It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The simple fact of the matter is that $16 million a year over the next three years is out of line with the top of the CB market, which had been firmly set at $14 million a year. The Jets average cap number for their new CB is $16 million a year for 2015, 2016, 2017. That's stupid. They were bidding against themselves. Nobody else was going there.
The league's best CB is getting paid as the league's best CB. One would expect such a player to make more than the players below him, if the deals were signed at the same time. In this case, it's a deal signed a year later, with a cap that had jumped $10 million dollars in that time. Most expected Revis' deal would come in above the $14m, many expected it would be about $16m, and even the guaranteed money was in line with what was being discussed prior to his signing.
Bashing the Revis deal is just sour grapes.
Here is the bottom line:
Tarell Brown sucks and was is the past tense of is.
Or, as the multiple reports suggested, he may have preferred staying here with the chance to win another SB--as long as the money was similar.
Unfortunately for us, we'll never really know, but it doesn't seem as though the money the Jets were offering was similar to what N.England was offering. If it had, it may have been a different story.
Tarell Brown has no interceptions in the last two seasons while passes defensed have dropped from 14 to 10 to 4 in successive seasons.This is really a great post, on a few levels. Here is why:
1. Every single player that we sign is going to be based on production that is past tense. Darrelle Revis WAS great last year. Tom Brady WAS great last year. That's an incredibly incoherent and irrelevant thing to bring up, let alone as a stand alone post.
2. I spent at least 30 more seconds on Google than you did quoting stats from a Rotoworld blurb and found this:

Now, this article is from August 2013. It's possible his skills have completely atrophied in that 18 month period, but it's also possible that he got lowballed by San Fran and spent a year in football purgatory, and that he still has the skills to contribute.
3. I'll put my faith in the greatest coach in NFL history to decide if his skills are gone or if he can still play, I'll put that faith in said coach knowing that the player in question will not come close to breaking the bank, and I'll also say that there is no risk involved in working the player out and seeing if he still has the relevant skills to help the best team in football.
4. Rotoworld. Honestly. I mean, goodness.
I'm not here to flame anyone ATippett, I'm just confounded that you'd cite that site instead of doing the slightest modicum of digging. I never said any of the players being worked out are Deion Sanders or Ty Law or Darrelle Revis, but it just appears that you are whining. Whining, while the team that is the best in football is getting back to the business of being a football team.
We don't know the truth for certain, but reports say otherwise.
2012 his best year he had two intimidating safeties playing next to him with a elite pass rusher who had 20 sacks on the #3 defense in the NFL the next year they lose a safety and Aldon Smith numbers drop and browns pass def and INT's went down and tackles went up because he was giving up plays,This is really a great post, on a few levels.

I don't think there's much doubt we'll be taking at least one CB by the end our run of picks ending at 4.2. Mocks have a fairly wide disparity of who will be there at 1.32 but at some point we have to take one.I hope they look at every available cornerback in the league and draft any that are available and worth it.

I hope that Dennard can rebound. Don't know if he was that bad at practice or if his lack of ST cost him in what was a deep position. He didn't look half bad in 2013. I still can't imagine going in with Butler, Dennard and Ryan as our only legit guys (with Arrington inside), though. Something will change, whether it's a trade, a draft pick or maybe they like one of these vets.
Brown: below average starting CB
Fletcher: awful starting CB
McClain: nothing special depth CB
I'm a fan of our current CBs more than any of them.
