Sports Whispers ?@SportsWhispers · 12m #Browns, #Eagles & #Raiders have discussed a Revis trade with the #Bucs. Bucs asking for a 1st rounder, will likely settle for a 2nd or 3rd.
I'm rooting for the a Browns 2nd and both 3rds. They can keep both thier 1sts.
That would be epic in this draft.
Revis rejected request from Bucs to cut pay, won’t take less as part of a trade
It’s going to be very hard for the Buccaneers to trade cornerback Darrelle Revis.The problem, as it usually is, is money. The contract Revis signed last year gives him $16 million per year. A season in to his relationship with the Bucs, the team that traded for him wanted him to take less.Per a league source, Revis declined Tampa’s request to reduce his compensation. Which sparked the effort to trade him and the inevitable decision, if they can’t trade him, to cut him.The source explains that Revis won’t take a pay cut to facilitate a trade. Really, why would he? If a team like the Browns would pay him $12 million in 2014 as part of a trade, they’d at least pay that much if they can get him without giving up a draft pick or a player or multiple of either.So unless someone is willing to acquire the current contract as written via a trade with the Buccaneers, a trade won’t happen.The next question becomes whether and to what extent another team would pay Revis above whatever the Buccaneers were willing to pay on a reduced deal. While it’s tampering for other teams to answer hypothetical questions, agents need to know what’s behind Door No. 2 before rejecting what’s behind Door No. 1. It’s safe to assume those conversations have occurred.There’s another dynamic to consider when it comes to employing Darrelle Revis. Teams prefer having a happy Darrelle Revis. If he believes he’s underpaid, he won’t be happy. And he will be considering his options, including but not limited to a holdout.Even a happy Revis is something some teams may not want. He has a reputation, forged by a pair of holdouts in New York and the threat of another that prompted owner Woody Johnson to punt. Some teams don’t want the potential headache, even though the talent remains.Our prediction? Revis will be cut, and he’ll sign for more than the Bucs wanted to pay. Keep an eye on contending teams with franchise quarterbacks, including but not limited to the Patriots, Broncos, and Falcons. For non-contenders, the only way to get Revis will be to trade for his contract, and hope that he’ll be happy.
So Revis could theoretically make 12m here or in a trade, but will wind up making 10m elsewhere. Not too smart.
Revis to the Falcons? Shoot me.
Revis to the Falcons? Shoot me.
LMAO.

keep dreaming... there is no way you trade Revis for less than the Jets compensation last year...
Give me anything. Any pick....just to ease the embarrassment a little.

exactlyand don't blame Lovie. blame Dom
Dom is a dolt that is well established.
Here's a story of 3 different GMs, two of which are morons and one who is not. GM 1 has a player that he wants to move. GM 2 wants said player. GM 1 Holds out to the last possible day, and even eats a 3+ mil bonus to ensure he gets the best deal he can (1st and 3rd/4th round picks). GM 2 Gladly gives the farm to the player, financially, and gives the farm to GM 1, organizationally. Fast forward a year and GM 2 is canned. Enter GM 3. GM 3 has a player, who is a big asset, that he wants to move, but he is so stubborn he refuses to eat a 1.5 million dollar roster bonus (allegedly) to attempt to procure the best deal possible. Instead he attempts to trade said player for peanuts OR will CUT him for nothing. Good lord the Bucs are the worst organization in the NFL right now. Licht just peed all over himself the moment they slapped the GM tag next to his name.The cast of this lovely play is Idzik, Dominik and Licht, see if you can match the names with the numbers!
It's not the $1.5 million that's the problem.

Why would any team trade for him if the belief is out there that he is going to be cut in a day. Sign him for whatever you want then and don't give up any picks! Seems unlikely to me that we will be able to get much of anything for him. Terrible trade that will likely haunt this franchise for years to come.
