as opposed to having revis back on a ridiculous deal

 

[ratbast]

QUITE FRANKLY, I'd rather have vince back

That makes you an idiot

Id rather have Vince back at a team friendly contract.

As opposed to having Revis back? That is nuts. Vince joins a long line of great Patriot players that the Pats said goodbye to at the absolute right time.

Id rather have Vince back at a team friendly contract than Revis at 3 for 50 and 40 Million guaranteed!

You are okay with paying McCourty top dollar but not Revis?

I hate to say it, but if this is the price for Revis, then enjoy wallowing in the mediocrity that is the NYJ.

 

[Casting Couch]

The Sports Hub is reporting Revis demanding $40 MIL guaranteed, and the Patriots offering $35 MIL guaranteed.

yeah --- mccourty didn't get 50m with 40 G

Pats offered 35M guaranteed, you want to let him walk over 5M?

yes, they probably pushed the envelope with their offer. They wont counter, its what they have viewed as their available $. Its not the money, um ever. Its always the cap space.

 

[Anarchy99]

Well, they did sign WR Brandon Gibson for $825K.

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

I would say they have a two year window to win another title with Brady, retaining Revis should be the top priority and yes it will be a high price because he brings tremendous value to the team. Heck , he is every bit as valuable as Suh.

yeah, and I think suh was grossly overpaid, which is why these teams are always chasing the pats

I'd rather not the pats run their team like miami

I've been hearing about this window for the last 10 yrs

Suh's contract is 60M guaranteed, Revis has at least comparable value in today's NFL and you would have to lay out 20M less.

Brady is pushing 40, unless he starts visiting Big Papi's doctor he is very close to the end in terms of being elite.

 

[Anarchy99]

Brady is 37 and predominantly gets rid of the ball in 2 to 2.2 seconds. As long as he can get the ball out quickly and his receivers can get open, he should be able to be relevant for a few more seasons. They don't ask him to throw the ball downfield very often.

 

[fruity pebbles]

I really hope they're not gonna lose over over 5 million bucks over 3 years.

 

[Run It Up]

Blount's plea for Revis to stay.

 

[Casting Couch]

Blount's plea for Revis to stay.

Don't be disobeying Mister Blount, you know what can happen.

 

[Anarchy99]

Revis to Jets said to be a done deal.

 

[Anarchy99]

Said to be more than $40 million guaranteed.

 

[fruity pebbles]

This better be a F....ing huge contract

 

[PatsWillWin]

Okay, well we have some cap space now, no? Andre?

WE"RE GOING TO BE OKAY. ITS OKAY> EVERYONE RELAX~!!~!!!

 

[Anarchy99]

I heard something like 3 years for $60 million. Like $45 or $50 million guaranteed. But that is far from official.

 

[NE_REVIVAL]

Bummer but not surprising.

As predicted, there was little doubt in my mind that money would be first and foremost in his mind. I appreciate the help last year, now don't let the door hit ya on the way out.

Good luck in NY and their of a team.

 

[Run It Up]

Gonna have to spend smartly to make up for losing Revis.

If they got Harvin (which its sounding like they did) for cheap I think he could produce at an elite level in this offense, need to add a RB, I like Helu. Maybe we can afford Cromartie?

 

[Anarchy99]

Helu to Raiders, so scratch him off the target list.

 

[Run It Up]

Of all the ####### spots, why do players waste their time.

 

[PatsWillWin]

Spiller?

 

[Anarchy99]

Spiller?

Spiller wants more than Vereen, so I doubt it. I think Bush is in play for half the money.

 

[Anarchy99]

Helu to Raiders, so scratch him off the target list.

Of all the ####### spots, why do players waste their time.

If you can get twice the money, why not?

 

[PatsWillWin]

I'm not going to over-react right now. I'm glad they at least retained McCourty. As much work as the backfield needs right now, we could've easily lost him as well.

 

[Anarchy99]

Helu only $4M and change for two years. Guess the Pats didn't really want him as that is really not that much.

give me a couple million --- I might go play for the raiders

 

[ROCKET]

We won the free agency bowl last year which put us in position to win the SB. Hard to watch guys like Browner and Revis walk after one year. In Bill we trust.

