So … Who Could Be Available?
Here’s a few names of guys who might be on the block or who were cut that might draw interest from the Jets.
Albert Haynesworth DL – While he’s not been cut yet, there’s been more and more talk about how terrible he’s playing, and that he’s free styling in the system. Would the Jets entertain a trade?
TJ Houshmandzadeh WR – He might be fading since leaving Cincinnati, but the Jets were interested, and now he’s on the street.
Jarvis Green DL – Used to play for the Patriots and played well as a spot starter in their defense. The Jets could use another player on the defensive line, but the situation might not be what the veteran is looking for as he’d be a backup as opposed to starter.
Jarron Gilbert – He’s the guy who jumped out of the pool on YouTube last year leading up to the 2009 Draft. At 285 / 6-5 Gilbert might be an interesting line prospect. Ryan worked him out himself last year
Chris McCoy OLB – The Dolphins drafted McCoy as a conversion DE to OLB. The team doesn’t feel like he made enough progress in short order, but with some
Max Jean-Gilles G – Not really an area of need, but is Guard MJG – who’s started 16 games in his career for the Eagles – might be worth taking a look at to see if there is a spot for him on special teams.
Jeff Owens DL – Rookie from Georgia who was drafted by the Eagles in the seventh round. Is a plus run defender but might be more in the Howard Green mold (short, stocky, solid against the run, but not great pass rusher)
Tank Tyler DL – The former third round pick had a tough time sticking on his roster as a situational run-stopped, but might be a guy the Jets think the could use some help with their DL depth.
James Hardy WR – The 6-5 receiver was someone the Jets had shown serious interest in when he was drafted out of Indiana, but he’s been unable to beat out undrafted players … which has been a challenge.

While I am by no means an expert, if Tanny makes a move, I only want someone who lost out because of the numbers game. I do not want someone who was cut because they were not “driven” enough. We already have one of those on the roster…McK. With leaders like TR and LT in the backfield, how the hell is this guy not foaming at the mouth to perform???? The way our GM goes about his business, we can’t afford non productive draft picks.

Myron rolle?

I thought kelly Washington looked like a beast on ST against us other night. Not much of a receiver though. An upgrade over the clown for 1st 4 games maybe?
-
I really hope your kidding about Haynesworth . I dont want him on the team if he was cut and we picked him up on waivers . We sure as hell better not trade for him
I agree with the above. I want hungry guys not these guys looking for a money grab .

droseatwork says:
I don’t know. The thought of Haynesworth and Jenkins as our 2 DT’s makes me salivate. You could run a 3-5-5 with Devito on the line and create havoc.
Really Rex could do whatever he wants because that is at least 4 OL who will be involved in blocking Jenks and Haynesworth.
Wishful thinking I know, but something to think (drool) about!
-
Gholston, Jenkins and Haynesworth Each Taking Up 2 Blockers. I love It. Get Haynesworth Tanny!
-
-
-
Damn imagine a motivated Haynesworth at DE for the Jets, I think he would definetly play for Rex but dont want that contract
Probably could get him real cheap too
-
I know I wasnt the only one last year, there were a number of us really high on Jarron Gilbert- Wonder if Rex saw anything out of him when he worked him out predraft. Thought he would be the perfect replacement for Ellis- similar size and speed numbers- strong and can hold the point, but also quick enough to get to the quarterback. Dont know what happened to him last year, but I would take a look at him! Feel we really need another D-Lineman!
Haynesworth would be interesting- and i believe the rest of his contract is not too costly and very cuttable in a couple of years.-
JARRON GILBERT- CBSSPORTS
A closer look at the Bears’ picks: Round 3/68 — Jarron Gilbert, DL, 6-5, 288, San Jose State…Moved from end to tackle as a senior and had by far his best season, leading the nation with 22 tackles for loss and also added 9.5 sacks. WAC’s co-defensive player of the year in 2008. Started 12 games as a junior with 7.5 tackles for loss and four sacks. Had 7.5 tackles for loss and five sacks as a sophomore. Became a starter as a redshirt freshman. Has a frame to get bigger. Possesses excellent athleticism and his 4.82 40-time was the best among defensive linemen at the Scouting Combine. Also tied for the best vertical jump with a 35 1/2-inch leap. Father Daren was an offensive lineman who played four years for the Saints (1985-88) after being a second-round draft pick (38th overall).

