Why Not Add Revis

[MFT5]

I know we don't have much to give up as far as draft picks are concerned but why not give up any combination of our picks from a 2nd on back.

It's pretty well known that with some restructuring of his contract, Revis' 16m cap hit can go down to 5 and some change.

A player with his impact on defense is important in this day and age not to mention Vontae arguably the better athlete of the two would be learning from Revis and that can only spell Shutdown.

I've seen time and time again draft picks being treated like gold and they great to an extent but never are you gonna find someone the calibur of Revis where we plan on picking if this monster gets built ... What's really to much ???

[Jaric]

No.

 

First off, in the time it took you to post this, he's already staged two holdouts.

 

Second, it would essentially take up the rest of our cap space.

 

Finally, we're already short on draft picks.

[Caleb3502]

Surprisingly he is slowly coming out of his prime.  Still a very good corner, but not like he used to be.  I know he was coming off an ACL injury before last season, but I still think he's starting to slow down.

[Virtuoso80]

we can get a good corner in the draft, better $$ spent, we need a safety and center more than anything else at this point

[Dustin]

No team in the nfl is giving up a second rouder for him.

[Everyone]

I'd rather draft Keith McGill or Stanley Jean-Baptist. There is already a lot cap invested in CB's.

 

[NewColtsFan]

In case you haven't heard, we re-signed Vonte Davis.     $9.75 Mill per year.

 

And with the signing bonus Revis would want,  even a low salary would still be a big cap hit.    These days you can't afford too much money into your two corners...   or three corners....   or four corners...

 

So,  Revis is now pretty much priced out of our market.

he is getting ready to be cut, why trade for him

[Andy]

Not only would the Colts have to give picks and/or players for him, but they'll need to eat his 16M cap hit. 

 

NO THANKS!!!

[Dustin]

[MFT5]

I don't know if y'all know but it's to my understanding if you deal for him you can restructure his current contract and the cap hip becomes roughly 5m ... That's my reasoning for wanting to trade for him

[dgambill]

If we hadn't re-signed Vontae it COULD have been something we looked at...but there are teams with more money that would be appealing to him. I still think Cleveland will be where he ends up because of his Jet connections and they have money they seem willing to burn. Now that Vontae is back....Revis isn't coming here...he will still get north of 10 million a year easy.

[jvan1973]

he won't restructure, he would rather be cut and choose his next team

[Slick_Rick]

I thought I had read something along those lines, but Revis didn't want to restructure.

[MFT5]

He didn't want to for the Browns

[Bluefire4]

He will be released tomorrow.

[Dustin]

No team in the NFL is giving up a 2nd rounder for Revis.

[Jaric]

Not only does he not want to restructure, he's going to pitch a fit every time he's not the absolute highest paid cornerback in the NFL. 

[jvan1973]

He didn't want to for the Browns

he won't for anyone, he wants to choose his next team

[MFT5]

Not only does he not want to restructure, he's going to pitch a fit every time he's not the absolute highest paid cornerback in the NFL.

I can understand your disagreeing of the thought of bringing him in but to be that aggressive about it is a little weird but w/e.

You must of vacayed on Revis Island and got sun burned idk

[ColtsLegacy]

Hmm, trade a 2nd round pick today for a player who will be cheaper and cost no picks tomorrow

. . .

[lennymoore24]

A bit off the subject, but don't underestimate the effect not having a good pass rush has on our secondary.  If I had a choice between the two, I would take DaMarcus Ware over Revis.  Why?  Because Mathis and Ware and Werner would put some much heat on the QB it would make it much easier for our guys to cover.  On the flipside, you put Revis back there with our current pass rush, good luck!  He won't look good!

[Jaric]

Sorry if that came across as aggressive.  Wasn't meant to be.

 

But to that point, look at his history and it's pretty much true.  Every year there's a good chance he'll hold out if he's not the top paid corner in the league.  The contract he wants is bad enough, but when you take into account that fact that he's just going to demand more money every year...

 

Nah, I'll pass.

[MFT5]

Hmm, trade a 2nd round pick today for a player who will be cheaper and cost no picks tomorrow

I said a combination meaning whatever it takes weather that's a 2nd and 7th or 4th and 5th and trading guarantees we get him instead of waiting for him to choose

[jvan1973]

i guess you didn't see the part where he said he isn't willing to restructure. Not only that, the Colts just lockeup Davis. Revis isn't coming to Indy

[MFT5]

Yeah I never really believed he'd come to Indy but I want to disprove the end all be all that draft picks are gold when good players are always dangled for them ...

... and the thought of a Revis, Davis, Toler, butler CB crew seems badass

[AgentOrange]

i guess you didn't see the part where he said he isn't willing to restructure. Not only that, the Colts just lockeup Davis. Revis isn't coming to Indy

 

Well, after tomorrow he won't have a choice. As none of his contract is guaranteed, he'll be a free agent with no income, and no one is going to give him a new contract for $16mil.

[jvan1973]

he will get a huge contract with a bunch of guarantees

[AgentOrange]

he will get a huge contract with a bunch of guarantees

 

But it won't be $16mil a season. In essence, he is going to "restructure" his contract either way.

[Jaric]

Yeah the Raiders have like 60 million in cap space. 

[jvan1973]

true, but he gets to have several teams get in a bidding war over him.

[Dustin]

I saw something on twitter where it was reported that Revis called the Raiders and told them not to trade for him because he wouldn't play for them

[Dustin]

To hit on @Edwerderespn tweet: Hearing Revis's agents told Oakland don't trade for me, essentially I won't play for you

Revis tends to demand you re-work his deal every year and is very quick to pull the hold out card and seems to care about how much money Revis can make Revis every year and hey more power to him because teams do it. 

 

At least with Davis you know exactly what you are getting and he already knows your system and that he's not going to come to you in a year and say hey I want to re-work my deal or I'll hold out. 

[a06cc]

Revis wants to play for a contender. He hasn't slowed down. Was the better part of Bucs defense, but with changes at the staff the move to cut him makes sense. Their trying to rebuild. Now if target any corner it better be a move to get Stanley Jean Baptist.

[FirePepHamilton]

You can't spend $26m on 2 corners, that's why.

 

The Revis dream died with Vontaes contract.

[a06cc]

For us to get Revis that means Toler would have to be released. We wouldn't lose anyone next offseason because the cap is going again increase.

[jvan1973]

or what???

[FirePepHamilton]

Except the quarterback is going to be paid, that's going to be a big chunk of money.

[colts_100nascar17fan]

Its funny he wont take a pay cut but no team is going to pay him anywhere close to 16m,not with him starting to slow. He be lucky to get 10m after he gets hit with a reality check.
