Jets to explore trading Darrelle Revis

[MoLewisrocks]

In this day in age athletes take six months off after an ACL and come back stronger than they were previously. I'm specifically talking about Arian Peterson.

Small sample and one guy who just warned people about making assumptions where RGIII was concerned as it relates to his rehab. Every case is unique. It took Brady the better part of the following season to get comfortable with his knee, and he's an imobile pocket passer. It took Welker the better part of a season to return to and ultimately surpass his previous form. Took Mankins most of this season to begin to round into form. That is because until you return to the game you're focused on rehab and unable to do all the work you would otherwise do in the offseason following surgery. Domonique Foxworth never made it back from his ACL.

Peterson was a freak of nature per his own doctor in that he had pristine knees in all other respects. Few players can make that claim coming out of college let alone after several NFL seasons.

I don't see Revis getting traded for a number of reasons:

• His trade value is at an all time low because of his ACL injury. ACL tears are not huge deals anymore, but many players are still a shell of themselves the following year. No guarantee he has a Adrian Peterson type of rebound.
• He is in the last year of his contract and he has a no franchise tag clause in his contract. That means any team acquiring him will require a long term deal to make the trade or make the trade a conditional 2014 draft pick on whether he is resigned or not. I don't know if the Jets want to get a conditional pick that could end up being a mid round pick for one of the best players in football.
• Revis wants top dollar. He isn't likely to get top dollar coming off an ACL injury meaning he is likely not be willing to do a deal with a new team until the end of the year or until they are willing to cave to demands. Being an UFA with a no franchise tag clause at the end of the 2013 season, he is likely going to want to test the free agent market if he doesn't get a blockbuster deal this offseason.
• Revis could use his injury to avoid the "no holdout" clause of his contract (Revis loses his right to be a free agent at the end of next season if he holds out) and not show up until he absolutely has to meaning he would be untradeable unless he guaranteed he would be ready for the start of camp.

Hey, I could be wrong. The Jets could be desperate to unload Revis for his cap room ($3 million) to rebuild or a team could be willing to gamble that Revis will come back 100% and trade for him and pay him what he wants (or be willing to risk losing him at the end of the season).

Wes Welker came back from his knee reasonably quickly and to great effect.

Adrian Peterson is an extraordinarily atypical basis for comparison. And he's not a cornerback. Running backs run forward and cut laterally. Corners run forward, backpedal, and must be capable of cutting in all directions at full speed. We'll see what his rehab portends, but chances are he won't be back all the way in 2013 and might never regain his old form completely.

Jets owner Woody Johnson to explore trading Darrelle Revis - CBSSports.com

Would love to get him but the Jets would never trade him in division, and especially not to the Pats.

 

[voluntarysaftey]

Revis is in the last year of his contract and due 6 million.

I would trade Mallet for him.

Pats giving up: 2 years of a backup QB. What Mallet does post rookie contract in my opinion is not that important since we either won't get to see his talent here, or if we do, he'll want a huge contract.

Pats getting: a possible shutdown cb for cheap money for a year.

Jets giving up: the opposite of what the pats are getting
Jets getting: A possible franchise qb to compete with sanchez

Would it happen? Probably not. But in my opinion its a win-win. Jets get a chance to rebuild around a new QB, we get to solidify our defense and take home a trophy.

Pats getting: a possible shutdown cb for cheap money for a year. And the ability to place the franchise tag on him a second year. Or if his injury has diminished his skills, we cut him -- maybe structure the trade such that if he doesn't play 8 games we get back a 3rd round pick from the jets.

The problem with that theory is that other teams will offer the trade contingent on signing a contract extension, so the Jets will get compensation consistent with that, not with a one year left on the contract trade.

Give them Mayo too.

I hope you're talking about the condemant.

First of all, never say never. Patriots have traded within the division.

Uh, remember that Welker guy from Miami? That was a trade. Bledsoe to Bills, was a trade.

If Jets get the highest compensation from the Patriots, and the Patriots can extend Revis, it's possible.

Maybe Jets get our #1 pick and a player? Revis gets a 4yr/36m contract...

Anything is possible. Just a matter of whether BillB wants Revis or not.

I would love to get Revis, even if it costs us not to sign Welker. A shutdown CB is a key need for the Patriots.

IMO

 

[DocHoliday]

We just don't have the $$, especially if Welker stays.

I don't think the Jets will trade with the Pats. They are not going to give the Pats one of the best players in football when they are healthy. It doesn't matter if the Pats would be willing to make the trade.

Also, the trade for Welker was to avoid the Dolphins from trying to match the offer the Pats made him or tying the trade up for a week while they decide. It was really a trade of a seventh rounder for the Dolphins to decline match the Pats' offer on Welker earlier than they could have under the rules of the CBA.

Lastly, Revis is not going to settle for a 4 year, $36 million deal. I am assuming $36 million barely cover what he wants in guaranteed money for his next deal. He got $27.5 million in guarantees in his last deal and he thought he was going to back the Jets against the wall and redo the deal after two years. His next deal will likely be his last really big one since he will be 28 before next season. He is going to look for tons of guaranteed money and an anual salary north of $10 million a year.

 

[jsull87]

Yes. Revis is far better.

28yrs old in 2013 season. If Jets trade him, they want a #1 round draft pick.

I would not mind giving up our #1.

But, Revis will probably want a 4+ year contract for at least 10m/yr.

I'd do a 4yr contract, but for 8-9m/yr. But that's me.

Talib is 27yrs old in 2013 season. He probably wants at least 7m/yr.

8-9 per? your dreaming. Revis wants to be the highest paid defender in the league. He is looking for a deal averaging 14+ per year and that my friend is just too much for me.

It would mean no resigning of Welker, Vollmer or Talib. Later it would have implications on Spikes, McCourty and even Solder.

Agreed.

We're better off watching him go somewhere hopefully out of the conference.

Well, we don't really know what Revis would accept, unless it was offered to him. Whether it is 8m/yr or 12m/yr, it will depend on BillB. If BillB wants Revis, it is possible.

I dont know why people say no way the Jets will trade him to the Patriots. We won't know till an offer is offered.

I think we all would love to have Revis. It would improve our D even more than what Talib did.

We'll have to wait and see what pans out...

It would be awful, if the Broncos get Revis AND Welker.

They don't have the cap room

 

[serifyn]

Really? I wouldn't give up anything more than a 3nd round pick for Revis. Statistically the 1st and 2rd rounds are our strongest and Revis comes in on a 1 year deal worth 6-9 million. He won't sign a contract until he hits FA unless you really do blow him away.

Hes coming off a Torn ACL, and if he busts you can kiss your chances at another ring goodbye.

I hope you don't mind jsull87. I took the liberty of editing your post.

 

[Bhelmet]

At this point, I would sign Talib over Revis. He is cheaper, has almost a year here, and he won't whine 1/2 way through his deal. As great as Revis is/was, I think he comes with too many headaches. I would not be opposed to a one year deal at $6-$7M. However, I am among those who say Revis is not coming here.

More headline grabbing "news"

They ain't trading him
