The one that hasn't happened?The Butler trade has been as telegraphed as can be.
There is actually no credible evidence that the patriots are even interested in trading butler.

I'm not convinced this dude is playing this season.
Plus he gets 6 mill whether he plays or not, he only gets more money for any amount he signs for over 6 mill. So if he signs for say 7 mill here, he only makes one mill more than if he didn't play at all. So financially, he probably won't gain much (or likely any at all) if he plays.me neither. its all about effort with revis. his only good year since the Jets traded him really was 2014 with the patriots when he was motivated to win a ring. with Tampa and in his 2nd stint with the jets he stunk it up.
while he may no longer be a #1 corner. to me it is an effort issue.

Belichick generally does not sign washed up players, so I highly doubt Revis is heading this way
Albert haynesworth, chad ochocinco, and joey Galloway say hi
If he plays next year, he won't get more than 6 million, so essentially he'll play for free. So if he plays next year, money won't be the motivating factor.Plus he gets 6 mill whether he plays or not, he only gets more money for any amount he signs for over 6 mill.

Aren't there other veteran CBs more deserving of a shot at a ring?
Besides, there are many other ways to gets Rats fans to jump off a bridge.
It takes a real maniac like Brady to maintain the same level of motivation after you've won it all, been paid a ton, and been universally recognized as the best at what you do. Revis isn't quite that level of pathologically competitive, and I think that (plus nagging injuries) has been the main source of his decline.
Say everything comes to pass and things work out as many would hope they do.I trust Bill on this big time. Revis knows what to expect under Bill. Bill would give Revis a very quick boot if he didn't perform/help the team.
This is the mental masturbation part of the season so I'm envisioning Butler/Gillmore 1/2, a motivated Revis/Jones (with his head screwed on right)/Rowe 3/4/5.
With the way off season is shaping up, my greatest fear is injuries. Revis COULD be great depth.
Question: Is there any way the Pats can pay Revis without reducing the $6 mil. the Jets have to pay? ie.incentives- % of defensive snaps played, named to pro-bowl, ???
