Revis?

[IndyD4U]

What are the chances that the Colts are one of the teams reportedly interested in him? It's reported that he won't be re-signed in Tampa with Lovie running his Cover-2. I could see Grigson making a move. I haven't been a big Revis fan, but....

[Dustin]

We don't have the trade ammo.

[Bluefire4]

Nothing to trade and we have no business putting all that salary on our roster as we're trying to be conservative.

[COLTS449]

What's his cap hit? Like 16 million? Yeah, We're not trading for him.

[Colts_Fan12]

No way would be nice but just not possible

[HarassedOffTheSite]

I'd love to have him but he is too expensive. Cornerbacks just aren't that important.

I highly doubt we make a move to get Revis, he's very aged and not as elite as he used to be. Not to mention he will still command a significant dollar amount. i would pass on him

He's 28 and has been as good as he ever has.

I disagree, he hasnt been the same since his injury. i will say he is still good but like i stated prior not Elite like he once was imo. As far as the age goes 28 if you ask me is up there in age, he has been in the league for 7 years. investing top dollar in an aging CB just doesnt seem like a good business decision to me. Now if he was say 25 thats a different story.

He still allowed the least amount of yards/cover snap, targets/cover snap, and receptions/cover snap. Lower than every player in the NFL and playing a scheme not even fitted for his talents.

 

As for his age, non of his contract is guaranteed so if we did trade for him (which we won't) he could be cut at any time with no cap hit. So his age doesn't worry me. 

[COLTS449]

Cleveland should trade for him, Revis with Haden, and Skrine as the slot corner. They could draft Bortles or Bridgewater, and a WR in the second.

They're more important in a press-man scheme than you would admit to

[Valpo2004]

I thought Lovie said he wanted to keep Revis?

He does. This is just the media blowing a story out of proportion. Apparently the Bucs were approached with some trade offers at the combine (and declined them all) and ESPN has turned this into, "Revis is on the trading block."

I see.

 

To be fair Revis would be an easy guy to trade.  No guaranteed money on his contract.  

 

However Lovie is gonna want to build a great defense and that's gonna need to start with Revis.

Good read, i guess from a statistical standpoint he's still an Elite CB in this league. The numbers dont lie.

 Cornerbacks just aren't that important.

 

so i guess you don't want the colts to resign davis. he could be replaced by a rookie and save a lot of money without effecting the defense much.

Nope slowing down receivers or shutting down one side of the field is not important at all

Not when it comes at the price of crippling your cap. Never! ;)

[Danfish98]

Revis would do amazing things for our defense but 1. he's not really on the trade block and 2. he's too expensive.  We'll resign Davis, maybe draft another CB in later rounds and that will be that.  Fun to think about a tandem of Davis and Revis though.

[NewColtsFan]

Wait!    I got it!!

 

Couldn't we trade our first round pick for Revis?!?      No?!?      Darn!

no, we could trade richardson though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

i don't want him with that contract if he was free!
