I'd definitely trade Revis for a first rounder if someone would give one. Those OP deals are totally unrealistic so, yeah.
Fixed it for ya
You're right. Let's pay him $32m over the next 2 years and go 10-22.
right .. so the way to iprove in the NFL is to trade away talent? Gotcha . . . . . . (wow)
Well, he's right. Think of all the amazing things that could have happened for this team if we had just traded away Hardy Nickerson after one year?
Are we going to the 2nd round and Championship round in the next 3 years?
I believe their thinking was, hell, we get a 80% Revis for 2013, and a 100% Revis for the following years of the contract. So now that the 80% season is out of the way, why in the world would you trade him to another team where he would be 100% going forward? I better re-read the OP.
He has more value off the team than on it. In 3 years we're going to be sitting here with a 32 year old CB that we've dumped $64M into with nothing to show for it.
Nothing? He has been rated the #1 CB in the league this season. And that is at 80%. These next few seasons will be where he earns that big money.
Nothing as in wins. Are we going to win division championships, playoff games, Super Bowls? That's the goal isn't it?
How you could put all that on Revis makes no sense. He did his job, and did it well.
If you have a $16M non QB doing his job well and you go 4-12, you shouldn't have a $16M non QB on your team.
