The Darrelle Revis Saga is Over: Revis, Jets Agree to a Deal
by Matt Birch on Sep 6, 2010 12:35 AM EDT
Email
PrintThe 36-day war is over. With exactly seven days to go until the Jets' MNF opener against the Ravens, the league's most-talented CB and 'real' 2009-10 DPOY picked a good time to end this contract impasse. The prolific 'shutdown corner will once again be locking down opposing WR1's and taking names while doing it.
Manish and NYDN were on top of things per usual, and provided the specifics behind the deal:
The Jets agreed to a deal in principle with All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis around 11:45 pm on Sunday night. It's a 4-year, $46 million deal -- with $32 million guaranteed -- according to sources. (It's technically a 7-year deal that will easily be voided to four years).
The Associated Press has reported Revis will fly from his South Florida home to New Jersey on Monday morning to finalize the deal and sign the contract. During a 1 A.M. conference call early this morning, GM Mike Tannenbaum said he expected Revis to be at practice on Monday, "barring something unforeseen."
Cue the return of exotic blitzes out of the secondary, cue FS Brodney Pool being up to sneak up in the box and help stop the run, and cue Revis-Cromartie-Wilson as the top 3 on Jets' CB depth chart. That's one hell of a combination if you ask us.
So breathe easy, Jets fans. The shutdown CB has returned, and the Jets' defense has now received a huge upgrade.
The team did lose some leadership in order to free up some of the guaranteed money that was offered to Revis, but hopefully veterans like Richardson and Coles can return and be signed after week 1. Still, the Jets' strongest link is now going to be out there wearing the green and white, and this looks like a Super Bowl caliber team once again.
Revis Tweeted the following after the deal was announced:
To my family, neil, & john I love u guys I'm comin home baby!!! Revis Island LET'S GO.

I thought I wouldn't either.
My attitude was kinda like screw Revis, even if he comes back, but now that we’re a week out, he’s back in, and for reasonable money (!!!) no less, I have to say, Darrelle, you were killin’ me, but I love you again.
Crackback and kv….. can we be friends again now? Lol?
Can anyone hear that?

