Guys... I'm a lifelong Jets fan and I live in Rochester... it's, like, Bills country up here.

For the record, I loathe the Bills.

Nice to see a friendly post!

Well... lemme know if you're ever up this way and I'll do the same next time I make it down there.

Rex Ryan has had some pretty good Defenses before he had Revis. As for me, I'm a fan of the team before ANY player.

Interesting. Wide reports over past few days that although Jets seemed like they made offers, not even one official offer was ever made. I have not seen any numbers thrown out there by the team so far, have you? What are they?

Revis is on the record, though, that he wants to be the highest paid CB in the league and we all know it means $15+M per year (Raiders' monopoly money).

Team comes first, I am with you, especially now that Jets are rich at CB position Revis or not and last week a DB elsewhere signed in the region of $10-12M per year. But I would still like to see the management throw out some numbers out there to start negotiations and to justify their position, they are losing momentum at this point and we're headed towards a trade.

The Jets/Revis thing will probably work out. Some vets just don't like training camp much and will drag a renegotiation out in order to miss some of the two a days. Not saying Revis doesn't want more money but it's possible he's playing this for as long as he can and is enjoying doing all his workouts in the air conditioning in the meantime.
As for making numbers public I don't expect to see it. At least not officially. Maybe a leak will happen but you can never judge whether the leak was deliberate by the team or just a fantasy on the writer's part.

I only mentioned that because of reports in media over the weekend that Jets have NOT made ANY official offer so far, Tannenbaum himself admitted that. And to support that, I cannot recall ANY mention of numbers so far as well, be it the Jets numbers or Revis' agent's numbers, even via rumors. I hope Jets can extend his contract and keep the guy, but if their hand is forced and he has to be traded I won't mind, I am sure they can get a pretty good replacement in return on top of 2 great CBs that were brought in during the summer (draft and trade). Who's to say that newly drafted CB won't turn out to be another Revis in the making? By all the reports I've read so far I won't be surprised one bit... But it would be great to see Revis teach the guy a few tricks, that's for sure.

I am more concerned with Sanchez, to be honest, IMO he is the weak link this year.

TheRiddick · 08-02-2010, 08:12 PM

OK, Jets finally made 2 different offers over the weekend according to the latest news today. Both were rejected by Revis.

Trade time. He's not worth $16M a year.

ujponds · 08-14-2010, 06:53 PM

My son has had enough of the Revis drama.

Haha, true. New Jersey Jets or New Jersey Giants just doesn't seem right.

Speaking of... I need to find a way to stream the Jets/Giants game tonight as I'll be at work...

Go Jets!

I don't think there's a team in the NFL that gets more grief and controversy
than the JETS.
This should continue to be interesting. Go Saints GO.

Try seeing if Channel 9 outta NYC will let you stream it. They are broadcasting the opening of the new GIANTS Stadium.

I'm willing to bet a five-pack that New York wins tonight.

All of the early lines have New York as the heavy favorite.

You have to admit, it's nice of The Jets to HOST The Giants for the first time in The Jets' new stadium.

You mean like Nnamdi getting stupid money to play on his winning team?

When Revis signed a contract 3 years ago that made him take in almost $20M over the first 2 years and then only $1M on Year 3, did Jets hold a gun to his head to do that? His stupid agents AND Revis himself were fine with the deal that would then pay him $20M more in years 4 and 5, why is all of this an issue at this point?

At this point, Revis doesn't care what team he plays on as long as he gets his money, same way his uncle destroyed his own career with Skins years ago.

timj219 · 08-16-2010, 02:54 PM

Should be an interesting game tonight. Giants may line up a defensive player or a backup OT at TE a lot tonight - they may only have one healthy TE and they do a lot of two TE sets. They shuffled a backup DE, LB and S in to the spot during practices the last few days.

Giants sure speak a lot to news media, though... Hopefully they can back it up tonight (pre-season or not).

I just want to see who plays Revis' spot, Wilson and/or Cromartie, and how well they fill in.
