Pats will not pick up Revis option this year

[Ivan]

There's not really much reason to say this unless somebody wants it to be out there. Now we wait and figure out who and why.

What are you referring to?

 

[Froob]

So now they are going to lose both Revis and Browner? Jesus

If they don't think Revis is coming back I doubt they get rid of Browner.

Jeff Howe has you covered:

Jeff Howe @jeffphowe
Checked in on @AdamSchefter's Revis report and it sounds like a Patriots negotiating ploy. Both sides can continue negotiating til tomorrow.

 

[luuked]

Good. Would have been financial suicide to use the option.

The #Jets have hit pause on their free agent pursuits in the event Darrelle Revis became available. At least, Revis can gauge his market.


Jets have everything on hold for him

So the jets have hit pause on their pursuit of Darrelle Revis to devote all of their energy to their pursuit of Darrelle Revis?

Huh? How does this help the Pats? I would think that would be better for Revis.

Revis is the key to the defense. He makes everything else work. They have to bring him back, they could have easily lived without McCourty, Browner can only handle certain receivers. He is great when he has a Revis or a Sherman on the other side. Seattle (now that they have lost Maxwell) will certainly overpay for him. The Pats should just pay him his contract, because he is not going to come cheaper.

But the very real situation exists that next year you will have a secondary of Arrington, McCourty, Chung, and Dennard. Even Geno can kill that secondary!

No, there's no such possibility. If Revis left, Browner's definitely not going anywhere. As it stands, the Browner report is largely about them wanting to extend him and change the parameters of his deal rather than release him.

For those who feel that Revis would have been angered by the Patriots picking up his option it is a move of goodwill toward Revis.

Pats probably found out that revis was using year 2 as a basis for negotiation with other teams.

Patriots free agency:

it starts by cutting Wilfork, then not tagging DMac

Then the revis option

 

[PatsFan2]

Hate to say it but the reality is Revis knows this is his last chance to get a Mega Contract if he choses the going nowhere Jets he's all about the $$$$. That said I still would have come to terms with Revis before I considered McCourty. A Great CB is better than a good Safety anyday of the week. Is there any CB worth taking in the First?

Relax

Mcourty is staying.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Relax

Mcourty is staying.

I rather have either one of them before McCourty!

 

[Triumph]

A bidding war with the Jets.

We know how this turns out.

 

[Jackson 2]

I think the Pats and Revised already have an agreement in principle Just my take.

Their hand i think was forced with mccourty as he called to say he was taking another offer

 

[Froob]

lol so now Browner>McCourty?

 

[kennyb]

Revis is staying. Deus said so.
