It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Revis is better than both of those guys and I highly doubt his play would be substantially worse at 32 years old than it was last year...He's a 29 year old corner who will be 30 before the season starts. $40 million guaranteed on a 3 year $48 million contract basically guarantees that the entire last year has to be picked up (unless his leg falls off).
Show me the 30 year old corners in this league who are getting this kind of deal.
Soon to be 27 year old Richard Sherman is getting $40 million guaranteed on 5 years $59 million
Soon to be 26 year old Joe Hayden is getting $45 million guaranteed on 6 years $72 million

Anyone find it strange that all has been quiet?
As Arrington admirers, you have explained why he was beaten repeatedly by the tall third stringer. Please tell me why they benched him when he was no longer covering that receiver. Apparently the only receivers he can cover are smurf slot receivers.
I'm going into full blown In Belichick I Trust mode until this is over.
Unless your goal is to make iapatsfan and pastrdumbazz look intelligent.....I really don't get why you are trying to make yourself out to be an unmitigated buffoon.
Seriously, you really look that unbelievably stupid.
Thanks for the advice. When I need advice from an idiot I will keep you in mind. Apparently none of his supporters can eplain why Arrington is underrated. All I know is that he can't be trusted to c over anybody in the superbowl.Unless your goal is to make iapatsfan and pastrdumbazz look intelligent.....I really don't get why you are trying to make yourself out to be an unmitigated buffoon.

The problem is that we don't have the opportunity to sign either Sherman or Hayden nor are likely to have a high enough draft choice to get a cornerback of that caliber.No, he isn't better than both of those guys and he certainly isn't worth significantly more money per year than both of these guys.
So you're telling me that if you had the choice of any of these guys, you would pick the Revis deal over the Sherman and Hayden deals?

You are correct in theory but in reality there are positions you over pay not just because they are important in their right but because they have an impact on the overall offense or defense. The positions are quarterback, right defensive end, left tackle and shutdown cornerback. Revis is the linchpin of the entire defense because he allows the Pats to play more aggressive schemes with him covering the best receiver man to man. It also permits McCourty to play center field and assist the other cornerback. In addition, the drop off to the other cornerbacks on the roster is significant. Does anybody really want Arrington as your number one cornerback. Economize elsewhere.Cap size is cap size. It can be used on other players for your team to make it better. There is a value to each position. It makes no sense to overpay for a position when it will weaken your overall team.
