I would be ecstatic with a 2nd round pick at this point. Totally fucking ecstatic.
Also dumb enough to give up picks AND pay revis 16mil.....wait, the Bucs did that last year :/
No one will care when its restructured to include a signing bonus and lower the cap hit.Details, people. Details.
And Revis is going to restructure to stay in Cleveland.....why? He's not going to agree to restructure with anyone. He'll just take getting cut and go sign where he wants.
Google what "unilaterally" means.Its not up to Revis.
It's not up to Revis if he restructures his contract? That's interesting.
"His contract provides an easy out. As recently explained by Roy Cummings of the Tampa Tribune (as part of an item pooh-poohing the idea that Revis could be traded), the Revis contract contains a provision allowing the team to unilaterally convert his $13 million base salary into a signing bonus.If, for example, the team shifted $12 million of the base salary to a signing bonus spread over the remaining life of the contract, the device would create $9.6 million in cap space for 2014, pushing his cap number down to $6.4 million." http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/03/11/revis-contract-gives-team-unilateral-power-to-restructure/ This is the reason he won't be released outright. As of right now, 98% of fans still don't realize his contract is structured like this. Make him MUCH more trade friendly.
Cleveland makes a lot of sense as the OP points out. One more: they really need star power. Throw in the "Dawg Pound" was originally started when they had those two corners.As for the the Bucs, does having a ton of cap room excite you this year considering you are creating a massive hole on D? Makes no sense to dump Revis without a big trade.
I would be ecstatic with a 2nd round pick at this point. Totally **CENSORED**ing ecstatic.
+1
The same people believing that Revis will be released are the same people who believe Schiano released Freeman's medical info. By the way, how's that investigation by the player's union going?Here's a clue, people: Most "sources" these know-it-alls cite are AGENTS.
Yay...trade Revis to Cleveland...then we solidify our position as the new Cleveland...
This is worse than Cleveland. Cleveland recouped a 1st round pick for T-Rich. Bucs just release their top players apparently.
If we can pry a #1 & Mack loose from them, I'm a happy camper...

What part of doing that restructure do people think is actually good?All you do is make bad cap hits in the following years and add guaranteed money making it even harder to move.

He doesn't have to restructure for Cleveland. They'll have $30M of cap room even with Revis and Pettine values man to man CBs.
What is the Buccaneers cap room with Revis? $24M or so?

Yup...the "source" is most likely Revis' agent or somebody in his camp. I'm sure Revis doesn't want to play somewhere like Cleveland or Oakland, but that's not up to him...Snook, do you know if there are any provisions in the contract based on if he is traded?

Its done by almost every other team in the league. Other than Dominik, MOST teams kick the can down the road.

The problem is other teams aren't already overpaying by 50-60%
How much would Revis lose if he hits free agency? $6M? $8M?
There's 12 other teams right now with at least $24M in cap space.That wasn't the case this time last year.
