I'm sure almost no one would agree with me, but I would like to bring Revis back. If a Butler trade is happening (and it certainly seems like it is), I really like the concept of a Gilmore-Revis combo. Revis has lost a step, yeah, but he can still be pretty good if he comes back to NE and has to actually TRY, and loses some weight... He has said he's open to a position change as well, so it doesn't seem like he's being very choosy at this point in time.
Personally, I think his poor play in NY and the stories in the media this winter have embarrassed him, and he will want to re-establish his reputation. He knows the system here already, doesn't seem like any better spot to do so. Would anyone else take him back on, say, a 2 year/$15m deal with $8m guaranteed? And a team option for the second year?
I know you were joking, but if he comes out of retirement wouldn't his rights still belong to the Lions?
I don't think we'll see anymore big FA signings. I think they'll let the Butler situation play out and maybe make a couple of more smaller signings for one or two year deals. Outside of that, they'll probably roll most of that toward next year. As PFK pointed out, there are a couple of contracts that jump next season and I suspect the Pats want to have enough on hand to handle them.
Now that last point has been confusing me. I thought he only got that 6 mil if he did not sign with another team.I wrote nearly the exact same thing on the Revis thread. Revis has lost a half step but that was a lost year due to motivation and injuries. A motivated Revis, assuming he's healthy, in my opinion is still a top corner. The plays I saw him get beat on last year were either great throws or catches, or a speed burner. I thought he was still decent, just not Revis Island. In shape and I think he becomes a great deal.
If he signs for the minimum, by the way, he gets 6 million no matter what from the Jets. I don't think any teams will give him more than the minimum because he gets that salary no matter what another team gives. Of course that assumes other teams won't give him more than 6 million.
I'll take a one year 25 mill extension as the board's independent investigator.

Also includes MB's #3.9... will probably restructure Amendola, so that will bring it back up to over $30 Million.. that is a lot of cash to spend.
That is a lot of money to spend on this year's edition of your New England Patriots.. be curious to see what they have in mind.
Connor Barwin, a former binkie of the draft folks?? Jamaal Charles?? Jarred Cook?? Dontari Poe?? Johnathan Hankins?? There does not seem to be a lot left out there in terms of what this team needs.
Should they look at some some O line help, Nick Mangold?? Unidentified outside pass rusher_______...??

Reports today said Mevis would play for the vet minimum. That's a major ego check right there and I'd pounce ALL over that. Putting him on number 2 receivers? BB would once again put him in position to succeed. Plus we need all the DB help we can get with that schedule coming up.
