Remember that the contract was drawn up before Revis stepped on the practice field with that reconstructed ACL. Too team-friendly?
They are going to ask him to restructure his deal....he will say no...The Bucs will dance with the highest bidder and trade him, keep the 3rd round pick, pick up additonal picks this year and next year...And sign a quality Free Agent DB...That's the plan....they know having such a high priced player on the team that won't get you to the SB is a waste of cap space...The Bucs are 2 to 3 year away from contending for the NFC championship.... so why waste the money?
Why exactly would they ask him to restructure? If its too much, its too much.
I know...thats the catch...it would be foolish not to ask him to restructure his deal and they will approach him with a number that they know he will refuse...Both sides will win on this deal...Reavis will get to play for a contender and the Bucs can grab some players and draft picks....Reavis's agent and the Bucs have probably talked it over and come to an agreement ...it's practically a done deal...Bucs are doing a tap dance right now to keep the Maddenites in Tampa happy...He is gone...and wherever (Pats or Broncos) he goes he will be happy...
I think you are confusing "restructure" with "pay cut". While we have the ability to restructure his contract, all that does it change what years he would get paid what (and if we restructure, we will add guaranteed money). The only reason for us to do that would be if we had a trade lined up to send him to a contender...thats it...and they wouldnt ask him to do it until that was already in the works.Asking him to take less money is not a restructure, its a pay cut and his agent wont even return those calls.
Besides, paying one guy on your team almost $25,000 per play isn't going to cut it...
I must be missing something on this ^^^ type of complaint about Revis.First, what difference does it make when the Bucs have cap space? Second, isn't the Revis contract basically a series of one year deals? If so, they can cut him at any time and beyond that couldn't the Bucs, or any team trading for him, simply redo his deal and make it ridiculously cap friendly? For example, why wouldn't the Bucs (or any other team) give him a multi-year deal, say a four year deal, with something like a $11 million bonus? He would take it and then the Bucs (or any other team) would have a presumably healthy Revis for a relatively modest cap number, right?I can see the argument that he is not needed on a "T2" defense (even though I understand that to be a bit of a misnomer), but maybe I am just missing something on the deal, it's not like Dom signed the guy to a 5 year deal at $16 per year, they are one year deals, right?
The fuss over his $ amount is rediculous. The discussion regarding compensation for Revis and what that trade could draw for the Bucs is one worth having. The $ is not.

well done, with your permission I would like to use that word going forward . . .perfect!
Red for Bucs red, get it?..and no...make up your own god damn words...

well, I guess I just did because I will use it as red for Red Board, a shortened version of RedBoardiculous . . yes!
You're welcome.
You're welcome.

You can admit that I am your vinsperation without coming off vinfatuated...

yes...restructure = pay cut in this particular case...they know he will refuse...
Revis would refuse a deal like $11-$12 mill signing and $3-4 mill base? with several years added? now way, he'd jump all over that because he is just on a 1 year deal now, right?
Vindeed.

If his agent talks him into taking a pay cut, he is the WORST agent to have ever lived. So you're banking on that?

who would be stupid enough to offer a deal like that?
