It's easy, and only takes a few moments.They will because the option isn't due to be picked up until April 1st and barring a few other moves instead we are still over the cap, which I believe we need to be under before March 10th.
I can't imagine we're waiting until April to hear about Revis unless a Mayo restructure/paycut or Amendola paycut/cut is announced in the next 3 days.
I couldn't blame him either. But I don't know what is going on inside Revis's head. A lot of money and a winning team, or an absurd amount of money and a loser franchise. Tough to know.I wouldn't blame Revis if he left to the Jets for that ridiculous amount of mone, but he really needs to consider his legacy he can easily become the greatest CB ever helping TB12 and BB lead the Pats to hopefully another SB or two
Very un-Patriot like to leak out how confident they are with any negotiations. I call BSI will collapse with a sigh of relief if I see that news on Sunday.
That was kind of misleading, Cole said expect the Pats to make a decision on him by Sunday.
What'd he say yesterday?cole is a tool bag like we saw yesterday...take nothing he says seriously
????????
There are ZERO dollars lost in cap space by cutting Revis. The patriots would gain $20M of cap space. The $5M associated with last year's contract will hit the 2015 cap no matter what the patriot's choose to do.
To be honest, this is my first year actually paying attention during the offseason. Usually I give up on football when the Pats lose in the playoffs and only show up when i catch wind of something happening. To me, it feels like this offseason is going to be a total disaster. Lose Wilfork, lose DMac, lose Revis.. that's what it feels like to me right now. Am I way off-base?

Sort of dumb to just swallow a $5M cap hit on Revis. I mean his dead money cap hit would rank in the top 10 of the cap hits on the team all on its own. That doesn't seem like very good cap management to me.
It's a $5M cap hit this season if they cut him. That means our top cap hits would be:Why are people freaking out about that $5M? It's either considered dead money or prorated bonus, and the effect on the cap is the same either way. It doesn't make any sense that the $5M is somehow worse if he's not on the roster.
I'm implying they should have either signed him to a multi year deal either originally or over the past year, or signed him to a 1 year contract last season instead of trying to get cute with some stupid $25M second year number that did nothing but eliminate the possibility of franchising him.So are you implying that they should pick up his $20m option so they can avoid a $5m dead money cap hit? That wouldn't make sense.
Look at it this way - they paid him 10m in bonus and 2m in salary so they could have a cap charge of 7m last year and 5m this year. Suppose they just paid him 12m in salary instead so his cap charge would be 12m last year and 0m this year. From a practical perspective, what happens in that scenario is that the Pats have 5m less in carryover cap space for this year, so their adjusted cap is 5m less. But there's no dead money hit this year. It gets the team to the same exact cap position, but only without the "stigma" of having a dead money charge.
The cap is just funny accounting; don't worry about that and focus on the deal structure itself. There are examples of bad cap management, but this isn't it (unless you think Revis wasn't worth 12m to begin with).
