Darrelle Revis Rumors and Speculation

[ensoul]

My speculation is that he goes to the highest bidder and the highest bidder won't be the pats.

Re: Darrelle Revis Available

I think that would be a legitimate reason for the forum to "blow up" no? Denver will have drastically improved their defense and their offense will still be a force. Meanwhile we lost our top CB (to Denver no less) and we still don't have our top receiver under contract. There isn't much else out there that we can get should Allen and Ware be scooped up. As far as improving through the draft, we've seen this team fail miserably over the years at trying to do so.

So yes, signing Revis has become a necessity. Even if we get him though, we have still lost ground to Denver. A team that manhandled us in the playoffs.

First our top receiver from last year proved that the position he was in is a revolving door. As long as you are healthy and can catch a football, the slot receiver of the patriots is going to break 1k yards and 100 catches. I love Minitron, but if he gets a huge contract someplace else its not going to be hard to get another slot receiver to plug into his spot. the bigger issues last year was that we had nobody else with experience on the roster, this year we will have 3 guys who saw a lot of time(thompkins, dobson, amendola)

Second if this team has "Failed miserably" so often, how has the team been to 3 straight afccg's? how does this team have the highest win % of any team in the last 10 years?

My speculation is we go from Tony Romo to Tom Brady at CB1 in four hours.

Re: Darrelle Revis Available

Agreed, we kind of have to sign Revis. It sucks that Denver just got a lot better, if they get Ware, they could have a dominant D-Line and not too mention the impact that Talib can have on a game. Revis would give BB a weapon to play on defense.

While Ward and Talib were good signings, I think you dramatically overestimate what Ware brings to the table at this point.

The last time BB Tom Brady and Patriots won a SB they actually had what's called a Defense. They get a Darrelle Revis happy days on Defense are here again. If they can get him they should try to pull out all the stops you dont get a chance to get a player of his caliber everyday. If that means cutting a Vince Wilfork or somebody else you can replace you make this move all the time.

agreed. you are acquiring one of the best CB's ever....not always a chance you can get that player for a 5th rounder. or even get to free agency.

I would think/hope belicheck/Kraft realise this isnt your normal FA...back that truck up guys!

Re: Darrelle Revis Available

well the so called "NFL Insiders" seem to think there is a chance..maybe they believe in santa claus as well

its also the job of these so-called "insiders" to keep stories fresh for us and the general public in order to sustain and justify their jobs

You are holding that one off year against Ware you are truly clueless.:snob: Look at his career stats again.

It's not one off year, and it's not based off stats. Thanks for trying and failing once again, though.

Career stats...awesome...but those will not reflect the type of #s he will put up this year

I think he's going to return to All-Pro form this year, personally.

Actually they will, if healthy he'll get double digit sacks this year.

But if the Patriots were to sign him it would be one of the Greatest signings ever...yeah right jack.:spygate:

If Revis comes here, one way or another he will be the highest-paid CB in the game, either on his current deal or a new deal.

“I don’t ever believe in selling your soul for a bowl of [porridge],” Kraft said recently on 98.5 The Sports Hub.

Hard to blame Patriots for losing Aqib Talib - ESPN Boston

Conclusion: Revis is unlikely to sign with NE. There is no other CB available as good as the one we lost. We will be less talented at CB.

We all do. It will dramatically change how we play defense because we know he can play on an island with one eye closed, hopping along on one leg. If he does come here, look for us to gamble a lot more up front on blitz schemes.

It's just a question of his contract and how to make that fit in here.

Let me put it another way. I truly believe Belichick is the best coach of all-time. He will soon become the all-time leader in wins. I believe he already holds the record for most playoff wins as a head coach. He has 3 SB rings and a million AFCCG appearances. But I also believe he is a below average to average GM. So you ask why the Pats have been as successful as they have over the last 10 years? Because the best coach & QB in NFL history masks a lot of the deficiencies with the rest of the team.

I have no doubt this team will win the division, make the playoffs, and win a game in the postseason. But without an extraordinary amount of luck, they are not beating Denver and they certainly are not winning a SB. Unless they figure out a way to drastically improve the team by signing Revis and filling other needs through FA or trades. But right now I do not see that happening.

How can you draw that conclusion from Kraft's words?

Revis is filet mignon, not a bowl of porridge.

Who is the highest paid corner right now? I think over 11 would make him highest paid. I feel like he can be had for 12mill. If he does come here, I doubt he's here for more than 3 seasons before he tries to get more cash. But, it'd still be worth it.
