I have liked your post.It allows me to read game threads and comments by clever people like you, so it's okay.
He doesn't have to be elite or play the entire game to be a potential asset for the team. He is willing to play for 200K because he knows he will not get over $6M, so it's irrelevant to him...the Jets will pay him the remaining amount up to $6M. In other words, Revis could play for the Patriots where NE is paying him 200k and the Jets are paying him 5.8M. That idea alone is mouth watering.
You guys really don't think he may have been injured/unmotivated and he is really worse than 4th or 5th CB in the roster? As a situational player against certain matchups, playing, say, 15-20 snaps a game, and more if he is in fact much better than he looked last year, then why not? The man is 31, not 50. I would love to see him back, at the very least for training camp. I don't think Revis is done, and he doesn't want to go out in shame. He is a proud man and one of the greatest cornerbacks the game has seen.
Where is my reasoning wrong here? Unless you are hung up on some overmagnified comments that clearly didn't bother the team or his former teamates, and frankly were about as benign as it gets to be considered a "slight." Most of it was typical journalist hype, taking a quote out of context for a great sound byte, but completely missing the tone of the whole interview, which was full of praise for TB and his experience in NE.
Steve, get over it. A New York Jet player commented despite not knowing anything - that was news to you? Roster size is 90. If no big guaranteed money is tied up, kick the tires. If nothing else it will drive Jet fans nuts.Just Say No to Revis

I agree. I don't doubt one bit That BB would sign him if he Thought Revis would be productive at a good price. BB only wants to win, nothing more or less.Feelings be damned. If he is garbage, do not sign. If he can help, sign.
I figure he's done as a player. But, BB knows best.

There are many reasons to avoid Revis. His social media statements are pretty far down on the list if you ask me.
Only thing in his belly was Shake Shack burgers apparently. He was 240 pounds last year. Very poor conditioning, why would we want an overweight corner who can't cover, and even at safety, not known as a great tackler. No thanks ! Loved Revis when he was here, but he burned bridges when he left, hoping Belichick leaves the bridges burnt.Too slow. No more fire in his belly. He is cost prohibitive.
Also, he was gloating while with Jets, that Patriots are known for cheating during the Deflategate saga.
Anyone BUT Revis!
Nuts?
It'd be like finding a barrel of cap space money! Every dollar another team pays him this year, is another dollar saved in cap space for the Jets.
I don't care where he plays, he just better play.
It wasn't just on social media though. He was interviewed by Manish Mehta of the NYDN and doubled down on the comments.
And again, as I've said in about 3 Revis threads here over the past few weeks, even though members of the staff and players may say they don't care about stuff said outside of those 4 walls of Gillette Stadium locker room, you cannot tell me they don't know about it or are aware.
I honestly feel there is not one inch of thought being given to this. We (fans/media) are probably talking about this more than they are.
I've seen folks in this thread contrast Revis's comments to guys like Mankins. TOTALLY different circumstances and feelings. Mankins NEVER accused the Pats of cheating and doing things the wrong way. In fact, I wonder if anyone can name any player who has EVER been on the team and then proceeded to slander and smear the team and it's players such as this.
Revis can GFY for all I care.
