August 10, 201016 yr Revis holding out...looks as if he won't play the opener....interesting Considering the Jets are predicted to be a contender, you'd think he'd willing to play despite not being paid top dollar. Woody Johnson thinks he may not play the whole season. This would be a huge blow to our hopes :confused Cromartie on Marshall? Muhahahaha. I'm loving every minute of this. We just may find out. Our starting corners are still better even with Revis out. Kyle Wilson is a stud. No, he isn't. He COULD be a stud, but he's a question mark at this point. I'd love it if he had to stick Marshall.
August 11, 201016 yr The first contract reports in the Revis hold out are out. The Jets offered Revis a 10 year 120 million deal and/or a 4 year 40 million deal. Revis wants 10 years at 160. In reality those numbers dont mean anything. What matters is guaranteed money and signing bonus. It will take at least $40 guaranteed to get him signed. However, I think once the season gets closer Revis is going to bite. It is too big of a risk to not get paid this season and then possibly not get paid next season. He'd be better off getting $40 million now than wait two years and see what happens. Plus since he missed the Aug 10th reporting date, I believe it will be four years until he becomes a free agent.
August 11, 201016 yr Urlacher said that Peppers is the best player he's ever seen.. and by reports, he has been a freak in camp. Getting more and more excited for my bearssss

August 12, 201016 yr Nolan Carroll is apparently looking very good in camp...he was one of the picks I was leery about when they drafted him.
August 12, 201016 yr First pre-season games this weekend yeah! Against Miami! Also, Revis and the Jets have agreed to a truce. They will try to come together and settle the contract dispute.

August 12, 201016 yr http://sports.espn.g...tory?id=5459355 Just saw that on the ESPN little road trip thing. He needs something to do in the supposed Lockout so the heat should sign him!
August 12, 201016 yr Heat's bench in 2011 will consist of Terrell Owens, Brandon Marshall, and Antonio Gates.
August 13, 201016 yr Anybody watch hard knocks last night? It was pretty dam good. Panthers vs Ravens on tv right now. I also get the Saints vs Patriots. ITS GREAT to have football back.
August 13, 201016 yr Heat's bench in 2011 will consist of Terrell Owens, Brandon Marshall, and Antonio Gates. Soooo Gooood! They are all capable of dropping 5 each of the bench.
August 13, 201016 yr Heat's bench in 2011 will consist of Terrell Owens, Brandon Marshall, and Antonio Gates. Don't forget Tony Gonzalez.
August 13, 201016 yr You guys are forgetting Marshall is from Central Florida. He'll look good in a Magic uniform.
August 13, 201016 yr You guys are forgetting Marshall is from Central Florida. He'll look good in a Magic uniform. The missing piece to a championship

Sounds like a great deal for the best corner in the game. The Jets promised they'd take care of him, and as Mark Schlereth said on NFL Live...if it was the other way around and Revis sucked, he'd get cut. There's no such thing as loyalty, and careers in the NFL are shorter than most. It's not arrogant on his part; it's smart.

The Jets are to blame for that. When your head coach is constantly saying you're the best in the game, the player should have a right to feel like he's worth the most in the game, at the position. Especially considering the crap he's being paid now. The Jets will give him what he wants once they realize what they're missing.

This is too perfect!
August 13, 201016 yr Which is why I'm enjoying this so much. The Jets made this monster. This is too perfect! I do think he is the best defensive player in the game. I see both sides. If Revis wasn't doing well, he would get released. He out played his contract and should get rewarded (just like Andre Johnson). The flip side is that he has THREE years left on a deal. He isnt a restricted free agent or at the end of the deal. He is right in the middle of a deal. Both sides say they will work things out. He's not foolish enough to sit out the season and the Jets aren't foolish enough to let him. He'll get paid (not the crazy amount that he wants right now) but way more than what he was scheduled to earn over the next three years. He was supposed to make $21 over the next three years. If he ends up with $45 million over the next three years, then it was certainly worth it to hold out. We'll see what happens but I'm sure HBO is loving all the Revis talk. Ratings will be through the roof if they film his return to camp.

Especially considering the crap he's being paid now. The Jets will give him what he wants once they realize what they're missing. Prove to me that the Jets "promised they'd take care of him". They gave him a well-above slot contract after the draft. And it's a contract he has THREE YEARS left on. And the Aso deal is retarded, as are most Raiders deals. I'm glad the Jets didn't buckle, and he already loses a year of accrued service time. Read all of Rex Ryan's quotes; he said Kellen Clemens is a good QB . He hypes up his team and all of his guys. I doubt that plays a significant role in the negotiations. Everybody knows he's the best in the game anyway. He has 3 years and $21 million left on his contract. The Jets are basically offering him a 7 year/$99 million extension, ~$14 million per year. It's really just all about the guaranteed money right now, I think.