Jets need help at the DL spot as well as perhaps a released OL to start instead of Slauson or Ducasse. The Jets have a major problem should Sanchez go down because of a miscalculation on the OL.
-
I throw Revis in the trade to Washington with Bryan Thomas and a 4th round pick for Orakpo or Carriker, Philip Buchanan and a 2nd and a 3rd.
-
Interesting- think i would prefer Revis and B. Thomas for Orakpo and Haynesworth plus a 2nd or 3rd rd pick for us. Thats if there really seems to be no luck with getting Revis back. I’m really high on Cromartie and Wilson- DL and OLB could use some help for now and the next couple of years!
-
-
Why? That makes our defense Unstoppable!
Gholston,Haynesworth,Jenkins On The Line Taking Up Multiple Blockers with Pace AND Orakpo Rushing The QB Freely. With Wilson and Cro Manned Up On The Best Two Receivers.
-
-
And Haynesworth could be had for alot cheaper…
You can have Revis and Haynesworth on the same team
With Haynesworth and Jenks on the line the can get QB pressure
-
Yeah but all together That deal comes pretty close to being equal to Revis. Besides where have you been Revis isn’t coming.
-
-
lol u guys are funnny
so ellis isnt our best de on the team by far
and revis is a too flight corner do u know how rare those guys are
have you guys seen our corners 4 the last 8 years donnie abraham aaron beasley andre dyson david barrett jus to name a few these guys cant even b mentioned in da same convo
pay the man revis-
No but it doesn’t take a Rocket Scientist to get that Revis Isn’t Budging And Neither Are We.
Also if we pay revis what he wants we’ll wind up back to where we started off this decade because we’ll slowly lose people because we can’t sign them.
-
-
Trading Revis now at the height of his value is the best thing to do. This guy is ready to sit out for the rest of the year and the next 3 years. If he comes back he will be coming back with a bad attitude. Revis’ value is done. He will never be what we saw last year. Last year was a humble guy who came and became the best. Now we have Deion Sanders ego without Deion Sanders 4.2 speed.
-
Once again Tonks- My main sentence in my proposed trade was “THAT’S IF THERE REALLY SEEMS TO BE NO LUCK WITH GETTING REVIS BACK”
u look at our needs for now and the future- DL, Pass Rushing OLB, CB depth, OL depth, Keeping our WR. This trade- gives us an Elite pass rushing OLB (which we’ve been dying to have)- Orakpo as a Rookie last year had 11 sacks! Haynesworth on our D-line with Jenkins and Pouha would be great- and he would love a fun loving coach like Rex Ryan! Our D has been playing many different formations, not just the normal 3-4 D which Haynesworth hates!
Paying Revis 16mil- means cutting Cromartie or and Edwards or Holmes.
Doing this proposed trade- saves money by not paying Revis’ his demanded 16mil/yr.- allowing the Jets to have a very good chance of Signing all our to be free agents- Holmes, Edwards, Cromartie, Harris.
Haynesworth is Ave. about 5mil/yr for the next 3 years and then u can cut him! Orakpo signed a 5yr for 15.4mil – so thats around 3mil/yr. For those 2 players, ave. combined salary is around 8mil versus revis 16mil. This Fills our major needs in next yrs draft and adds a 2nd or 3rd pick too. Be nice to have 4 picks all in the top 3rds. Next year, 1st pick CB, 2nd pick OL or DL, 3rd Pick from Redskins OL or DL- whatever we didnt pick 2nd, 4th pick Safety… not seeing too many other needs right now if we do this trade and can keep our free agents!-
And who says Orakpo doesnt hold out next year?
And we dont know if Revis is going to get 16 million a year, last time i checked their was a media blackout
-
“And who says Orakpo doesnt hold out next year?”
That can’t be a serious question. Theres no reason to debate people like you because you all say things like this for your arguments.
-
Your right about Orakpo- could see him trying to hold out after his 3rd year playing in the NFL- meaning we should still have him for 2 years on the cheap! He is entering his 2nd yr! He is what we hoped VG was going to be, but he actually produced, and has star ability all over him! 11 sacks his rookie yr- amazing!
Revis has stated he wants to be the highest paid CB- meaning around 16mil. All the Knowledgeable reports have stated the Jets offered him 12mil/yr but he wants 16mil.
-
Bent says: All these trade ideas aren’t going to happen unless the other team:
1. Is willing to pay Revis what he wants; and (more importantly)
2. Is likely to have the cap space available to do so when the cap returns.Since trading a young player like Orakpo will give rise to a big dead money cap hit that is expected to be applied in the first year of the new cap, I doubt any team is going to trade a decent player for him, unless they’re soon to be out of contract or currently not earning much, because the cost of the dead money plus Revis will mean that most teams can’t afford to fit him under the cap.

