It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Well it turned out to be $39m though, not $40, so no tampering!What I find interesting is the numbers we heard the last two days ($40M Guaranteed) $48M for 3 years is essentially what he got from NY. They added two years to help spread out the bonus for the cap hit. Those numbers were reported while he was under contract to the Patriots.
But we have been to 9 AFC Championships, 6 SB's and won 4 titles.Let's be honest. EVERYONE tampers. Revis isn't gone because the Jets tampered. Revis is gone because the Patriots refused to guarantee big money for a HOF corner. Sickening how we go through this every single freakin' year. The core foundation of this team is never stable.
He's not wearing a watch. I wonder if he removed it.I have a question for you guys, what time do you think this was taken? Sunset now is about 5-5:30ish. It is bright outside. How long does it take to negotiate a contract with all the numbers and have it signed. Including Revis already being in New York?
The most disappointing thing about this thread is the timing. Seriously, where was this thread when the tampering first occurred? I've been demanding a 1st round draft swap since day one. Now that Revis is gone we see this thread? Shameful! Absolutely Shameful! Now that Revis is with the Jets I want a 1st round draft swap this season, and a 1st round draft swap next season.
Don't underestimate this. However "innocent" it seemed, it sent a message to the Revis camp that they were interested in bringing him back. It can reasonably be assumed that Revis's agent soft-pedaled talks with the Pats until he could hear what the Jets might offer. The tampering was obvious.I think the harmless statement by the Jets owner didn’t effect much
This is not a BB move. This is the Kraft's. No doubt in my mind that BB is pissed off right now. Darrelle Revis is a game changing defensive player. You pay top dollar for game changing HOF caliber players who play critical positions.But we have been to 9 AFC Championships, 6 SB's and won 4 titles.
We have done this through fiscal discipline. You may not like it at this time each year, but it is what creates our continued success.
Revis was a hell of a player but put him in the Bledsoe, Milloy, Law, McGinist, Branch, Mankins, Samuel, Moss category of no one man puts us in cap pergatory.
For 15 years of my 22 year season tickets I have seen one big game after another every year. The other seven I rooted for 1st downs. I'll trust BB
The Pats were actually compensated pretty well for that.Where was everyone in 1996/97 Patriots are going to the Super Bowl and the headlines read Parcells going to the Jets. I was shocked at the time how blatant it all was, and the Jets had so little shame that they didn't even try to hide the tampering. The Jets have been involved in every aspect of all of the scandals aimed at the Patriots yet no one bats an eye. The NFL needs to be moved to LA and all Jets hacks removed!

Not true. Remember what was on the field vs. Philly in SB 39.Patriots have NEVER won a championship without an elite cornerback.
You can't be this dumb. Can you? You're really gonna go with the Krafty Bob ********?This is not a BB move. This is the Kraft's. No doubt in my mind that BB is pissed off right now.

The contract Revis signed (forget the 70 mil, its about the guaranteed money) was actually quite a good deal for the Jets. This would not have been a cap pergatory deal for the Patriots in any way. That's what is so maddening about it. Letting this one player walk impacts the entire D. Not only is the D-backfield weakened considerably but you'll see how exposed the lack of pass rush becomes without a great cover corner to buy them time.
Fiscal discipline is nice and should be practiced within the roster but remember one thing - Patriots have NEVER won a championship without an elite cornerback.
You're not that naive to think big ticket items don't require a Kraft seal of approval are you??You can't be this dumb. Can you? You're really gonna go with the Krafty Bob ********?
No, but I'm not stupid enough to think that Kraft would **** with a Revis deal over 4 mil in guaranteed money if Bill wanted it.You're not that naive to think big ticket items don't require a Kraft seal of approval are you??