Oh yeah ... .you're right ...
Because we were so scared of Revis last year, that we beat you …. Twice… Now we are much better than we were last year on both sides of the ball. Revis has to be able to stop Brandon Marshall, Ronnie, Ricky, and Davone Bess for me to be worried.
This year we actually have a defensive coordinator. We will see how things go when we play, if it is even close.
when does the season start.....
by Jason Scott_90 on Sep 6, 2010 6:58 AM EDT up reply actions
You mean Ted Ginn beat us twice.
The guys you have now didn’t beat the Jets at all.
I'm pretty sure that Chad Henne led both game-winning drives last year with no help from Ginn.
And we just added 2 of the 3 best players available over the offseason, and that’s not even really debatable. Then add one of the best coaching acquisitions and a draft completely dedicated towards our defense and I’m feeling pretty good. A lot better than I did last year.
Ok best coaching acquisitions, milk just came out my nose, Mike Nolan is an over rated coat tail rider, who has never built success just fallen into it, and couldn’t cut it as a HC. If he was so good why can’t he keep a job.
2 of the best 3 FA, I can maybe give you that one, but it was also and awful year for FA. Marahalls great, but needs a speed threat on the other side which you guys stupidly gave away, and Dansby is very good not great or even top 5 at his position.
Your secondary still sucks, Smith can’t even hold on to his starting position. You lost your defenses team leader.
Henne had little to do with either Phins win, you won game one because of Brown and the wildcat, you won game two 100% because of Ginn, take him away and you were completely outplayed.
Nolan took a defense that was ranked in the 20's and made it into a top ten unit last year.
The reason why he left was because of McDaniels, something that has become commonplace in Denver.
Marshall has plenty of talent across from him right now in Bess and Hartline, as well as two really good looking rookies, one of which is I believe 6’4" and runs a 4.4. Ginn was TERRIBLE and just happened to outrun some Jets on three plays, and it still took a throw that I don’t think a lot of QB’s can make to complete that TD.
Dansby may not be top 5 for his position, but he instantly takes the place as leader on our defense from someone who was just keeping a phenomenal talent on the bench.
“I think maybe five years from now, maybe one year from now,” Taylor wrote, “People in Miami will quickly forget about me and talk about Cameron Wake because I think he has that kind of talent.”
As far as our secondary, they are definitely our weak link and a work in progress, but Vontae Davis seems he is ready to take a step towards being a shut down corner. We shall see.
As far as Henne, bottom line is your defense had a chance in both games last year to stop him in the 4th quarter and it didn’t happen. Even though the touchdown in the first game was with the Wildcat, it was set up by several great plays by Henne.
Please the Broncos were all luck last year, and the defense was #10, nothing more. Nolan couldn’t handle getting yelled out (he’s going to do great under Sparano and Parcells then) for having an awful game plan going up against Indy.
Marshall has no legit deep threat, Hartline and Bess are possession guys as well, you have no one to stretch the safety.
Secondary is the most important position in the league right now, if you cant throw with Manning and Brees, you have to be able to stop them, the Phins cant do either.
Henne only had success the first game, because the wildcat was totally giving the defense fits, and threw them off guard.
I don't know where you're getting #10 from.
Everything that I’ve read has said #9, but that’s splitting hairs and bottom line is the defense was MUCH better under Mike Nolan. As far as his run in with McDaniel, there have been plenty of people that have had run-ins with him so I’m going to put that one on McDaniel, not Nolan. Plus, Denver’s D was actually ranked much higher until McDaniel took some of the power away from Nolan.
Hartline is much faster than people think he is, and I think that whole “you need someone to stretch the field” is overrated. The Cards had been doing quite well with Fitz and Boldin, neither of which are even close to burners.
Secondary, as I said, we’ll see. We got a new FS, an extra year of experience for our two young corners, and a returning pro-bowl SS. Not to mention 2 rookies and a veteran brought in for depth.
And you can’t put Henne’s success on the Wildcat; he was not on the field for any of the Wildcat plays, so you guys knew when we were running it and when we weren’t. If it had any effect on the defense defending Henne, it was them either being fatigued or playing on tilt. Neither of those should happen to any extent on a professional ball club, at least not to the point that you are suggesting.
Bottom line to me...
is you guys simply over achieved last year, and haven’t improved as much as you think.
Oh and btw Marshall has no similarities to Fitz or Boldin, he’s more in the Welker mold (on the outside), a dink and dunker who needs a burner on the other side to create space. Fitz and Boldin may not be burners but they could stretch the field and go out past 10 yards.
I can KIND OF see how you can compare Marshall to Welker...
because they are both YAC guys, but Marshall can still go up and get the jump ball. I mean the guys 6’4" 230 lbs. And while Welker uses quickness, Marshall uses size and strength. I may sound like a homer here, but I don’t see how you can compare Marshall to anybody in the league. The guy’s a beast. As far as needing a speedster on the other side, there are a lot of Phin fans that share that same sentiment, but again, we have a couple of guys with some speed. Not Ginn speed, but there are only a hand full of those in the league (and believe me, the speed was not worth the drops).
And I don’t know how you can say we over-achieved last year. Maybe in ‘08, but last year we had 3-game losing streaks to start and end the year where we clearly under-performed. We went 7-6 with Henne as our starter, lost our starting RB as well as many other key players, and would have blown out both Super Bowl teams had it not been for either TERRIBLE defense, a few REALLY bad calls (I know everybody blames that on a loss, but its true), or a dropped pass from the very player that you say was the only reason why we beat you last year. Change any ONE of those 3, and we win one or both of those games last year. If anything, we should have finished with a much better record last year. Don’t forget that with 2 and 3 games left in the season we were picked to win the wild card, not you.
Yeah, it probably won't be close.
You dudes are gona get drubbed for last year. At least you admittedly say it may not be close :)
Hey buddy.
You’re hear reading this thread because you are concerned, its the only reason you’re here. And Ginn definitely beat us those 2 games, we beat ourselves as well. The point is, just admit it that Revis has you concerned, you was praying that Revis would be out and Marshall didn’t have to worry about him.
When a team in your division get’s their best player back it causes concern for the other teams so don’t even try to deny it. What happened last year don’t mean shit my man. New teams, new players lets see who’s the better team.
The point is you’re worried and thats why you’re here reading, I’m not at the dolphins site reading what Henne is doing during the offseason because I dont care, It doesn’t worry me. Revis worries you, quit the bitterness and admit it.

