PFT Reporting Davis To Sign With Another Team

[ricker182]

Like Greg Toler.

Well he's almost a quarter of the price..... so...

[Drewbacca]

You realize depth players are a must right?

 

You do realize that's too much money for depth right? 

[Jules]

 

No need for trade. https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/443192368724844544

He's getting released.

 

 

 

Every fan forum for every team will now go loopy.

actually no it isn't

[Drewbacca]

Well he's almost a quarter of the price..... so...

 

And not even a quarter of the player Revis is.

[Jules]

As much as I like Vontae, I'm not keen on paying him more than 8.5 mil. He has some inconsistencies and tendency to give up on plays. He is very strong in run support which I like. I'm just afraid that he becomes injury prone or quits working hard once he gets paid. Just my fear.....no merit to it really. 

 

Just don't want to end up in cap hell. I would have felt better about tagging him at 12 mil than signing him for 4 years at 10-11 per.

 

Come on......you know how tough it is to live on just 8.5 million?

 

[BlueCollarColts]

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie,  and Antonio Cromartie are two names I like

[Drewbacca]

actually no it isn't

 

Laughable. Not many teams are paying their 4th DB and backup swing guard $1.5 each. 

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

If the new report is true... PLEASE SIGN REVIS. Grigson get it done man.

[ColtJ82]

He would have to really tighten up and be smart with his money, but he could probably get by if his agent can get him some endorsement deals

[BlueCollarColts]

1.5 million average per player? Do you want our depth players to just absolutely suck?

Wow

[ricker182]

I disagree. Look, Revis is good, but not worth $16 million. TB didn't think so either.

[Drewbacca]

You can get marginal talents like them for league minimum.

Lovie Smith uses cover two, there's no need for a man-to-man DB in that system.

Thanks coach

[ricker182]

And not even a quarter of the player Revis is.

I'd have no problem giving him $12M. $16M is just too much and I don't think anyone will give him that kind of money.

[BlueCollarColts]

Laughable. Not many teams are paying their 4th DB and backup swing guard $1.5 each. 

Uhh are you being sarcastic?

[snkdy]

Any chance the Jets abandon their plans for Davis now ?

[Drewbacca]

I'd have no problem giving him $12-13M. $16M is just too much and I don't think anyone will give him that kind of money.

 

Gun to my head, I take it. With the cap going up it's worth the risk. However, if you had the choice of Sam Shields at $9.75 and Revis at $16, with no guarantees left on his deal. I would be hard-pressed not to take the best player in his position.

[coltsfanatic24]

Rex just had the best CB in the league in Revis so he knows what it takes for a CB to get to that level. If the Jets are willing to pay 9-10 mil for Davis then they know how great a talent he is and what he can become with a great d-line. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Davis is a top 3 CB next year under Rex. I've been one of many Grigson supporters since the beginning but if he lets Davis go to the Jets it would be the biggest mistake he's ever made. Yes, even worse then the DHB signing because losing Davis will have an impact on our wins and loses, he's that valuable to the defensive scheme.

[VaAllDay757]

Well if we don't re-sign davis we gotta find a replacement quick tomorrow unless grigson has something up his sleeve we don't know yet

To each his own. We still don't know for sure what's going on behind closed doors with Vontae either.   

Truly I don't think we have any idea what the GM's are willing to spend on Revis.

 

Disclaimer: I'm not Grigson or any other NFL GM.

[Drewbacca]

Uhh are you being sarcastic?

 

Let me rephrase, not many successful teams are paying that much.

[Hamster360]

If Davis goes elsewhere for 8-10M$/year, why would anyone think we would get Revis? He's going to want at least as much. I don't think Grigsons issue is giving Davis 9M$/year, I think his issue is giving a CB 9M$/year.

[Colts_Fan12]

If the new report is true... PLEASE SIGN REVIS. Grigson get it done man.

I'm really hoping no one trades for him so they will release him and we can get him if we lose Vontae we NEED this

[BlueCollarColts]

I dont get it, is that supposed to be a joke or something?

[Drewbacca]

Those moves are stupid. Gordy isn't worth it and neither is Reitz.

[BlueCollarColts]

Considering they both played pretty big roles for us, with both of them playing meaningful snaps.....

[Drewbacca]

Our two biggest weaknesses were secondary and o-line play. Meaningful snaps don't mean anything if they don't produce.

Revis IMO doesn't get 16 mill per year. I don't think any team will pay that kind of money for a CB. So either he gets traded and agrees to a new contract or he just gets cut and signs with the highest bidder.

Losing Davis will hurt but depending on what he's asking for we don't know that it would be a big mistake. It would also be a big mistake to pay Davis way more than he's worth. BTW, DHB was a mistake but not a big one at all. He cost very little and had no long term implications. To date, Richardson has been the biggest mistake. Losing our 1st rd. pick for literally no production has by far been Grigsons biggest blunder until Richardson does something to make him worth what we gave up.

Trash and more trash

Only on this board does a minimum level RFA tender get conflated with a top tier free agent negotiation.

[Drewbacca]

When that minimum RFA tender costs us $3 million. $6 million for a punter, 4th DB, and a backup guard is poor spending for this team.

Please tell us of your vast experience in NFL contract negotiations

[Superman]

Other then Talib who has character issues and is going to want to get payed what other CB's are comparable with Davis?

 

DRC, Will Blackmon, Tarell Brown, etc. None have quite the potential Davis does, but all can step in and play well for considerably less than Davis will likely be signing for.

And there's the trump card we all hate and think is childish.

But let's spend $16m on Darrelle Revis, yaaaaaaay!!!
