Cousins.
What are your thoughts here?
Ben Volin makes sense of a Revis possible trade. The Bucs have CAP but maybe holes from other positions need to be filled. I read through this and agreed that one player is not what they need. And Tampa 2 defense does not suit the Revis brand.
I think he costs a player and a pick but the Bucs lose a third round pick (rather than a fourth) if he stays and a signing bonus due the 13th.
"Patriots could decide to turn $10 million of Revis’s $13 million into bonus money, which would be spread over the final five years of his deal at $2 million per season.
That would put Revis’s 2014 salary cap number at $8 million — $3 million in base salary, $2 million bonus proration, $1.5 million roster bonus and $1.5 million workout bonus — which the Patriots easily could handle. The Patriots currently sit with $12.7 million in cap space for 2014, and can create an extra $9.2 million by cutting Dan Connolly, Isaac Sopoaga, Tommy Kelly, Adrian Wilson, and Jake Bequette. They can create even more space by giving contract extensions to Vince Wilfork, Devin McCourty, and Stephen Gostkowski."
It sucks but I would give the Bucs our second rounder (and hope we can get a pick from Mallett or Ridley trades) and we might have to give back a CB or Safety or a DE. We can dream Tavon Wilson, Bequett or even Buccannon, (they also need a slot WR badly......Amendola?) but they might want Logan Ryan according to Voiln. I am O.K. with that but know we need another CB in the Draft or....................
How about Brandon Browner? We lose him for the first four games but he is one of the top CBs in the league. He would come on a show me one year deal. CB Talib had issues. We took him. CB Dennard had issues and we took him. Even supposedly Mallett.
I was reading the Eagles are not a fit in 3-4 for Vinnie Curry. He had 4 sacks and 22 QB hurries in 2013 in a limited role. They are listening. We need a rotation DE and he is only 25. He is cheap in 2014 but costs a pick. Would you trade for him? He is 6'3" and 270lbs and some sack skills. Johnson, Bennett and Allen et.al will cost us in CAP.
We lose Talib but those three above make us better in 2014. Now get the injured guys back and a decent Draft for depth. Because the Draft has this depth, move Mallett and Ridley for picks.
I do not trust Dobson, Boyce or Thompkins. One might wind up to be O.K. The rest will fade. You need Edelman but not at $5mm per year. They still need a front line WR.
Sidney Rice is another who might come cheap and he is border line elite when healthy. A one year prove it?
If not another must have if he gets his head right is Jags WR Justin Blackmon who is only 25. His 2014 salary price is cheap. It is a gamble as is Browner.
We don't need a rehab facility here but we have had luck. Again the Jags need more players than Blackmon like a QB and a RB.........