Honestly...
As long as he doesn’t slack and continues to play like I beast… I don’t care.
As greedy as any players are, I don’t generally find that they’re much worse than the owners.
I wonder if Rex gave him some speech
like hey man, I don’t give a fuck if you are gonna make 16 million dollars, I don’t give a fuck if you are gonna make one million dollars. Brandon Marshall and Randy Moss are out here talking about what a goddamn queer you are, so I want you to get out here and beat the goddamn fuck out of somebody, how’s that?
OK

Yeah, some of us get shitty when we sharply disagree
Don’t think he means anything by it.
I’m still deeply disappointed by the loss of Richardson but hopefully John Conner will make me forget all about it.
Maybe they had an understanding, if not it just leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.
Good for Coles
Its a joke the way this team treats vets. He never really got a chance to show he could still play in preseason.
He may be coming back, don't bad mouth the FO just yet.
We cut these guys so they’re money wouldn’t be guaranteed, just might have been the extra cash for Revis who knows. Coles and Richardson or Revis? Easy decision.

Of course I would want Revis over those guys but ...
Richardson deserved better, we arent talking about a lot of money here. Coles also deserved better, why bring him in and not even give him a real shot?
Coles may return.
I believe he’s interested in coaching, and he may have that opportunity with the Jets.
and the home of the... JETS!!!
www.ganggreennation.com
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
Perception is reality.
I would love to see Coles become a coach
I think he has a lot to offer. I also was hoping the Jets had the opportunity to bring back Chad as the backup instead of Brunell, think he will make a great QB coach.
I dono, Coles is like our
5th or 6th WR. Guys like him and T-Rich have made a lot of money in their careers. It really is just business, Coles even said so himself. I thought they were up front with LC, and he was classy about it.
Like, Look LC, we are paying you too much for a 4th or 5th WR, sign you back on after week 1 if you want to play here, if not, we’ll give you some time to see if you can get a starting job. At this point, the Jets offer veteran players the chance to come in here and try to win something before the end of their careers. That’s our draw. If they want to get paid, they can go somewhere else. I know it’s brutal, but there is no place for sentimentality here.
Richardson I am a bit more worried about, I would have kept him around, but I do trust Mike T. I would love for both of these players to be suited up week 2 against the Pats.
OK, progress.
NOW CAN HE FIRE HIS ASSHOLE AGENTS?!

NO. I said 47M guarannteed.
I was thinking 7 yrs for 105
It actually seems like Revis let them make it into a 7/46 deal because that would help our cap situation
I really believe now that Revis had no plans of actually holding out, because this is very reasonable money for a player like him. He got in here before it got too late, and i respect him for that. If he had actually sat out games that would have really rubbed me the wrong way. Anyway, glad this is over.

