All Things DARELLE REVIS
- Thread starter Green Jets & Ham
- Start date
Darrelle, you still have some unfinished business. Twice you were two games short. Let's get it done.
This team brings in a little help on the speed rush, and the defense may very well be stacked.

If Milliner and Pryor come around and play to their potential our defense could become a force once again.
The Secondary was an obvious weakness last year.
Ouch. That was an expensive decision, but understandable. How many people could've envisioned this scenario? Revis coming back two years later?
The good news is, a new Revis jersey has staying power: he's not going anywhere anytime soon.
True, we need a speed rushing LB, and this defense will be a shutdown one. Revis will also teach McDougle and continue to teach Milliner. On the flip side, in Boston, the Cheats might be showcasing a very curious secondary next year...
Cimini has to throw in that last remark to throw cold water on the situation, but everybody in the world knew that this was going to be the price for Darrelle Revis, and the fact that its really only a three year deal, last two years not guaranteed, is ideal because he should have three really good years left. Cimini is being his usual d**k self, but this was a good deal for the Jets for the caliber of player Revis is and considering they had to snatch him away from a hated division rival and the defending champs. I thought Revis was gonna ream us a lot worse than this.
always Mike thanks you too
As soon as the announcement was made..my son away at college bought 3 that's right 3 for 65 as the site wasn't updated yet...prob can get 80 each
I can actually live with those terms with no problem. Barring injury, Revis will continue to be an island in the next 2 "fully guaranteed" years (and in year 3 as well when he'll turn 33 yrs old) after which there are no substantial ramifications to the cap. Revis belongs in NYC despite winning that ridiculous SB in Boston.

Depending how it's structured
This is essentially a 3 year, $42,000,000 contract.
Revis is guaranteed 39 million. 33 million in the first 2 years. Any one who has observed Revis knows after he gets most of his guaranteed money, he is going to start whining. If structured correctly, he will get the remainder of his guaranteed money , 6 million, and a sweetener, 3milion for the third year. Total 9 million.
At that point we will here from Revis, "how is going to feed his kids on that" At that point the Jets can decide, based on their cap situation, level of the team, and mostly the level of Revis play, what they are going to do with him.
Right now still playing at a very high level. Maxwell, who IMO, is a second tier player, just got 10.5. Revis will be paid an average of 14 a year, for 3 years.
I'm good with that

I really appreciate how Idzik handled the cap, for that he did a great job. I just did not trust him going into this year signing free agents and selecting our picks. The thought of him involved in those aspects of the team, is scary! He wasn't prepared to be a GM.

For some reason the magic # for Revis is 16 million. That's what he accepted from the Bucs. Last year's deal with the Pats was 2 years, for 32. Even though he only got 12, the contract read 16. Ego. He is going to collect 16.5 for his first 2 years, which still makes him the highest paid. Ego.
That's one of the reasons this is really a 3 year contract.

im honestly not 100% excited about this move. There is a dirty feeling you have when Revis is on your team. He is in his 30s, still a dick, and still a guy I think you have to worry about injury. I guess the true value add for me is other than what he brings to the field, is what he brings to the meeting rooms working with these kids, cause Milliner, Skrine, mcDougle, Williams, and Pryor are still young players. if the Jets were going to sign 2 CBs, they needed 1 to be a stud to align these kids. At least we have a leader to take over one of the weakest part of our team from last year.
Yeah I know, FLG, I was a little late in figuring that out, but now I like it even more. Really there's nothing not to like about this deal. Revis is getting paid market value for an elite corner of his caliber, and its really only three years, which is ideal considering his age. He should have three good years left, so its a good deal for the Jets. Honestly I'm surprised Revis didn't hold us up for more than this, because he really had us by the kajones.Glad to see your off the ledge Ham

He turns 30 this year. The deal is more a three-year deal, so if his play drops off, you can let him go.
In the meantime, you've seriously wounded a division rival, strengthened the weakest part of your team, and though Revis is a mercenary, he's our mercenary now. And it's not that absurd money for the player and the position.
I'm not sure there is anything not to like.

This is a good point and I'll tell you why. Up until now I've only talked about how we can get out of the deal after three years at no cost, because only the first three years are guaranteed, but the last two years we have him for 11 Million Per, which is like three years with two option years at reasonable money, so in the off chance that he's still playing at a high level after three years, we can keep him at reasonable money, these are essentially team options, not player options.