Revis can sit out and stew for all I care 30 million people out of work and we have an ingrate on our team. I hope we do strike next year and he continues to make no money. He will lose about 25 million dollars. Than in the final year of his contract trade him to Oakland for a few number 1′s only Al Davis is going to pay him insane money.
-
Mevis still has his nike commercials…let him stew and see how long nike runs those adds with him not playing…
-
how is he mevis he wants to be paid
the nfl is a business not just for gm’s to cut players but for everyone
why shoukd revis honor a contract wen the gm’s dont have to honor contracts
-
-
-
-
the last thing we need is another safety, so i’ll kindly pass on myron rolle.
-
-
that would be hilarious to watch. it would be unfair to have those two on the same line.
-
-
-
I think the Giants cut him because he is not yet back to form from his knee injury last year. He’s worth a try-out and physical, though.
-
-
-
wat r u worried about, last yr in the dolphins game faneca gave up a sack that cost us!! It Happens!!
-
-
-
If the Jets are fully satisfied with Matt Slauson’s play, then fine. If not, then Max Jean-Gilles and Justin Hartwig (moving over from center) are considerations.
-
wtf, Gilbert got cut? Get on that Tannenbaum. Also Derrick Burgess and Myron Rolle got cut if you want to put them on the list
-
Just get Revis and his agent in a room with Rex and Tanny and get this thing done. With him on board we have enough talent to win this thing.
-
The Jets screwed themselves in regards to Revis. Ryan
boosted a already inflated ego (revis) and the Jets told him they would renegotiate his contract, two big mistakes. Than you have Revis who is demanding a contract like he is in his last year of his contract and will become a unrestricted free agent. The bottom line is Revis with his huge ego and stubbornness will now sit out the season and probably demand a trade like his uncle. -
we don’t need safety help our needs lie with ol and dl depth and cb while it would be fun to watch haynesworth and Jenkins I doubt we will pick up a expensive dt that only likes to play dt if it’s in 4-3 fronts, i think it’s unanimous we pickup Gilbert but ol help and cb is a need too!

i dont want to see or hear from our bloated gm unless he’s anouncing the signing of revis
-
Haynes worth isn’t a NT, he’s one gap penetrator with tremendous size. He has qualities more like Kevin Williams.
-
It just comes down to people who know how to use him. Say you take away Pat Williams, you’ll see that Kevin Williams isn’t that great against the run as many people believe.
-
-
Jenkins can stuff the run, Haynesworth can’t. Jenkins had the tools to play NT, Haynesworth is nowhere in that category.
-
-
-
Max Jean-Gilles doesn’t appear to be going anywhere…except back to the Eagles.
“The Eagles’ trade of Stacy Andrews to the Seahawks came too late for the 6pm deadline so they had to cut Max Jean-Gilles to get themselves to the 53 man roster limit.
Since Max is a vested veteran, he does not have to clear waivers and is free to talk to other teams. However, the Eagles said that they hope to sign Max back as early as tomorrow. Eagles GM Howie Roseman said that when he told Max what they had to do that Max said he wanted to remain an Eagle. So in all likelihood he’ll be back by Monday.”

If Gilbert was anything like his scouting report, he would not be cut. He is a bust and you don’t know why

