"Patriots not picking up $20 million option in Darrelle Revis' contract; now set to become free agent Tuesday."

How is this news? Lazy reporting by Schefter again?

Picking up the $20 million option wasn't expected anyway. This doesn't mean they can't work out a contract

Set to become a free agent if they do not agree to terms beforehand? That still seems like a possibility based on the way Schefter's tweet was worded...

#Patriots will continue to negotiate with Darrelle Revis despite not picking up option. They are NOT done talking. They're still working it.

This verges on misleading by Schefter....merge with "1+1=2" thread.

Does that mean he can be legal tampered with now opposed to the illegal tampering he was getting this weekend?

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

Just saw that on NFLN. So is that it? He's a goner?

Probably not until they officially decline the option, right? I assume they won't do that until the last minute. Why not keep exclusive negotiating rights?

we need to get used to the fact that Revis is going back to the Jets....that will be his landing spot - /sigh

 

[Gronkowski123]

let the fun begin!!

i can see a team like philly going all in for revis besides the jets. philly's secondary sucks besides maxwell so they need the help. they need quality free agents since they will be trading all of their draft picks for mariota. lol

 

[BradyBranch39]

We were never picking up that 2015 option. This changes nothing other than leverage.

Just like last year when there was NOWAY BB is signing Mevis he doesn't think a cornerback is worth 12+ mill all Mevis cares about is money he is a loser.

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

So now they are going to lose both Revis and Browner? Jesus

Darrelle Revis was informed he will not have his $20M option picked up, but two sides will continue to try to negotiate a deal, source said

So no deal in hand ect....have 1 day and then i think he's gone if nothing by 4 tomorrow

Hopefully it goes the same route as the McCourty talks went.

 

[Sciz]

There's not really much reason to say this unless somebody wants it to be out there. Now we wait and figure out who and why.

Why? Who did he sign with?

The #Jets have hit pause on their free agent pursuits in the event Darrelle Revis became available. At least, Revis can gauge his market.


Jets have everything on hold for him

This option was just a protection for both parts, it wasn't interesting for anyone.
