment earlier which seemed to back up Cowlishaw's claims.

This in my opinion is great news. My guess is the Jets and the agents are meeting tonight to confirm a deal that had been discussed and agreed to in the last few weeks. I also assume that Revis will be discussing the deal and why he was holding out in the interview. If he was not signing why would he be doing an interview?? He hasn’t done one yet since his holdout.
the interview would go against a media blackout- of course unless there wasn’t a need for one anymore….

Is it me, or has this thing gotten so ugly that the fact that it may eventually end soon seem surreal? It’s as if we’ve picked up a huge free agent.

Exactly.
I would like nothing more then to see the team put this behind them and move on. Mabye GGNers will stop crucifying me for saying the words “Revis” and “Trade” in the same sentence. lol. Closure is a wonderfull thing.

Thats it! I want fruit baskets with “thank you” cards from all of you. lmao!

Thank You Colinyoung! If he signs I’m sending you a virtual fruit basket!…Of course if they anounce a trade I will be out locating a Haitian witchdoctor or an old Gypsy woman! LOL!

Ahhahaha
I have a bad history with Haitian witch-doctors. A long time ago I one told a bunch of my friends we should trade Kevin Mawae and I woke up the next day with a third nipple on my forehead.

Noooooo thank youuuuu!
I was sitting in a mcdonalds with my lil girl and an old russian woman snuck up behind my seat to say hi to her. She looked just like that women from that movie. Apparently my subconscience reflex in face of extreme terror is to spit yogurt parfait all over my demonic attacker.

Trading Revis would be the single worst mistake this franchise would ever make.

Actually I agree.
But I saw no problem discussing the possibility. Alot of others did however. And they let me know it, too. But I don’t care. I wanted to talk about the possibility of a trade and the Idea that they could still win a superbowl without him. It made posting a teenie bit more interesting while waiting for info on this whole mess.

No worries Mr. Colinyoung.
We still appreciate you. We will no longer call you heathen and ill wish you lol =-)
For me to believe Tim.
I needed him to report more info on this situation as a “guy in the know”. I have to give him credit. This story looks to be based in something he can actually prove. I have a much better time buying into this now that he’s backing up his tip-off with more info. For me, this is more credable now. You gotta give it to this guy. He’s got rock hard yams.
Plus a million to this guy!
Can we just hope we didnt agree to give this guy the whole barn and all our chickens to get him to sign?

I doubt it. The Jets may have upped the guaranteed money a little but I seriously doubt they gave in to his demands.
by chrebetsthebet on Aug 24, 2010 4:59 PM EDT up reply actions
Well that would mean he came to his senses a lil.
And that would be great news.

I agree. They probably upped the $Gs (guaranteed money) a bit, but that’s about it. And to tell you the truth, I think they were going to give him the $Gs from the jump, it’s just the total amount that they were squabbling about. I gotta see how this team is going to look with Revis in the line up… this just looks like fantasy (defensively at least).
GANG GREEN ALL DAY!
You see, it's not about how you won the game, it's about how you played the game.... there's a difference.
I just hope he stays motivated once he gets his pay day. He seems like a guy who takes pride in his craft, but you never know with athletes these days. Will always feat the post contract drop off until I see the performance maintain the high standards

See, I think his preformances will ensure that.
He was soo good. Giving up so few touches and only a handfull of TD’s. The First time he slips up the entire world will jump all over him. He’s too driven to want that. Well at least I hope. lol

Indeed. I’m totally worried about that too…. I hope he stays motivated to dominate for years to come.

I just remember when I used to think that about Kerry, thought he was as driven as they come to be the best of the best in all facets of the game. After we gave him that contract he wen’t downhill, still good but not as good as his early potential hinted at. I’m hopeful (and somewhat confident) that it won’t happen to Revis, but he’s cranked up the pressure on himself this off-season.

Looks like I will actually have to make a
“Darrelle Revis : We Are All Relieved” post… I’m a man of my word.
"You're like that old, beat down restaurant with the dirty bathrooms, weird customers and foul odor, I'm like that new shiny restaurant across the street with the bright neon lights, fishes in the floor and 2nd floor gymnasium. Why don't I have any customers?!"
On 1050 ESPN Radio
Bill Daughtery said he got a tip from a guy in the know at a golf tournament who received a email at 4 in the morning saying Revis will come back Thursday, guy knew Greg Buddle.
Bill Daughtery is one of the least knowledgeable radio voices in sport. Not saying that a blind squirrel can’t find a nut, but Daughtery was discussing the Lebron thing on the radio when it was hot and was under the impression that there is no such thing as an NBA salary cap, and berated callers who tried to correct him. He is pretty much clueless on any topic, unfortunately.

Yeah I know I remember like it was yesterday
But a source is a source, it seemed pretty credible how he put it, guy received a email at 4 in the morning, seems like its the third party guys who are in the know with this. The Prominent ESPN guys and people who have been covering the story for a while seem to not be in the loop on these new peaces of info, but better or worse I hope Bill is right.
Zero.
Jets fans will be too busy playing with themselves and bragging on Patspulpit. lol

Funny if we do get Revis locked up
SMH its not even going to be fair in the passing game, I would love to see Kyle Wilson get his hands on Wes Welker
AOL FanHouse
Is also reporting that they have the principles done in the deal, they’re just hammering out the minor stuff tonight and can announce it as soon as tomorrow. Mike Florio is, of course, denying it.

Just on Sportscenter...
Saying that they are “almost there” per Fanhouse…plus Cowlishaw keeps spewing rumors…this is looking good!!