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

Huge hole now at CB with the loss of Revis, not having Browner will hurt as well to a much lesser degree. Back to having the position be their Achilles heal.

 

[captain_amazing]

IBT "GM BB is an idiot an should be fired!!!!!1!!!!!!!!11!"

 

[humpback]

Wasn't the Browner option very reasonable?

 

[Bossman]

Safe to assume that some other team will offer Revis a ridiculous contract that the Patriots will refuse to match?

I can't imagine him turning down an extra couple of mil just to stay in NE.

I'd say he is gone.

C'mon Pats fans ... when is the last time NE was the highest bidder for any free agent? That's not the Patriot way.

Heck, I wonder if Brady would still be on the team if he didn't play for the hometown discount.

Silver lining ....this means that they WILL retain Mayo which is HUGE.

.... and I'm thinking they take a CB at the end of round 1.

[Old Smiley]

Oh, well. Back to trying to figure out how to make Revis Island irrelevant twice a year...

Edit: That guy was a good Pat, though. Did his freaking job all year. Pro-fessional player.

yeah --- mccourty didn't get 50m with 40 G

and while we're talking about mccourty --- he actually reportedly turned down top dollar to re-up with the pats

if revis isn't in it to win it he can gtfo

I'm not too worried about it

at the end of next season rex ryan, revis, and suh will all be looking up at the division winner

MARK IT DOWN!!!!!!

 

[Bossman]

Revis is capable of taking 1 player out of the game.

There are 10 other players on offense ... 4 of which can catch the ball.

Crazy how much of a factor people think he is.

 

[AngryPatriot]

Revis is just about the money. Not a winner, but tagged along with a true Champion (Brady) for one year. At his age that contract is DUMB, and like someone said, part of why the Dolphins and Jets of the world continue to suck to one degree or another. Revis for 3 years was what I thin they should've offered, and probably did. Some people would rather play with Tom Brady- others on a team with no real QB... LOL See ya later chump/ Thanks for the help though.

Actually, they should have locked him up before he ever hit free agency.

No one is a bigger fan of Revis than me but that is waaay too much money for the Pats to spend on him. Thanks to him for the help getting #4.

 

[The Ref]

I get why they couldn't match that deal. That said this is a certified disaster.

5/70 is a bogus number. It's basically a 3 year deal with 33 the first two years and 6 if you wanna dump him the 3rd. It's a 3 year 48 million dollar contract.

 

[NE_REVIVAL]

IMHO,

Unless, Wilfork and Mayo are willing to accept bottom of the barrel deals I think they are gone and if they keep Revis and Mcourty it wouldn't shock me to see Browner let go. I think they really want to keep Revis, and there is a good chance they will; however, if I had to bet on it, when push comes to shove I bet he is more interested in money than winning and sadly they won't be able to match what other teams will offer.

None of this is unexpected, it would have been sweet to keep Revis, but he has always been about the money and it was unlikely NE could keep him. Wilfork is\was done afaic, I'm not sure what people saw in him last year that makes them think he is going to be hard to replace on the field (locker room might be a different story). Not a Browner fan, one trick (jam at the line) pony and he just isn't all that good imho. The only obvious one left now is Mayo and as soon as he is healthy he is either going to have to restructure or he is gone (he is way over paid). Mcourty isn't great, but he is decent and will help provide stability.

Revis won't be easy to replace, but they will have aprox 15 million a year more in cap space to try and help fill that hole as well as many other holes they have.

Beat goes on......

 

[AngryPatriot]

Something going on... they really didn't want Revis for 3 years or at all... Revis wanted to go back to NY, likes living there, the pizza, whatever, doesn't mind losing, shorter seasons means more vacation time, less wear on body, etc.

I'd like to see the Pats make at least one big move though, get an impact player or 2 before they're all gone. Who's out there? Kraft is a cheap mofo or the Pats are looking at 5, 6, 7 Super Bowls but.. whatever. We're Champs. We don't need your stupid greed, if you can't thrive with millions you're an idiot anyways and not worthy. Get lost. We want winners!!!!
