Its OK, I am capable of defacetiousification.

Sorry, was being facetious re: thread start.

@gftchris said:

It probably came down to the money. He wasn't going to restructure for too much less.

Plus, as I noted earlier in this thread, this guy wants the spotlight, the media attention.

ESPN, the home of the Boston/NY teams will give him all the attention he requires.

That's a big step we have to take. Been haunting us since '99, and what have the Patriots done since '99?

But I agree, screw Revis and the Pats.

Are you getting your info from incarcerated Bob?

Nope, Mike- it was those little voices in his head giving him all that inside information.

@mike-h said:

Revis agrees to 1-year deal with Pats. 12 mil. I guess the OP got the new team, method of acquisition, and everything else completely wrong.

Other than that, spot on.

That's a boat load of money, but they aren't tied up for the long haul which is probably why they don't mind.

It's not a HUGE upgrade over talib, IMO. But doesn't that 12 mil pretty much take the rest of their cap?

@remarker said:

yep i understand but you're aiming at the wrong guy. woody johnson is the guy you need to be berating. rex stood up for revis during that whole time. hell he's a defensive coach, wouldn't you want to keep revis? i think johnson and the GM (tatenbaum?) knew the guy wanted to get out with as much money as possible and then go get his 'best CB in the league' payday.

i don't dislike the guy personally but i think he played like a decent #1 CB last year. no better or no worse than haden. hell he only had 2 ints. and now he wants more money.....again?

i say tell him to GTFO. his personality and selfish aura would do nothing but hurt the young unit that is becoming the browns defense.

that's just my opinion.

@miktoxic said:

uh, no.

i'm in NY and it had nothing to do with rex whatsoever. it had to do with revis and his agent. he held out until he got the deal or extension he wanted for that year and then went free agent.

dude every other day after the draft that year it was back page sports headline news in both the post and daily news. if you know about big market media they have a teaser on the front page for the huge back page photo and headline about said player and their gaffs. he's a diva bitch. he made that whole off season about himself.

i think you should be serving that crow pie to the OP of this thread.

I don't disagree with you on a lot of levels but it could be said that Revis was the first to get fed up with Rex and his wanton ways to the degree he (Revis) tried to get dumped by hold outs/high dollar contracts that resulted in finally bailing out. Or more accurately, letting it be known he wanted to leave the Jets and was then traded. I was reading that crap too.

It didn't take long before others were bailing on the Jets too, including Pettine.
