I'm confused. Last I looked, Revis was a Patriot, employed by the Patriots with another year on his contract.
The whispers coming out of New York are that they're preparing to blow him away if he hits the market. clearly this type of talk hurts the negotiating process the Pats are in - if you're Revis, why would you begin to make an extension if there's someone out there talking like this?
In essence, Woody is forcing the Patriots to pick up the placeholder option.
How is this not tampering? This is not only tampering, but the damages being caused to a competitor are right out in the open!
