Revis Island to be annexed to Foxboro?

[southshoresoxfan]

5/60 30 guarenteed? Just north of talib

 

[DaughtersofDougMirabelli]

 
He has to do this to make his team better in a passing league. You don't get any where without a top flight corner back.

 
Teams that have won a Super Bowl in the past 8 years without a top flight cornerback:
 
Ravens, Giants, Saints, Steelers, Giants, Steelers

 

[H78]

What a fucking terrible trade for Tampa. The 13th overall pick and a 4th rounder for 1 year of Revis?

 
For 1 year of Revis...in zone coverage. :buddy:

 

[Stitch01]

What were the odds two weeks ago on Pats fans rooting for Revis and disliking Talib?

 

[NickEsasky]

Who was the top-flight CB on the Ravens two seasons ago? How about the Giants the year before that, is Corey Webster a top-flight guy?

This is true. But I'd say it's pretty safe to say you need a CB who can shut down half the field regularly or a great pass rush in today's NFL. 
 
The Giants regularly got pressure with 4 DL and the Ravens could rush the passer. 

 

[RedOctober3829]

Yes, 12 million per year over 5 years with half guaranteed

Teams that have won a Super Bowl in the past 8 years without a top flight cornerback:

You've got the Giants in there twice ... Oh

 

[H78]

 
Teams that have won a Super Bowl in the past 8 years without a top flight cornerback:

Well, in his defense...
 
Okay, so you don't need a top flight CB. But if you don't have that, you WILL need a top flight pass rush.

 

[Dogman]

 
You've got the Giants in there twice ... Oh

 
I hope this is sarcasm.

That's fair. That's not what he was saying, though.

 

[Stitch01]

I'd start with 4 years 48 million with 30 million guaranteed

Id rather do extra years given where the cap was going, but not crazy.
 
Disagree the Pats "have" to do this though

 

[E5 Yaz]

 
I hope this is sarcasm.

 
Well played, Mauer

Giants & Steelers could rush the passer which covered up the secondary. New England is not that great of a pass rushing team. Revis can cover that up to a degree.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Elite pass rush negates need for top CB. Pats don't have an elite pass rush.

 

[DaughtersofDougMirabelli]

Giants & Steelers could rush the passer which covered up the secondary. New England is not that great of a pass rushing team. Revis can cover that up to a degree.

 
Yes but you said you need a top flight CB to win... which is entirely false. 

 

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

Elite pass rush negates need for top CB. Pats don't have an elite pass rush.

 
Sooooo....you're saying there's more than one way to win in the league? That the equation isn't just "top CB needed to win"?
 
You don't say. Tell me more.

 

[Klostrophobic]

You need to make sure you tell people this is sarcasm otherwise some people might really think you were this stupid.

Sarcasm is boring when you need to point it out, though.
 
Not that it isn't boring regardless.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Sooooo....you're saying there's more than one way to win in the league? That the equation isn't just "top CB needed to win"?
 
You don't say. Tell me more.

Soooo you're saying that the Pats have a good enough pass defense or a pass rush to win the Super Bowl. Really?

 

[Dogman]

 
Well played, Mauer
 
 

 
We have the cap space for Mauer too, that isn't the issue.  /Phragle

 

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

Soooo you're saying that the Pats have a good enough pass defense or a pass rush to win the Super Bowl. Really?

 
Sigh. I am responding to singer's claim that a top flight CB is necessary to win in today's league. That, as he himself has just pointed out, is entirely false.

 

[NickEsasky]

Soooo you're saying that the Pats have a good enough pass defense or a pass rush to win the Super Bowl. Really?

He's not saying that at all. He's saying there is more than one way to skin that cat. 

 

[dbn]

Every single team to win a Superbowl last year had a top-flight corner.

 

[jsinger121]

 
Sigh. I am responding to singer's claim that a top flight CB is necessary to win in today's league. That, as he himself has just pointed out, is entirely false.

 
I mispoke. However a top flight CB goes along way to covering up a mediocre New England pass rush. I'd rather have Revis at say 12-13 million than the 10 million that Ware just got from Denver. 

 

[Dogman]

Every single team to win a Superbowl last year had a top-flight corner.

 
Yeah, but did they win the off season?

 

[kenneycb]

Mauer played QB in high school.  Mallett for Mauer and Buxton.  Get it done Bill!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Then trade Mallet and Rondo for him ... stat

 

[DJnVa]

Come on man, you know what he was saying. He was responding to a post that said you MUST have something.
 
We don't want you in here apologizing again tomorrow morning...

 

[Luis Taint]

Willie Mcginest is looking old, that saddens me.

Speak for yourself

Well since what you said is being "more or less" being said by a couple of members on this site as well as most of the radio guys in the market you can't be too sure.

 

[Smiling Joe Hesketh]

That's a much better point, and probably pretty true in the Pats' case. Whether Revis will actually take 12 million if offered by the Pats is another question entirely.

 

[Hambone]

He's not saying that at all. He's saying there is more than one way to skin that cat. 

 
So you're suggesting sign Revis and trade him to the Broncos for Talib, Ware and Welker?

 

[Phragle]

 
We have the cap space for Mauer too, that isn't the issue.  /Phragle

 
No salary cap = no cap hit. So you're right.

 

[amarshal2]

That was a fun page to read.  Good job, team.

 

[E5 Yaz]

You're well-named

 

[jsinger121]

Let's whack Adrian Wilson now to free up even more money and the number #24 jersey.

 

[NickEsasky]

 
So you're suggesting sign Revis and trade him to the Broncos for Talib, Ware and Welker?

This is just ridiculous. They would sign Revis and trade him to Arizona for Larry Fitzgerald. Then trade Mallet to Houston for Watt and 33 then trade all that for Talib, Ware, and Welker. 

 

[Klostrophobic]

They only save 700K by cutting Wilson. And then you probably need to replace him with someone who makes at least 500K. So you save 200K max.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Come on man, you know what he was saying. He was responding to a post that said you MUST have something.
 
We don't want you in here apologizing again tomorrow morning...

No I didn't know what he actually meant.

 

[E5 Yaz]

We were told that there'd be no math

 

[Klostrophobic]

There isn't. I just did it for you. I even rounded to shiny numbers.

 

[dbn]

 
Yeah, but did they win the off season?

 
Good point.
 
(oh wait - that was sarcasm, wasn't it!)

 

[jsinger121]

 

Tom E. Curran ‏@tomecurran  3m
Source tells me the Eagles are expected to be among the teams in mix for UFA Darrelle Revis.
 

 

[Dogman]

There isn't. I just did it for you. I even rounded to shiny numbers.

 
7 isn't a round number, jerkface.

 

[E5 Yaz]

the teams in mix for UFA Darrelle Revis

Oh good, we could have days of this

 

[Stitch01]

Eagles making a huge offer for Revis makes tons of sense unfortunately

 

[mpx42]

Let's whack Adrian Wilson now to free up even more money and the number #24 jersey.

 
What if Wilson is like, "No, I won't give up my number, I already gave all those diapers to Arrington for it"
 

 

[Kenny F'ing Powers]

Give me Revis, Clemons, and Allen.

I want it all by the end of the week, Bill.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Eagles, Colts, Browns, Jets, and Raiders are teams I think will be all over Revis. I want to believe that NYDN tweet, but I just won't until I believe it. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the bidding gets high enough where the winning team (or a few of the losers, for that matter) regret not just making the trade for the other contract. I wouldn't at all be surprised if that Tweet was a leak to up the offer from the Jets.

 

[Klostrophobic]

 
7 isn't a round number, jerkface.

True, but zero is.