Revis is Available!!
Sign Revis!!!
The cliché “It is not just a game …it’s also business” has been used by many people and many times in this blog when it is to defend this FO moves. However, when a player acts accordingly- to the same adage -the very same people bash the player as Greedy!
On the surface, their inconsistent use of the rule may seem irrational, but it is not. According to them a “business” and a “player” may have equal bargaining rights but they do not have the same “right” of exercising their rights.
They believe that the “player” must care more about the team and less about his finances, while the “Boss” must care more about his finances and less about the team. And this dichotomy on their thinking has nothing to do with “rights” but rather of “privilege”.
For an unprivileged kid, from a poor neighborhood somewhere in Pennsylvania, 12 million a year is way too much money! So it must be greed! If Prince Charles was the CB of the Jets and had asked for more than 12million a year no one would have accused him of greed. So “greed” is defined not by the “asking price” but rather by the”asking price” in relation to your wealth and privilege.
Now, I am sure that some critics of Revis will reject my argument by asserting that Revis demands too much money given how much other players get paid. They cite the Oakland Raiders case with their CB getting 15 million a year as an anomaly; well I will give them that; but what about Mr. Dummervil? Denver’s DE/OLB Dummervil signed –just before his training camp injury- a 5 year 59 mil contract with 45 mil guaranteed. This is an 11.8mil/year and the guarantee money is 70% of the total amount. So, putting things in perspective don’t you –Jets’ Fans- think that Revis has a much larger impact as a defensive player on the field than Dummervil?
Stop bashing Revis!-
i want revis in the fold big time. But if you can get Haynesworth on the cheap
…..Ellis…Jenkins…Haynesworth
Thomas…Harris…Scott…Taylor(Pace)
Cromartie..Leonard..Pool..RevisThat can be unstoppable, you wouldnt be able to do anything against them
-
I think Pouha is better for this team than Haynesworth, who is a spoiled malcontent. He probably had a better year than Haynesworth, last season. Ellis, Pouha, and Jenkins is just fine. What we need is a pass rusher. We are all hoping that Taylor is the guy but, he didn’t show it in the pre-season. The only way we should take Haynesworth is, if we can get him for very little.
-
Imagine doing my above trade- Revis and B.Thomas for Haynesworth and Orakpo plus a 2nd or 3rd round pick coming to us.
Could do 3-4 or 4-3 and be dominant at both.
3-4
DL- Ellis or Haynesworth, Jenkins, Pouha
LB- Pace, Scott, Harris, Orakpo4-3
DL- Ellis, Haynesworth, Jenkins, Orakpo or Pace
LB- Orakpo or Pace- whoever’s not DE that series, Harris, Scott
This trade will add major depth to our team for now and the future. Remember when the Gaints one the SuperBowl there front 7 was dominant, always pressuring the QB making there no name Secondary look great!
Next year add CB in draft 1st pick- secondary of Cro, Wilson, and rookie would be great with a dominant front 7 that can get pressure on the QB with out blitzing like crazy!

Bent says:
You’re using Dumervil as an example to support Revis’ demands but his contract actually supports the Jets position.
1. Dumervil only gets 10m a year. Is Revis worth 60% more? Dumervil is an elite pass rusher (almost 20 sacks last year) and elite pass rushers generally get more than elite CBs.
2. Dumervil was out of contract and signed to a one year RFA tender and wasn’t going to hold out.
3. He accepted a deal where the first year salary was no higher than what he was due to receive anyway, but Revis wants the three years outstanding on his current frontloaded deal to be ignored and get the big money from the outset.
4. If he doesn’t recover from his current injury, they can cut him and owe him none of that “guaranteed” money, but Revis has flat refused to sign a similar deal.
5. The 30% rule and reallocation rule did not apply to Dumervil, because he was an RFA. For Revis, they restrict how his deal can be structured and prevent the Jets from paying any full guarantees unless they’re paid upfront.
6. Revis has refused to accept a deal without upfront money because he is insisting on full guarantees. Dumervil’s upfront money was zero.Overall, the front office has always made efforts to pay people what they’re worth. If Revis wants considerably more than he’s worth, the two situations cannot be compared.
-
Bent says:
I should point out the difference between your stated figure of 11.8m and mine of 10m. He actually signed a 6 year, 61.5m deal. It was merely reported as a 5/59 extension because he was already under contract for one year at 2.5m.
One other point, there are incentives to take this deal to 78m. Potentially 13m a year. However, this is the figure that should be used to calculated his percentage of guarantees, so it’s closer to 50% than 70%.
-
-
You’re using some pretty convenient positioning to defend Revis. I’m not bashing him, he has the ability to be one of the best Jet players ever and I want him playing.
But, he is under contract, a contract he held out for as a rookie. The Jets are under no obligation to pay him one dime more but they offered to redo his contract because it was good for both sides.
Aso’s contract is unreasonable. It was when Davis offered it to him and he was widely mocked and other owners were pissed at him for the very reason we are seeing right now. There is a salary cap in the NFL and it is based on the value for each position on the field. When an owner gives out a contract that is so out of whack with that system it causes havoc with other teams. Revis, and his agent, should know this and probably do but they are insisting on it being used as the benchmark anyway. That means the team, if they go along with him, will have to cut more deeply in other areas. I’m a fan of the NY Jets not the Ny Revis’, I want the team, with Revis on it, to win.
We don’t know the exact terms of what Revis has been offered so comparing it to the contract Dummervil may or may not be accurate. You can argue that the Jets are being cheap but they just gave a big deal to Brick and made Mangold the highest paid center in the league, it’s not like they aren’t paying for talent.
Both sides are going to need to compromise some to get this done. In the end, Revis will still be a fabulously wealthy young man and when his career is over nobody will ever remember if he was the highest paid CB in history. They will remember him for his actions. What he is doing now is not helping his image and that’s not the fault of the fans.
-
Bent says:
Right, the Aso deal is so ridiculous that there is no chance he’ll earn the money in the third year. So it was a 14m per year deal for just two years. His next deal won’t be much more than 10m, which is the going rate for a top corner.
When Asomugha had to play out his rookie deal first AND be franchised for a year too, I can’t see any reasonable argument for Revis being entitled to more money over a much longer period, having only played half of his frontloaded rookie deal. Especially if they’re going to guarantee over half of it, despite the fact that, by his own admission they might not want to pay him that kind of money in a few years.
-
What do you mean when you say you can’t see any reasonable argument for Revis to be entitled to more money…?
Revis is entitled because he wants it; he demands it, he won’t play without it; he wont’ compromise, etc.
Oh wait, you said “reasonable.” Never mind.

