No one is arguing how great Revis is but that's not the issue. Revis cap busting contract demands make it problematic for the Jets to also pay for enough talent to make the whole team relevant. A shutdown corner it and of himself can't win a Lombardi. I'd rather have a decent CB surrounded by very good players than one elite and expensive CB with a bunch of ham and eggers.
Brady has repeatedly restructured his contract to free up cap space....do you see Revis doing this?
I almost never agree with a thing Chupa says except for in this thread. People actually underestimate the effect Revis has in a game. The before this last the Jets would have been 5-11 instead of 8-8 if not for him. He not only shuts down the other teams best receiver he also makes teams pay if they are foolish enough to do so.
And look at that; 9ers STILL won.
I would renegotiate Revis as soon as the new league year starts... If you can sign him to make sure he retires a Jet, I would trade Cromartie for a 2nd in this years draft. If you can't resign Revis now, you look to trade him instead. I just hate the idea of the Jets trading away a sure HOF player. However, if you can't negotiate a contract you are comfortable with, then you have no choice but to move on and try and get something for him.
Julio Jones did what now?
No question their roster is loaded. However, that was achieved by stinking for most of the past decade -- 8 years between playoff appearances. So it goes without saying that the team was picking ver high in the draft.
Redskins need major help in their secondary. They need help badly enough to nibble on the Revis idea, despite their difficult '13 position vs. the Cap.
Trade Revis & Tebow to Skins.
Jets get Cousins & late round draft pick.
Not much risk for Jets. They have no plans for Tebow and cannot afford Revis.