Congrats on the Revis signing. You guys are my pick to win the super bowl this year, and yall’s defense could be in comparison to that of the ’85 Bears D after this season is done. The only X factor I have with you guys is Sanchez. If he can get it together, you guys will be lights out.
Right now I have a hard time seeing an opposing team get a first down on you guys. Yall’s secondary is SICK. Revis, Cromartie, and Wilson. You guys got three above average corners right there. I’m not going to be surprised when I see Rex blitz on every single play.
Yall’s D shouldn’t ever allow over 200 yards in a game honestly.
Good luck this year, and beat the s**t out of Brady. I’m not going to be surprised when I see Tom Brady is out for the year after playing you guys. The number of blitzes he is going to see is insane.

Classy, objective post. As an aside, I enjoy watching the Texans and want them to take the south every year.
When Pace and Santonio return this team will be loaded, even more so if we do some post week 1 signing miracles.
But what you said is 100% true. If everyone lives up to their expectations everything will fall on Sanchez’s shoulders. If everyone plays to their level Sanchez will have nobody to blame or thank for his performance but himself.
Whether or not this is a championship team now hinges entirely on Sanchez and the tumultuous random day to day occurrences of professional football.
I'm seriously terrified at yall's D.
Stacked top to bottom. Can’t wait to see you guys play on Monday Night Football. I’m a defensive guy so It’s going to be exciting watching probably the best D in the past 2 decades. A defensive minded fan living in Houston, go figure.

But I don’t think he’ll have much trouble playing like he earns it.

What are you smoking?
You really think Revis is going to punk out Boldin the way it’s being implied here? Before the cheapshot by Smith, on his last visit to Gotham City Boldin dominated/manhadled almost every member of that Jet secondary in the run game. Didn’t have a bad game catching passes either. Revis is a better player now but is this Ravens team is better.
Revis has covered far better WRs than Boldin
Sure Boldin tore it up against the Jets secondary, but that was while the team was still coached by Mangini. This is a totaly different defense now.
This game will tell us a lot
Considering how that offense has looked, I’d be more concerned about the Jets offense. Sanchez looks like a player regressing. Holmes your best WR is out until week 4. Slauson is about to get slaughtered and Ducasse while talented is not ready for prime-time. For all the talk about Shonn Green, he is not a proven bell-cow back for 16 games.
A lot of moving parts on that offense for a team with serious Super Bowl aspiration. I like my defense against your offense.
If you think what the Jets ran in preseason is anything but a vanilla scheme, you need to learn about football
Im not going to knock the Ravens defense, just remember that Rex knows almost every guys weakness on that team. Ray Lewis is a year older and Ed Reed is going to do what he does best nowadays, miss the game. We wont have to worry about our offense, our defense will score more than your offense. Prediction for Flacco? Pain.
I do know a football from a hockey puck
Sure, everybody runs vannila schemes. Execution is the goal right. It did not occurr with the Jet offense during the pre-season. Maybe you saw a different team than the one I saw. Wait a minute—-that is it.?
Um, the preseason doesnt mean diddly
You dont recall how the 0-16 Lions did in the preseason that year do you? They went undefeated. While I didnt like what I saw from most of the offense during the preseason, I’m not going to get all worried about it. I wont even be worried if Sanchez has a bad game and the Jets lose game one to the Ravens. They will be just fine this year.
Okay!
Look, the Jets have talent. So I disagree with the Lions comparison. Just letting you know I’m watching your team.
Didn't think that was a cheap shot more just the cost of doing business.
"Sorry bro, he Jason Bourned me"- Drama
Revis did all of this for an extra 11 million?
RichCimini Revis gets $32m in various guarantees. He had $21m when this whole mess started.So all he gets is another $11m while committing an extra yr?
lol...kind of weird huh but that is life changing money to normal people so I can't say
that was good or bad just glad its over
"Sorry bro, he Jason Bourned me"- Drama
Sure it's life changing money for normal people but ..
In the end it looks like the Jets came out the winners. Revis got an extra 11 million but his rep took a hit with the fans. So was it really worth it?
Well He has only made about 15 mil so, 11 mil almost doubles his net worth...
Yeah forgive and forget..some will still have a chapped ass but as long as its a team friendly cap number thats all I ever wanted. hindsight we can be glad this happened, now we have revis for 4 more years before free agency instead of 3…
"Sorry bro, he Jason Bourned me"- Drama
Huh what do you mean...
none of the money left on his contract was guaranteed, he would have been guaranteed to make $1million this year if he was on the roster, but thats it.
Jets had options for $5 million and 15 million the next two (the other $20 million your talking about), but it wasn’t guaranteed, they could have cut him and paid him nothing if he got injured, etc.
Revis got only part of what he was after
He got his guaranteed money but he didnt clost to the money he was asking for(top paid CB), it seems this wasnt far off from what he was originally being offered. Who really knows what was going on behind the scenes though.
mevis
It was all about the guarantees and he got more than he was originally getting. All in all a good contract for both sides. I’m glad he’s back for the jets and the fans, but he will always be MEVIS to me now. An awesome CB that will surely help, but I know what he is all about now, 2 hold outs in 3 years.
Welcome back mevis and now let’s make a good SB run.
Great news for you guys!
I’m an Eagles fan, but I am getting into the Jets a little bit too. Honestly, I hate the Pats (for obvius reasons), hate the Giants and I kind of like sexy Rexy. He’s loud, arrogant, unconventional and funny if you ask me. I think you guys can knock the Pats off thier perch this season. Happy this happened, good uck this year.
It turns out I overestimated my apathy, but not enough to matter.
New fans?
Do we have to keep him dad?

