Signed a five-year, $70 million contract. The deal contains $39 million guaranteed, including a $2 million signing bonus. 2015: $16 million, 2016: $17 million, 2017: $13 million (+ $2 million roster bonus), 2018-2019: $10 million (+ $1 million option bonus
If teams can get a faster receiver matched up in man coverage, teams are targeting Revis this year, something that never happened a couple of years ago. The Ravens and the Seahawks didn't shy away from Revis in the playoffs last year. I wonder if he'll make the transition to safety like Charles Woodson.
when i ll see Revis being smacked in the head, i belive that he has conussion, otherwise i think he get burned and with no safety near he could not blame safety so he blame on potential injury. Remember Jordy nelson and Revis blame Mccourty. Or with Revis words: He has a history of doing that.Interesting to watch ex-Pat Darrelle Revis looking old and getting burned and then suffering a concussion on one channel while Wes Welker was catching two passes in four targets for the Rams. Both lost. Now, both guys have to be careful to avoid recurrent head injuries.
I'm definitely rooting for Welker to stay healthy and have a good comeback. I'm bummed to see Revis in a Jets uniform, but don't want to watch him with the shadow of head injuries looming all the time.
The NFL has to stay on top of this and keep looking for ways for these players to reduce the risk of these head injuries. Keenum should have been yanked by the officials at the end of the Rams game. He was in la-la land when he got stripped to set up the Ratbirds winning FG. The concussion system needs tightening and the helmet technology has to improve.
Best of luck to both guys.
$39 million of which is fully guaranteed all in the first three years. This and the contract Miami gave Suh, and the Bills 140 million dollar defensive line, should help keep the Pat's on top of ge AFC East for a while.
Send your concern to Jeff "I'm on the Competition Committee" Fisher.
Anyone got a gif of Welker's drop just before the StL turnover?
Can't agree. While he may not be the player he once was, BB would have played to his strengths. While I agree that BB was smart not to pay him the $$ he wanted, if they could have reached a reasonable deal, I would have welcomed him back. We are going into this game tonight shaky at corner with Coleman out.The best move Bill made this off season was NOT signing Revis.
Bummed to see Revis is losing it already. Even if some want to say he showed signs of losing a step last year, he was still the best corner in the game from 2009-2012, and with us. But now hes on the wrong side of 30. I'll admit that I did not think he would regress this much, not even sure hes a top 5 corner anymore. Still one of my favorite all time players and the best since deion.
That's the ironic thing. The more desperate these other AFCE teams get in trying to catch the Patriots, the more money they recklessly throw around at 'star' free agents. And the more they recklessly spend, the less likely it is that they'll catch the Patriots

Edit: What is there to disagree with about this post?
Well, in a perfect world Mevis would have been available for another year for some figure that was not ridiculous. However in the real world that we live in he wasn't so the whole thing is completely moot.Can't agree. While he may not be the player he once was, BB would have played to his strengths.

the quote I was responding to said the best thing BB did this offseason was not resign Revis, in a thread dedicated to the fact he's lost a step. I won't tell you you can't disagree, so please don't tell me I can't disagree.Well, in a perfect world Mevis would have been available for another year for some figure that was not ridiculous.

He was not available for something even remotely reasonable. His option year cap charge was insane and the Jets were desperate to get him back. So not signing him for either of the two options was a smart move. You cant disagree with it by coming up with make believe hypoteetical scenarios. If there was a scenario avail to BB to get Mevis for a reasonable number and BB did not do it - then you would be able to disagree.
Its like saying that you disagree that he did not sign Larry Fitzgerald because if there was a way to do it cheaply he should have.
Makes no sense.
