Dez Trying to Recruit Revis

[kevm3]

I bring him in even if he only ends up being a mentor to the younger players on the team.

I don't see this happening unless they are unsatisfied with Carroll (in OTAs) or that blip about trading Scandrick has any staying power. I listed our roster of DB's below. In the end we'll keep 10 total. I bolded the ones that I think are locks and italicized those that are almost locks imo. Clear PS/Cuts are in red. Blue? I just have no real idea. As it stands right now, We have 9 spots mostly sewn up, leaving 1 spot for the rest to fight over.

I don't see Revis playing safety and that position will be either 4 or 5 guys depending on how much we trust Woods and Frazier. If they show in TC, Blanton is gone. He's an insurance policy as far as I'm concerned. If we keep Blanton, there's no room for Revis.

Let's say Blanton is gone and we have room for 6 CB's (I think this will happen). Signing Revis most likely puts White on the PS. But it also pushes our 2nd and 3rd rounders to non-starting/hardly playing roles.

Like I said, unless we move out another vet like Carroll or Scandrick, I just don't see it. The shallow answer is to just cut Carroll. Add his DUI to what people think about his play with the Eagles, and it's not a tough move. But look deeper and we see that Carroll was a far better player when he was used in a system like Miami (which we also use). Then look at Revis' age and performance drop off. I can't predict the future and these tweets do look like something could be brewing, but if I were to bet, I say we don't do it.

CB
Anthony Brown
Nolan Carroll
Chidobe Awuzie
Jourdan Lewis
Leon McFadden
Jeremiah McKinnon
Orlando Scandrick
Sammy Seamster
Duke Thomas
Marquez White

S
Robert Blanton
Kavon Frazier
Jeff Heath
Byron Jones
Jameill Showers
Xavier Woods

Money would not be an issue. Revis has 6 million guaranteed coming from the Jets and/or whatever team signs him. Team xyz can sign him for peanuts guaranteed and then add on incentives if needed on a per game basis.

This doesn't make sense however player-wise, unless the team has completely soured on Carroll or definitely plans to trade/release Scandrick.

Dez's tweet definitely would make one think something is in the works so we'll see.

Well ok. You just wrote what I did in far fewer words. Well done.

The Jets, who cut Revis in March, still owe him $6 million in guaranteed money, which they’ll have to pay him unless he signs a more lucrative contract with another team. If he signs a $1 million deal, for example, New York must pay him $5 million this season. This setup could entice a team to take a chance on the aging star if he agrees to sign for less than he is accustomed to making.

please say this again for the poster who keeps arguing he loses $6 M if he signs elsewhere. He gets $6M no matter what. If Cowboys signed him for the league minimum, the Jets owe him the difference up to that $6M.

They already have their own brains set on ignore...for reason.

I keep seeing lots of "he's better than Scandrick" posts in this thread.

No way. I'd take a healthy OScan over Revis in a NY minute.

Want more DB help just draft it next spring.

I'm thinking that the current roster is about two to three players away from running away with it all for a significant time. Use of talented players is improving greatly in Dallas...if no one has noticed.

That was the kinda effort only Mo Claiborne could appreciate.

Dez would be better off recruiting Daryl Washington instead. He would push Hitchens and Wilson while being a hedge against Jaylon's health.

And Wahington is a better LB/pass rusher option than Wilber.

Washington may be done, but we know Revis is done.

 

[Bleedblue1111]

Granted, I haven't seen Revis play much lately, I don't understand how he goes from the best corner in the league 2-3 years ago to the bum a lot of people say he is now. He's only 31, almost 32. Is he just slow now?

The Jets were a team in turmoil last season. Anyone evaluating Revis for playing the way he did, on that team last year, should consider that fact.

After mulling this over all weekend me thinks Dez is just pulling a Michael Irving here, it's the off season and we need to piss off the current dbs and make them try to shut Dez down in practice all while creating a buzz in the Big D.

 

[8FOR!3]

I like our young guys also, well I think i will, but the type of vet experience and the things he could teach our youngsters on the field and in the meeting rooms could be very valuable. At the right price, this would be a great pick up.

Agreed. I also believe that the older guys are still capable of showing up big in big games. Revis could be a big game player in the playoffs.

 

[Proof]

please say this again for the poster who keeps arguing he loses $6 M if he signs elsewhere. He gets $6M no matter what. If Cowboys signed him for the league minimum, the Jets owe him the difference up to that $6M.

So then what exactly is his incentive to play ?

if a team offers him less than 6 the jets offset it, but to exceed it do the jets pay the full 6 and the new team pays the difference?

Highly plausible and possible!
That last link @LocimusPrime posted indicated he ( revis)was riding off into the sunset.
After first reading that Dez twitter, it screamed trouble with the rookie defensive backfield to me, and Dez was in panic mode
But I pushed that thought back down and read what other forum members had to say,,, he would bring the old school moxie along with him if he did show up.

 

[Tenkamenin]

I wouldn't mind him but I don't want to cut one of the four young guys we have on contract for the next 3+ years for him.

I would take him over Carroll and probably even Scandrick though.

Can he play safety? He needs about a good 20 ft of distance from a receiver to ensure he does not get burned.

Its Bryants final year of guaranteed money. Nothing more than that. Its his final shot at ole Jerry boys money. He is done in Dallas after this year.

 

[cowboyblue22]

if dez's play don't pick up this season he will be looking for work elsewhere there is a reason they didn't touch his contract

Well,I reckon he'd best come to play every game this season ,showing MR.JONES his gratitude and unwavering loyalty, huh?
(It'd be a nice gesture, anyway)
