Revis to the Browns? No back to JETS

Tour2ma

Not that it matters, since I cannot see us going after Houston, but do we have that choice?

I would hope the Browns aren't crazy enough to use $25 million of cap on 2 DBs

Having two "great" corners typically exposes a weakness in one or both of their games.

Look when Asomugha/Hall teamed up. Patrick Peterson looked worse when Cromartie arrived. Asomugha/Samuel.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have Revis but he is going to cost a lot and the payout/cost benefit analysis may not be very high as we already have a very good secondary

The problem with the Nnamdi and Samuel ones is that Nnamdi was already in his 30's and being asked to play in a scheme that didn't play to any of his strengths.

We know that Revis under Pettine works, period.

edit: Honestly the talk of having Haden and Revis on the same side of the field itself gives me a semi. I love defense.

But the Jets fit the author's narrative, no? Division rivals battling for the top player in FA...

Revis could give a flying fuck about that if it comes down to money....and working for someone he likes.

Remember when the Eagles had Nnamdi Asomougha, Asante Samuel, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and people were claiming they were going to have the most dominant secondary ever? They went 8-8 year one and 4-12 year two.

Yes, it would be really nice to add Revis, but I wouldn't throw a ton of money at him if we can't find a way to stop the run and fix our D-line.

But I still think our D-line can be pretty good......if healthy. Taylor, Armonty Bryant/Winn/Hughes et al missed large parts of the season. They would have to replace guys like Sheard/Rubin of they are lost.

I agree with most, Revis would be awesome to have, but there are so many other needs with that money. The defense would be great at stopping the pass, but nobody would have to pass with the run D they had last year. Adding Revis would be like nailing the door shut against the pass, but it still leaves the window next to it wide open for the run...

I would take Revis...., plus pick up one other defensive veteran and draft the OLB or DL......after all, we got 10 picks.

A semi? Is that like a boner?

Steelers inquired today on free-agent CB Darrelle Revis. Unrealistic. Sounds like it's down to Jets and Patriots.

He also says Packers, Bills and a "Mystery Team" are in the mix. Is that what the Browns are? A mystery team?

Rex Ryan would naturally be interested former coach....same deal as him being in on Pettine.

Revis wants $40 million guaranteed. And here I thought he and I had nothing in common.

5 years ago?.....he's 29 and at his peak right now.....easily one of the top few CB's in the league.....5 years ago he was just finding his game....

5 years ago no one threw the ball his way. He was head and shoulders better than every cornerback. And of course, he was five years younger.

He's edging 30 years old, and wants 40 million guaranteed. What makes you think he'll play to his potential (and more importantly, his will-be huge contract) during the latter years?

Awesome, we're overpaying for a guy who will surely make us the best secondary; however, we just wasted money on our biggest strength, and overlooked our weaknesses.

FWIW, I'm a fan of Revis'. But I love the Browns more, and having two CBs eating a chunk of our salary cap smells trouble.

Its a passing game now and we would be stacked with Revis in our Locker Room. Work it Pet..

Anytime you get an upgrade at your #2 CB, your #1's numbers are going to fall some. More balls are simply going to go to your #1's side.

Fix the run defense and add WRs over 6 feet before we even think about overpaying for "Revis Island"

why blow that kind of money on a guy who lines up against a wr that only gets a few touches every game,ain't that right Mr. Farmer ?