Pats cut LB Pierre Woods and WR Sam Aiken. Woods was a decent pass rusher who could fill the void left by Pace’s injury for now – same re. Aiken vis-a-vis Santonio – plus the inside info on the Pats factor.
-
bariD says:
Worth looking at Blair white rookie wr out of mich state. Had strong preseason but cut by colts.
I will also second Michael Robinson cut by the 49ers. -
I think that if the Jets add a player, it needs to be a DE/DT or a DE/LB. One guy I would love for the Jets to pick up is Jay Alford. He was supposed to have a breakout year for the Giants last year, but missed the entire season with an injury. In 2008 though, he had 2.5 sacks and 15 tackles. He is 6-3 304, and can rush the passer a bit. As a rookie, he sacked Tom Brady, to pretty much close out the Giants Super Bowl victory.
-
if hayneswoth could change is ways we wont need revis. and he will know it, and come running back.the front 7 would be really dominate .
-
Bent ….you opened your defense of this FO with
“Dumervil only gets 10m a year. Is Revis worth 60% more? Dumervil is an elite pass rusher (almost 20 sacks last year) and elite pass rushers generally get more than elite CBs”
My short answer is:
According to ESPN Dumervil gets close to 11.8m, if the Jets offer 12m, is Revis only 1.6% better ? Your argument about elite pass rushers and CB’s in this case is sallow. Revis is considered by most experts as the best DEFENSIVE player in the NFL and you can find a lot of Dumervils but not many Revises.
Moreover, even if Dumervil gets paid 10m a year , Revis for sure is worth more than 20%.Sign Revis!
-
“According to ESPN Dumervil gets close to 11.8m, if the Jets offer 12m, is Revis only 1.6% better ?”
Only reason why we offered Revis more than Dumervil is because He Demanded WAY More Than Dumervil and then Jets want him here.
You need Pass Rushers, You Dont Need CB’s that lock down Receivers.

