Darrelle Revis

Should He Stay Or Should He Go

... His performance flew under the radar until Sammy Watkins torched him for 11 receptions and 136 yards in a Week 17 loss to the Bills that knocked the Jets out of the playoff race. Revis was criticized for giving Watkins too much cushion throughout the course of the game. Revis’ terrible performance in the final game of 2015 foreshadowed what was to come in 2016. In Week 1, A. J. Green had 12 receptions for 180 yards and a touchdown. People were concerned, but many understood that Green is an elite wide receiver and just had the best of Revis in that matchup. Then Marquise Goodwin burned Darrelle Revis for an 80-yard touchdown pass from Tyrod Taylor the next week, and it all went downhill from there. His performance regressed to the point where Revis Island is no longer a thing and a previously unthinkable question is being thrown around. Should the Jets cut Revis. The Jets desperately need an edge rusher. The front office has expressed a desire to get younger as a team, and Revis doesn’t really fit the youth movement at 31 years old. He is owed $15.3 million next season, and there’s no way conceivable way Revis would return 2017 ...

Jets Face Big Decisions Darrelle Revis As Focus Shifts To 2017

... They can clear $17 million in a New York minute by releasing Ryan Clady ($10 million savings), Breno Giacomini ($4.5 million) and Erin Henderson ($2.6 million). To me, the most intriguing decision involves Darrelle Revis , one of the best players in franchise history. The Jets figured they'd get at least three good years out of Revis when they signed him to a five-year, $70 million contract in 2015, but they saw a dramatic decline last season, putting his status in doubt. His return hinges on renegotiating his contract because the current cap charge ($15.3 million) is prohibitive. The clock is ticking because a $2 million roster bonus is due March 11. If Revis, 31, doesn't agree to a pay cut by then, he'll be released. The Jets don't want to pay the bonus because it would essentially put them on the hook for his $13 million salary. While some may feel it's time to cut bait, the Jets may ...

Darrelle Revis Can Revive His Career By Emulating ‘mr. Patriot

... was moved to safety by coach Bill Belichick. He wondered what that was going to mean to his career. “I was only in my second or third year, so I didn’t know much about the NFL,’ Mc Courty recalled. “I was just trying to stick around, so I made the switch. It was, ‘You’re going to safety.’ I was just trying to keep my job on the team so I went to safety. Bill said the same thing he says to [the media]. He thought it was best for the team to put us in the best winning situation. So for me, it was a big deal at the time.’. It has paid off for Mc Courty, who has become one of the best safeties in the NFL and is playing for his second Super Bowl ring on Sunday against the Falcons at NRG Stadium. Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis, who was once the standard at his position, is contemplating a move to safety to extend his career. He needs only to look at where Mc Courty has taken it since making the change. “At ...

Should Jimmy Garoppolo Wait For Tom Brady To Retire? Darrelle Revis Believes So

... behind HOFamer Brett Farve. #facts. — Darrelle Revis (@Revis 24) January 26, 2017. All right then, Darrelle. The ex-Patriot apparently believes Garoppolo should wait Brady out, pointing to the three seasons Aaron Rodgers spent as Brett Favre’s backup on the Green Bay Packers before becoming a superstar. @robbiemiddle @Pro Football Talk Jimmy can resign. It all comes down to him waiting until the goat retires or signing with a new team. — Darrelle Revis (@Revis 24) January 26, 2017. The counter to Revis’ argument, of course, is that Brady is playing some of the best football of his life. The 39-year-old posted the best touchdown-to-interception ratio of his career in 2016 and seems to be defying Father Time, showing no noticeable signs of physical decline. But if Garoppolo does end up being the heir to TB 12’s throne, perhaps Revis will be the first to say “I told you so.”. Thumbnail photo via Scott R. ...

Should Jets Cut Darrelle Revis? Move Him To Safety

... is finished as an elite cornerback. And Buster Skrine is better suited to play in the slot, rather than at outside cornerback. Both of those things became clear in 2016, as the Jets' secondary struggled mightily (largely due to poor cornerback play). The Jets last season had the NFL's third-highest quarterback rating allowed (98.5). They finished with the second-fewest interceptions (eight). Awful year for the corners. They got beat far too often. Andrew Mills | NJ Advance Media for __link__. Who stays. Burris will obviously return for Year 2. Skrine probably will, too, because of his contract structure. The Jets would create $3.5 million in salary cap space by cutting him, but they'd have to eat a $5 million dead money figure. Still, the Jets clearly need more talent at cornerback, based on the horrible results of 2016. John Munson | NJ Advance Media for __link__. Who goes. Revis is the big one. Do the ...

Revis Facing Aggravated Assault, Robbery Charges After Altercation

... begins. Today: tight end Martellus Bennett. What will Martellus Bennett do? What’s today? The soon-to-be-free agent has sent all manner of mixed messages about where he wants to play next season and what will inform his decision. In the “he’s leaving” column are his statement that teams overpay for free agents who are “Super Bowl champs”   and a couple of instances in the Patriots locker room this year when, completely unprompted, Bennett started a soliloquy about not being with the Patriots next season. The Patriots paid Bennett more than $5 million last season and he’s collected more than $25 M in his nine-year career. For his line of work, resume and skill set, that’s very good but – at 30 – the sand is almost out of the big-earnings hourglass. What did the Patriots get for their $5 M in 2016? Good return. Bennett played every game (many with serious pain), caught 55 balls for 701 yards (the 12.7 YPC average his highest since 2008) and a career-high seven touchdowns. He was a pretty inconsistent ...