He wouldn’t know class if it popped him in the helmet, knocked it off, caused a fumble and made his head bleed.

you don’t want him
Eagle fans bring down any fanbase…
Talking about my lack of class for my remark strikes me as the pot calling the kettle black.
It turns out I overestimated my apathy, but not enough to matter.
Before I clicked on your name
I thought I was getting that from a Jets fan. I introduced myself on this blog and someone threw it in my face. I just about finished with the blog as soon as I started, then I clicked the link and found out why I got such a warm welcome. If you don’t realize that you were being rude, you have no grounds to judge anyone.
It turns out I overestimated my apathy, but not enough to matter.
Aren't you the one that "introduced" yourself by proclaiming your hate for the Giants?
on a blog that has nothing to do with my team, with no reason to bring it up? and you’re calling me rude?
i’ve seen you on BGN einman. you are a good poster. this is just busting balls, this is what we(Eagles/Giants fans) do. you busted our balls, i busted yours back. you know the rules, this is what arch enemies do. don’t get upset it’s all in fun, i don’t hate you. just your team.
just so no one gets it twisted, i do root for, and thoroughly enjoy the Jets. that’s why i’m a member at GGN. i’m born and raised in NY, so i get down for any team with the NY on the cap. but i bleed BLUE all the way.
IMPEACH DOLAN!!!!
I brought it up
because I was under the impression that Giants and Jets fans are not exactly on the best of terms. Is that wrong?
And yeah, it’s all in good fun. I’m not in BBV and you’re not on BGN, so I would hope that there are no serious grenades lobbed on neutral ground.
It turns out I overestimated my apathy, but not enough to matter.
my best friend in the world is a bird fan
so i can overlook that flaw if your a good person. hehehehe
IMPEACH DOLAN!!!!
Friends again?
No matter which side you chose, think we can all agree that today is a happy day in GGN. For all the bickering that went on for weeks, time to put it all behind us and start talking about the Ravens coming to town next week! I’m still really confused about this contract, though, from Revis perspective. 4 years, 47 mil is less than 12mil/year, but all reports were that he was looking for 16mil/year. What happened? Maybe the high guaranteed number combined with the potential of a lockout sealed the deal? Hoping that they are still able to re-sign TRich and Coles after Week 1.
This stuff always happens right after I go to sleep.

Can you go to sleep as soon as the Ravens game is over so I can see that Coles and TRich have been resigned?