Bent says:
1993 Dallas 12-4 + SB, SF 10-6, Atlanta 6-10 (with Deion)
1994 Dallas 12-4, SF 13-3 + SB (with Deion), Atlanta 7-9
1995 Dallas 12-4 + SB (with Deion), SF 11-5, Atlanta 9-7
Makes Deion look like a “put you over the hump” guy rather than a major difference maker. That stands to reason when teams can take you out of the game by just not throwing at you (Rex scheming/baiting aside).
-
-
-
Bent says:
Okay, you’re going to ignore the year to which Dumervil was already contractually entitled, then I can ignore the three years to which Revis is contractually entitled (at 21m). So the Jets didn’t offer a 10 year, 122m deal, they offered a 7 year, 101m extension. That’s 14.5m a year.
Also, there aren’t lots of guys like Dumervil. He led the league with 17 sacks. Only Jared Allen had more than 14. Only 5 other guys had more than 12.
Yes, Revis is great. But he’s a cornerback. Teams can take him out of the game by playing 10 v 10.
-
-
Revis should be on the trading block. Enough of this “humble” kid we drafted. Here is the list of players I would take for him:
Together with a first round pick (and maybe a 2nd):
1. Jarrod Allen DE Min
2. Adrian Peterson RB Min
3. Ashamoua DB Oak
4. Calvin Johnson WR Det
5. Justin Tuck DE NYG
6. Troy Polamalu DB Pittand there is also a slew of players I would take along with 2 1st round pics.
-
1. i think allen is overrated
2. we dont need a running back
3. the raiders will probably cut nnamdi so they dont have to pay the last year of his contract. i dont think they’ll take revis who is looking to make even more than that.
4. we dont need another receiver
5. no chance the steelers trade polamalu and give us a first round pick.
-
-
Are you guys kidding…bring in Haynesworth? In case you guys missed it hes being paid 100 million and has done NOTHING in the Redskins 3-4 D, which last time I checked we run as well. And as far as not needing Revis if Fat Albert is here is complete and utter bull. Face it we need Revis as much as he needs us.
-
nah negative we need revis more than he need us
the jets havent won a supperbowl in 41 years
im 22 lol
-
-
No way to the Haynesworth chat, we just dont need that.
I would love to see us throw revis to the NFC for an elite pass rusher but i just dont see how another team is going to give up there best defensive player (which is what all the guys were throwing out there are) so that they can pick up someone elses headache.
Does anyone else feel like if revis comes back after week 1 or 2 or sometime during the season then Rex will just sit him for a game?
-
I’m afraid of giving Revis his big money contract, then being out of GAME SHAPE, Leading to a season ending injury, possibly never being the same elite CB.

Antstiggity says:
I’m tired of checking this site every 15 minutes, Revis needs to sign already!!!
-
sometimes i leave it a few hours and then check nfl.com looking for a breaking news thing
-
I’m starting to think we should have drafted my boy outta Michigan Leon Hall….I’m also starting to think I should change my name..
-
Haha good point Paul , then he needs to get his a$$ on the field already, we got some games to win!
-
Steiny says: Cross Jeff Owens off the list. He cleared waivers and has signed with the Eagles practice squad.
-
Revis was King of the CB Hill and you don’t get that on talent alone. You need an enormous ego, self pride. So proud that the Mevis team’s line about the contract offers are parroted by grandma, “a slap in the face”. He’s too freakin proud to back down. He’s an ego casualty this year and the next 3.
Best remedy is to let him sit, doesn’t cost us anything, and no one has equal value for a trade and as we’ve seen with MacdeKnife and Vlad the imposter, draft picks are a sometime thing.
-
Zartan says:
One thing for sure, Revis will gain nothing much ,from all this. If he sits out and the Jets have to dump him, who will pay him what he wants?
-
Haynesworth and Jenkins combo would be for 1 year only. Jenx will prob retire next year, and Haynesworth is like TO..good for 1 year and then a headache.
I like the deal of Revis and Thomas or even Ellis for Orakpo, Haynesworth and Buchanon.
Orakpo can be a long term solution at OLB when Taylor retires next year, and Cromartie and Wilson may be better than Revis and Sheppard or Revis and Lowery (agreed?). We need pass rushing (youth). Gholston can replace Ellis at DE and Thomas can move to a reserve player.
-
The Jets created this issue with Revis. Tehy promised him more money and Rex said he was the best D player in football. He took that as he would get paid as the highest CB in football. Now they created a monster. It will ultimately force them to trade him.
-
there is definitely some truth to that…Rex can learn some lessons by watching the “Honeymooners” from Ralph Kramden…”I have a big mouth”..:)
-
-
If money was the only obstacle 31 teams would be willing to sign Revis in a heartbeat.
Only delusional fanatics and Woody Johnson can believe that this team can afford to be without Revis.-
Bent says:
Now, I never said they can afford to be without him, just that his demands, if correctly reported, are nowehere near in line with current contract levels around the league. As for surviving without him, we’ll see how that goes.
I’d gladly trade one superbowl for five years of mediocrity, but unfortunately Revis does not guarantee the Jets a Superbowl this year. Overspending in the salary cap era does practically guarantee you’re headed for a period of mediocrity (or worse) though, so the decision isn’t as straightforward as it seems.

Revis is a special player who most likely will end up in the Hall of Fame with the Class of the Immortals, the Lawrence Taylors, The Deion Sanders, The Walter Paytons, The Joe Montanas…
Woody , Pay the guy and let’s start the season!

Haynesworth not worth touching. He doesn’t want to play in a 3-4. So why.bother. so who knows what he wants bad attitude bad idea
Tim Shaw and Kelly Washington would be good additions to special teams.
