According to Breer:
According to reports, this was supposedly about the nature of the guarantees. I imagine the Pats at the very least wanted to split his salary if he landed on the IR.
You are free to base your opinion off of vague media reports. The simple truth is that the Jets overpaid for Revis and the Patriots did not.According to the reports, this is basically over a difference of $4m guaranteed, so the Patriots were quite willing to "overpay".
Chicken littles are quacking tonight
I think it's fair to blame Revis for a "paltry few million" just as easily . But his choice, his character was plain for all to see, we just didn't want to believe it.
Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski are and were more important to the Patriots than Revis. Losing Revis sucks but I trust there's a plan.Superstars make a difference. Revis was the difference between a top defense and a below-average one.
According to Breer:
Agreed. I would be a huge hypocrite if I was mad at Revis for taking more money, and especially more guaranteed money. Because we've had a number of players that I've thought we should release because I didn't think that they where worth what they where paid. Can't sit and say that I want the team to go for the money, and then get mad at player for doing the same thing.You hear it all the time. "It's a business". Because it is. This is a league where you'll be traded or cut with zero empathy from owners and GMs. Revis tore his ACL and bet on himself the last few seasons... now it's paid off. Good for him.
http://thornography.weei.com/sports/boston/2015/03/10/why-revis-is-gone/So why can the Jets do it? Because their goal isn’t to chase championships; it’s to placate their increasingly frustrated fanbase and make headlines. They were willing to blow their cap to smithereens if it meant getting Revis back so they could sell Revis Island t-shirts and distract their public from the fact they are directionless and their owner is a lucky-spermer dope. While the Patriots are trying to keep their salary cap house in order so they can stay competitive
Hey, good idea. That was so funny and witty I just might do it!
I've never seen a million dollars in my life, so I'm not really sure who the "all" here you're talking about who think a few million dollars in their pocket is no big deal.
If we matched, he was still going back to NY.Pats could and should have matched that deal. WTF is the front office thinking.
