It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Cole basically said that the Pats hope to have a long term deal in place before they have to pick up their option and if not they will decline the option by the deadline and Revis will be a free agent. This is major news. I am surprised all the networks aren't leading with this.
That is assuming the Jets don't go full ****** and offer him something around 20mm AAV which would not surprise me.
I'm implying they should have either signed him to a multi year deal either originally or over the past year, or signed him to a 1 year contract last season instead of trying to get cute with some stupid $25M second year number that did nothing but eliminate the possibility of franchising him.
It's a $5M cap hit this season if they cut him. That means our top cap hits would be:
1. Brady
2. Mayo
3. Gronkowski
4. Solder
5. Vollmer
6. Amendola
7. Revis dead money
I think most teams aim for the cap hits in the top 10 on their team to actually be a result of a player on their current roster.
Listen we just won the SB so I get it some things are going to get a free pass but if we didn't win the SB man this board would be tearing Belichick apart for his handling of the offseason so far. He earned the free pass though with his 4th ring so like I said I'm fine giving it to him.
Would really suck to lose him, but all that money tied up on 1 player is way too risky.
Even for NE.
Well I hope for your sake that they don't decline his option and then sign him to a new contract, because then Revis would be probably somewhere in the top three AND eighth, and I think most teams aim for their cap hits in the top 10 on their team to actually be for 10 different players.It's a $5M cap hit this season if they cut him.

Sort of dumb to just swallow a $5M cap hit on Revis. I mean his dead money cap hit would rank in the top 10 of the cap hits on the team all on its own. That doesn't seem like very good cap management to me.

But they did that specifically because Revis didn't want to be franchised. If the deal isn't structured that way, he doesn't sign it unless the Pats include a no-franchise clause in the contract. Pats didn't want to do that because they have a policy of not having those written into contracts.
Yup, plus I believe that the tampering charges were filed with the express intent of mitigating the loss of Revis should the Jets make a ridiculous offer. Should that happen, I fully expect the Pats to go after their first rounder and wouldn't be all that surprised if we got it. Losing Revis would suck, but getting a top-ten pick would certainly soften the blow especially considering that the only way this team will ever have a crack at the high level talent is through a trade or craftiness.

Schefter keeps saying Revis will pick NE or NY.
How is NY even in the discussion when Revis is still under contract?
Man this would really ****ing suck if we didn't win the SB potentially losing Dmac, Revis, Wilfork, and Vereen.
Why is it major news?
Everyone knows that NE cant afford the 25 mil cap hit on 1 player so they are working on a more palpable contract. If a deal cant be done they wont pick up the option. Whats so earth shattering?
