Hahaha!!!But yeah, he is an immense nullifier in the right setting.
New Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht is on record saying that the first order of business was to address Revis’ contract. Weeks later, the rumors started regarding the Bucs receiving inquiries for their star player from not one but two separate national reporters.

Is that accurate?

I have not heard that but I hope they do that thing where they change some of that contract to a guaranteed bonus.

But it COMPLETELY changes his cap number so why should any fan give a shit?

Easy to say when it's not your money to spend...
The Bucs really have no leverage. and only have three options:1. convince Revis to rework his deal and trade him or keep him2. keep him and pay him a total of $32,000,000 for just two years3. let him walk and lose their investment without even getting a reach aroundThe league and the current Bucs management know that Dom and Schiano screwed the pooch by signing this guyat that salary and nobody is going to pay what the Bucs gave up to get him along with the $16,000,000 even if they got the cap space....So they either have to carry a overpaid player on their roster that won't get them to the promise land or take a loss....
As good as Revis is, this pretty much sums it up. There's nearly no chance of trading him as no team will want to pay him as much as the Bucs are. That's before even getting into trade value. If the Bucs can restructure they may as well keep him.

Yeah, the context is pretty important:
Talking to Mike Florio on PFT Live, Licht said that both he and Smith will sit down together and discuss Revis’ contract when Florio asked about the star corner’s salary.“It’s a premium position. He’s a premium player,” Licht said. “He’s obviously a very, very good player that can take a good defense and make it excellent. That’s one of the first things we’re going to talk about with Lovie but right now we’re excited to have Darrelle Revis on our roster.”During his introductory press conference, Licht mentioned Revis as one of the pieces in place for a solid foundation while also mentioning that he believes in building a team through the draft. That’s not to say that Licht or Smith will consider releasing their Pro Bowl cornerback but, Licht’s quote to Florio seems to hint towards opening talks about a restructure to a series of year-to-year $16 million per season contract.
It's not your money, it's not preventing us from signing anyone, he's a HoFer (arguably GOAT) in his prime. Why get rid of him at all? To draft unknowns? Great teams are great because they keep and develop talented players. Shit teams stay shit because of constant turnover.Getting rid of Revis is moronic.
That would put Revis’s 2014 salary cap number at $8 million — $3 million in base salary, $2 million bonus proration, $1.5 million roster bonus and $1.5 million workout bonus — which the Patriots easily could handle. The Patriots currently sit with $12.7 million in cap space for 2014, and can create an extra $9.2 million by cutting Dan Connolly, Isaac Sopoaga, Tommy Kelly, Adrian Wilson, and Jake Bequette. They can create even more space by giving contract extensions to Vince Wilfork, Devin McCourty, and Stephen Gostkowski.
.....and increases his cap hit over future years to $18mil. For a CB.

Lmao what?? Yea it's not my money. I'm not a fucking NFL owner. I'm confused at to what the fuck you're getting at.

can you explain Ryan? Wouldn't they be taking, essentially, a series of one year, $16 million cap hits, and trading it for spreading the same hit out at lower amounts over a number of years? In other words, you say "cap hit over future years to $18mil" (plural on years), I presume that is because it would be $18mil divided by x number of years?
thanks for posting, this from the linked article was really the example I was raising yesterday Havok:Revis is set to make $16 million per year — $13 million in base salary, plus a $1.5 million roster bonus due each March and a $1.5 million workout bonus for showing up each offseason. At that structure, Revis’s $16 million salary cap number would be the largest on the Patriots – higher than Tom Brady’s $14.8 million. But that contract comes with a big asterisk, as discovered by the Tampa Tribune. Per the contract, the team can convert Revis’s $13 million salary into a guaranteed bonus at any time. Revis actually would prefer this to happen — instead of waiting for the fall to receive his salary in 17 installments, he’d receive most of it up front in a big, fat check. Converting salary money to bonus money allows a team to spread that cap money over the life of the contract, as the Cardinals did with Larry Fitzgerald last month. So, for example, in 2014 the Patriots could decide to turn $10 million of Revis’s $13 million into bonus money, which would be spread over the final five years of his deal at $2 million per season. That would put Revis’s 2014 salary cap number at $8 million — $3 million in base salary, $2 million bonus proration, $1.5 million roster bonus and $1.5 million workout bonus — which the Patriots easily could handle. The Patriots currently sit with $12.7 million in cap space for 2014, and can create an extra $9.2 million by cutting Dan Connolly, Isaac Sopoaga, Tommy Kelly, Adrian Wilson, and Jake Bequette. They can create even more space by giving contract extensions to Vince Wilfork, Devin McCourty, and Stephen Gostkowski.
The problem with that idea is it focuses on 2014, what about 2015 and beyond when his cap figure is now an even worse $18 million.Thinking short term will kill you long term.
