Manish is good when he's in "bash the Jets" mode.

"Belichick, meanwhile, is giggling like a hyena at his Foxborough fortress for not getting taken by an old player on his last legs."

In 20-20 hindsight, Talib may have been the guy to sign. Reason not to was his "injury" prone status in January.

You just can't miss two straight AFCCGs especially when the injuries are rumored to have been pain threshhold ones and not real deliberating ones

BB liked Talib and wanted him back.

Not enough perhaps.

Not enough perhaps.

No question. Via Jason Licht, GM of TB they knew Revis was hitting the market and strung out negotiations on Talib .

Revis winning the title here is pretty ****ing funny. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Revis was great for us in 2014. Who knows how it would have worked out otherwise vis a vis the SB.

No regrets!

 

[PF_SU]

Revis in 2014 was First-Team All-Pro. He was better than Talib. That Talib's been better since Revis re-joined the Jets, no question. But in the 2014 offseason replacing Talib with Revis was the right choice.

 

[JMC00]

Just hilarious how this has become a jests fan nightmare. Revis comes to NE to get a ring and then signs a huge contract with the jests only for him to breakdown in year 2 of that deal.

So great that when jests fans in the years/decades to come are looking back fondly on Revis as one of their best players ever there is always gonna be that "but he went to your fiercest rival to get a ring"

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

BTW Talib is out again this week, bad back...

In Revis' defense, this is the same guy who said that the Jets would be in first place by the time Brady got back. I say sign Revis again after the Jets cut him this off season, let him play the guy with help over the top (Butler can cover one on one), and have him win another ring with the Pats.

The Jets are a dumpers fire!

 

[Wheelman]

So provided they cut him next season, It ended up costing the rats 23 million.

@FreeTedWilliams I was thinking the same thing about Revis after they cut him lol.

 

[The Gr8est]

This works, although when I saw the thread title I was thinking it was about Osweiler.

The point is, signing Revis instead of Talib was no more a BB "choice" than was not signing Revis last year. It is really revisionist history to credit BB for not re-signing each of them. That is not a criticism of BB.

He might be useful in that role or as a safety in a conversion project, but I doubt that he would play for anything but big bucks and the article implies that he has lost his taste for the game. Not what BB wants in a player. Besides, he has his ring. Would a second matter to him?

 

[Tuck]

The best personnel move Bill made that year was not resigning him. I wouldn't want him back in New England for any price. The guy isn't a winner and doesn't care about winning. Period.

LOL, could you imagine... having already been grossly overpaid, Revis takes a 2-year $8m deal to be "the other guy" next to Butler, McCourty helps over the top and the Pats secondary is elite...

Jesters would be jumping into the Atlantic Ocean at alarming rates.

 

[fourhour]

The NE Patriots are doing well without him. Let him suck in his own stew....

There's also the minor footnote (it would be a much bigger part of the story of the NFL gave them a severe, or even the standard punishment) that Jets had to break league rules in order to sign Revis.