Great Way to wake up
This is huge for us at the perfect time Besides the obvious that Revis is back where he should be His presence is just going to lift the whole team immensely. I think it gives the defense a ton more confidence and has Sanchez feeling less pressured on offense cause he knows the defense is that damn good All the free agents that signed and all the players who bought into the system bought into a team of Rex and Revis and now we finally have it It go time Lets do this and prove to everyone we are super bowl contenders I feel much much better about monday night
I FEEL LIKE IM ON 6 RED BULLS AND 10 COFFEES
I got the giggles! Im a very happy boy.

Ravens fan here
Congratulations on getting Revis signed. I have mixed emotions about it. Part of me wanted to face you guy’s without Revis, part of me wanted him to be present for the game a week from so there are no excuses. Revis is a prolific player. At the end of the day though, I want the best players on the field. I have some questions.
1. Any concern about Revis not being in “football shape”?
2.Will Revis be able take Anquan Boldin out of our offense?
3. Can the “Sanchize” demonstrate enough command of the Jets offense (he’s looked shaky) to put points on the board and sustain drives?
4. Any concerns about the vacuum of leadership in the locker room and on the field.
1. Yes, but Revis in non-football shape is better than the alternative of a rookie corner making his first start against the Ravens.
2. We’ll see. I hope so. :-)
3. This team relies on the run and a tough D, so if the O-line does it’s job I think Sanchez will be okay…but that may just be wishful thinking.
4. Yes, but I expect TRich and/or Coles to be re-signed after week 1.
I feel the same way about Ed Reed. Kind of glad he is out, but would like to see what the Jets can do against the Ravens at full strength. Should be a great game.
by BWJ on Sep 6, 2010 8:23 AM EDT up reply actions
1. No he has been practicing and keeping in shape the whole time he was out, a week is plenty of time for him to be game ready.
2. Absolutely, is that even a question
3. Yes, although that certainly is the biggest question mark. Can he yes, will he different story.
4. Not really its a bit over rated, you still have LT, and both Mangold and Brick are ready to step up, also Holmes has been a huge addition in that regard, although he wont be in game till week 5 he still at practice.
4 Yes answers
But I expect T-rich to be back as well.
Wow. It's over?
God this dream seems so real. I can feel the keys under my fingers and everything. A 4-year deal with Gs in the 30’s? Noooooo. You mean I can actually stop talking about trading this guy? Someone wake me up. For real, come-on stop playing with me guys.

Revis caved/came back to reality
Looks like 11.5m/yr over 4 years. That’s no where near Asomugha’s 15m+/yr. Clearly, the Jets held strong and Revis backed off his ridiculous demands. This is the fair deal the Jets were looking for all along.
Wait, hold on
All of this BS talk and revis’ new contract doesnt even make him the highest paid Jet on the team? Am I the only one who sees something wrong with these numbers?
Yeah, I’m a little confused by this, too. I guess it really did come down more to the guaranteed money than the overall contract, and since we never really saw any guaranteed numbers, hard to say how far apart they were on that front.
I think it was a compromise, although it looks like Revis did more of the compromising. I really don’t think he needed to hold out to get this deal.
You're still drunk.

Revis money does affect the team
Revis is obviously a great player and I am really happy he is back but the holdout left a real bad taste in my mouth. For all those that said Revis’ contract didn’t affect any anybody else on the team, look at tough unpopular moves (Coles, T-Rich, etc.) that they had to make to make sure they had the guaranteed money for Mr. Revis.
YEESSSSSSS
finally its over. this helps us in ways unimaginable. now we can have wilson return punts, and our defense in once again in shutdown mode. ALL HAIL REVIS CHRIST
Congrats on getting back the 2nd best corner in the league.
No, but seriously, in my eyes you guys just went from 7-9 to contender. I may be in the minority here, but I wanted Revis back so you guys would have no excuses when we beat you, lol. It’s going to be a real interesting year in the AFC East and a dog fight for sure.
right and you guys just went from a possible 9-7 to a definite 7-9

