I'm approaching it from the standpoint that no one will pay him $16m/per. If that team exists, my proposal has a few holes.  Going to be interesting to see it play out.

Throughout this all I can think about is this video:

Rapid Fire, first word that comes to mind.
Belichick
 
Revis "Jerk"
 
Hopefully he still doesn't feel that way.

Doesn't make a ton of sense. Then again Whitner and Dansby just signed there too.
 
Can't speak for Dansby but Whitner grew up on the east side of Cleveland and played college ball at OSU.  He seems to be excited to play there.

But how many sacks does he have in his career? 2.
 
That's as many as Arrington.
that's cheating though, I think both of Arrington's came  when for some reason BB decided he could be a defensive end

I was half asleep, but had ESPN on. Did anybody else hear Clayton say that Revis was visiting New England tomorrow?
 
I don't think that is possible given the fact that he would still be under contact by another team tomorrow.

They really need to trade for Revis now and sign another pass rusher (ie. Jared Allen) to remain competitive with Denver and their recent and planned moves (ie. Talib, Ward, Ware) over the next couple of years. The defense needs to be a priority. Other holes (ie. OL, 2nd TE, DL, Safety) can be filled in the draft. Wilfork should be restructured.

I heard it, too.  Casually threw it in there when mentioning the Bucs as his most improved team.  When talking about Verner as a Revis replacement, he said "who by the way is visiting New England and if he doesn't get a trade there, he's going to be cut" or something along those lines.

Thanks I thought I heard that. Surprised that its not getting more play.

With Talib going to Denver, shouldn't the pats actually prefer a trade for revis vs signing him as a free agent, because they'd likely get a 4th round compensatory pick for Talib next year which they'd forfit if they sign revis as a free agent? So give up a 6th now for a 4th next year....maybe I'm thinking of it wrong.

I believe guys that are cut, like Revis, do not count.

It's Ben, you clod.

And as an aside, let me be the first to say that "Get it done, Ben" is awesome for two reasons -- one, because it's hilarious out of context and secondly because it's an awesome reminder that that actually happened last year.

Carry on...

Schefter this morning on radio--does not expect trade, because Revis won't agree to redo deal. Thinks he's cut at 3:59.

If he's not willing to redo contract to facilitate a trade then that suggests the cost of his contract will be too high for the Pats when/if he hits the market.

Well, once he's released his reality is a little different, and he apparently wants to be released. While he's under contract he's not going to give that money back. Once he's a FA, then he can shop and look for things.

All we know right now is that none of the 32 teams is willing to pay him $16M per season.  Anything beyond that is just guessing.

If he gets released he gets a good chunk of bonus money from Tampa, correct? Plus whatever his new contract is. So he'll be making a lot more money than what the Patriots would be paying him if they were to sign him as a FA

If Talib gets $26 million guaranteed, what can Revis get? 
 
I understand that you can play with $$$ for cap purposes, IMO Revis to  Foxboro seems unlikely. 
 
IMO BB might want Revis but settle for the other former Jets CB, Cromartie.

Everyone on NFL Network this morning is saying New England is a perfect fit for Revis.
 
You, sir, are a bravo soul.  I turned on NFLAM and was subjected to a loo-boo-hoo Tuck Rule story with clips from Lincoln Kennedy and Rich Gannon.  And then a segment on "Broncos Doin' Work."  I lasted all of 6 minutes.

Ha! Their Free Agent programming started at 10. Much more watchable.

The best fit for Revis, unfortunately, is the team that pays him the most money. Maybe the Pats will do it, but that remains to be seen, and there are a handful of teams out there with more money to spend. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if Irsay lights up a bong this afternoon and offers up his 4th to take the contract as is. They've got the money, even after their two big signings.
