Darrelle Revis Rumors and Speculation

patsfan-1982 · Mar 12, 2014

Revis is making 14 million a year the pats are not going to pay anyone the same money Brady is making, even at 10 million the pats wont trade for him, the pats should push hard after Alex Mack and one of the pass rushers get better up front on both side of the ball

I could be wrong but I have a hard time believing the Pats wont pay him 10 mil a year.

Having Dennard and Ryan as your top 2CBs would mean a secondary that got worse compared to last year. Need a #1 thats physical.

So "all in" that the Pats aren't even going to have a backup QB!

My backup QB is drafting AJ Mccarron in the 6th or 5th if they move into that round via trade. I just didn't bother posting draft picks past the 4th round.

He's getting cut tomorrow no matter what if a trade doesn't get worked out because the 4th round pick they owe the Jets will become a 3rd round pick if he's on the roster at 4:00.

According to him, it's happening. My quote of him was word for word what he said. Went back on the DVR a couple times to make sure I didn't miss anything/take it out of context.

Now whether he has any clue what he's talking about...we'll see. But he definitely said Revis is visiting NE.

Dude. Record your DVR and post it up

Revis doesn't negotiate his own contract, period. If he actually is coming up here it could only be for a physical ...... if so, he may want to be part of a press conference up here as well.

I am very hopeful that the report is correct.

So Talib got 6 years $57 million.

Revis is currently under contract for 5 years $80 million and the team can convert as much of the $80 million into guaranteed bonus as they want. If you convert $10 million of it to bonus, the first year cap hit would be $8 million.

He'd still be making $16M a year, and that's too much regardless of when it hits the cap.

It seems restructuring has turned into a "get out of contract free card" among fans. It's not. It's for the players that are worth the cash, but the team just needs cap room. This isn't that. Revis isn't worth the cash. No matter how you restructure, it's still $16M cash per season.

Now if he were to go against all of his history and take a straight pay cut or be released and sign for less money, then maybe. At $16M though, he's just not worth it no matter how you divvy up the cap hit.

I agree no matter what this team isnt going to pay him 16m a year. Putting everything is perspective and if the reports are true that hes visiting NE, I have to believe they talked before a visit was scheduled about numbers and have agreed on a restructured contract. Now, this is all based off of Clayton saying he is visiting NE and Schefter reporting he will be with a new team tomorrow.

It is very possible the Pats are looking to trade for Revis. It shouldn't be overlooked that the loss of Talib will likely lead to a third round compensation pick. By trading for Revis' big contract, he would not serve to offset the Talib loss in free agency. Is this correct?

Re: Dear, Revis:

Hard to blame Patriots for losing Aqib Talib - ESPN Boston

If the Broncos’ aggressive approach produces a Super Bowl championship in 2014 and then a steep drop-off in future years because this type of approach is hard to sustain, the locals in Denver probably won’t mind one bit. In fact, it’s what some in New England have been calling for the Patriots do as quarterback Tom Brady’s “window” gets shorter and shorter.

But the Patriots don’t believe in that, in part because of the high injury rate in football, as owner Robert Kraft explained at the Super Bowl.

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

Re: Dear, Revis:

If the Bucs cut him how much is worth it that doesn't constitute selling our soul? 11M? The guy is a phenomenal cornerback. Best in the league since Sanders? And on top of all the practical reasons to take him...

Re: Dear, Revis:

I really, really want Revis in a Patriots uniform. Revis in a Patriot uniform would make it easy for me to say farewell to Wilfork who will be missed.

We land Revis for 12M a year and suddenly Denver doesn't look so smart.

More over, Revis abusing Geno Smith with pick sixes next year will be the best thing since Thanksgiving 2012.

Bill hasn't let us enjoy Free Agency since Moss!

Re: Dear, Revis:

There are only a few non qb players that are worth breaking the bank for, and Revis is one of them.

I don't think he's worth $18m, but if he's asking for anything around the $12-14m a year range, I'd lock him up right now. He's came back from an injury, and he's shown despite playing in a system that doesn't fit his game, he's still a monster. When he's on, the left side of the field is basically off limits. QB's don't throw to him. That's a huge advantage for the defense.

I really liked Talib, and it sucks he's in Denver, but he's not Revis.
