I want to pretend for a minute that the Jets would trade Revis here..
The financial and compensation implications of such a trade would breakdown to these options.
Option A: Trade for Revis and sign him to a contract of likely $15M per. Let Talib and Welker walk because of salary cap restrictions. Also likely lose at least our 1st round draft pick for 2013.
Option B: Retain Welker, Talib and our 1st round draft pick.
It's really comes down to do you want to have a total of 3 players or Revis?
I do believe the Jets are looking at least a 3+ year rebuilding process so they'd trade Revis to us if we had the best package to offer. Which we might if they view Mallett as a franchise QB which some GM's have been rumored too.
