And it's not about being able to, barely, fit him in under the cap this year. It would significantly hamper our ability to make any significant roster moves for the next two years. It's the same kind of short term thinking that some of us have been killing Tannenbaum for.


Our team is going to improve by drafting players that most of us have never heard of.

It is not in the best interest of the team to add another $8+M/yr cap charge to the roster.
Yeah you are right, I forgot about the front loading/signing bonus cap hit with Revis. If the Jets could trade him without taking the hit I'd be all for it though. The money he's going to want is going to be insane for a CB
