That's one way of thinking. Another is that they realize Revis is leaving and they'll be 20m under the cap.There is no way he's not coming back IMO, they wouldn't have locked up DMac had a Revis deal not been very close. Without a doubt Revis is almost irreplaceable because unless Sherman is out there then you don't let 24 go. I've got this tingly feeling that Mayo is going to be traded too.....
Sure they'd rather keep Revis but at what price? If they know they can't signing mccourty makes sense.
Or it could be as you say.
Doubt mayo has trade value.
