Jets to release Revis

[superrep1967]

What does everyone think about bringing him in? I like it that idea. 

[OffensivelyPC]

This belongs in the Draft/FA section.

 

Also, he's too old.

He's only 31

Hate it with all his legal troubles. Also he isn't the sane player he was a few years ago. I'd stay away from him.

[superrep1967]

I mean sign him for a couple years

Well, he's not the same Revis and at his age, you don't get better with each year.

[superrep1967]

He might be a bargain at his age. He could still be our number 1 corner. 

[buccolts]

No 

[Bravo]

No way. He is going through legal issues right now and he is past his prime for sure.

[chad72]

You cannot play him in man anymore against good wide outs, have to give him safety help. If that is the case, get a younger CB that can keep up in man coverage.

[TDewar1987]

We'd be better off getting Bouye or drafting one. I'd stay away from Revis. With his legal issues and his decline in play, doesn't sound like a smart move for a defense who's looking to get younger.

Maybe he ends up back in New England on a discount? If they bring back Butler that likely means they let Logan Ryans go.  Who knows maybe bring in Peterson on a discount too and have him replace Blount. NE always seems to convince vets to take a discount and play there.

[tvturner]

No he was absolute trash this year

[Iancolts]

Honestly Revis will be the last true shut down corner ever.  The way NFL is now with offense and ticky tack calls on defense.  There will never be another true shut down corner.  So with that said he is too old and we need young tall DB!! 

[aaron11]

he was no better than the corners we had last year, plus he has like 4 felonies now

 

i would PASS for sure

 

this may well be the end for him

LOL- wouldn't be surprised but I kinda of doubt it. I think they like Logan and have put time in working with him.

I think they like him too but can you pay both he and Malcom what they are worth on the open market...kinda think it will be one or the other.

[UKColt13]

Unsurprising.

 

If he's willing to play for no.2 money then sure. But he won't.

[nerukamo]

If it weren't for his recent felonies, then maybe, not at CB though. He was pretty bad last year, and like it has been said before, you don't get better as you age. But if the criminal stuff went away and he made the move to safety, still maybe, wouldn't hurt to get another veteran to go along with Adams if he is resigned.

[Steamboat_Shaun]

If he wasn't so tackle-shy nowadays, I'd say maybe bring him in at safety for a year or 2, but he doesn't seem to like the contact anymore.

Looking back on his career he has never been to keen on contact.

He was just one of the best at covering not hitting.

Watching TY Hilton stiff arm him to the ground 2 years ago on MNF definitely soured my opinion on his tackling abilities.

[Valpo2004]

He'd probably be an improvement at the #2 position, I don't think he'd be willing to play for that money.  I'm guessing someone will take a shot on him as a #1.  

 

If not then he will try a 1 year prove it contract to see if he can earn that money.

 

But he's past his prime.  There is no more Revis island anymore.  

 

Also I'm not sure we should do it because the idea generally speaking is that we need to get younger.  Signing older past their prime players for a championship run cost us.  At this point if we made a policy to not sign any new players over the age of 30 unless they where a kicker, punter, or backup quarterback I would be ok with that policy.

Someone's going to throw more money at Logan Ryan than the Patriots. Possibly Detroit (GM is a former Belichick guy). I think he's the least likely of their free agents to be returning. Eric Rowe can do a lot of the same things on bigger receivers, and they won't pay Ryan a ton to be a slot corner.

Ah- I know NE would pay a lot but if someone throws him a good sum- yeah he's gone