Seems like you spend more time here than with your fellow Fins fans
I have to love Fins fans, one lucky smoke and mirrors season in 08 has them always talking crow. Give up your obsession with the Jets and go and try to fill your empty stadium.
I assure you I spend more time over there.
I just like to see what’s going on in these parts every now and then. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer and all that. Its nice to try and have a healthy debate every once in a while, although I must admit, this may have taken a turn in the wrong direction. I apologize if it seems like I may be trolling; in all honesty this is how I talk to my friends that happen to be Jets fans.
Funny that you mention one lucky season though, because that back-in to the playoffs last year and subsequent playoff run may have been the luckiest thing I have seen in all my years of watching sports. Even luckier than when my Marlins beat your Yankees in 2003.
Ha, "your" Marlins?
I’m sure you are one of the 50 fans that attend games. Yeah, the Jets were lucky to back in last year, but at least they made some noise in the playoffs, unlike the one and done 2008 Dolphins.
Tanny said they were even exploring trade options as late as yesterday on espn.
It seems a trade was actually a possibility. Im wonder what teams tanny was on the phone with? I wonder if they found that Revis’ value was too low to move him. But is there a chance that Rex Tanny and Woody staged a lil show here. What if Tanny agreed to be the bad guy and start trade talks. Rex and Woody go to Revis to play good cop and say, “Kid, Mike is trying to trade you. He’s got takers.” Mabye Darrell has a moment of weakness, questions his agents, and takes the most guaranteed money he can get.
He really did not get the kind of money and years he was suspected to want. He did not get Aso money at all. What really happened here?
by colinyoung on Sep 6, 2010 10:34 AM EDT reply actions
No, no, I took that to mean..
they were exploring trades for another CB as insurance, not to deal Revis.
Yeah Judge you got it right
Tanny was being his usual diligent self, exploring options on other teams… I was figuring someone like Bodden or Springs from the Pats, or one of those other dudes…
Bodden just had season ending surgery. He's been on IR for about 7 or 8 days.
Springs was an option. And I almost like that idea as a last option. Springs did alot of things to piss off the Pats however, a malcontent and a bit of a jackass in practice. He might of fit really well here actually. lol

His quote,
“We just kept looking at things today, and finaly we kicked around enough ideas that we found a landing spot that was good for both sides. Every move , I kept going back to Rex, he was like, This guy won’t be here, whats the best way to move forward? Including looking at some trades over the weekend. to finaly get a landing spot. I think its just a testament to both sides that you know , he wanted to be here and we wanted to get something done. I dont think anybody wanted it to take as long as it did, but it did…
Can’t that extremely vague comment be taken either way? Or has it just become your recent mission to tell me how wrong my thoughts and contributions are? Im guessing on the ladder.
If your saying that this FO didnt at least kick around the idea of moving this guy then imo they did not do their “due dilligence”. I may not agree with Mike T all the time but at least I realize this guy is smart enough to explore all options.
by colinyoung on Sep 6, 2010 11:30 AM EDT up reply actions
No Colin, I think your thoughts and contributions are invaluable here. You’re jut comfortable with talking about a reality most Jet fans would hate to face (trading Revis) lol but yes THAT comment can be taken either way. However, this quote from the AP article states it clear cut. And that’s all I have to say about that. =-)
But, the deal with Revis was by far the biggest news, especially because Tannenbaum acknowledged he wasn’t sure it would ever happen. He said the Jets even looked into trades over the weekend for other cornerbacks.
Next question is who will be cut...
odds are its Brian Jackson, but I really hope its Coleman, give Jackson the shot he can’t be any worse.
Itll b jackson
Coleman cant get cut hes guarrenteed he restructued his deal this summer…meaning he might be blowing coverage all year
