Where is the 140 million coming from?

$60 million for Flowers+the other trash on the roster+$80 million for Revis.

Well, yeah obviously he would want alot. So pay him.


And he'll be a free agent next year, then would you pay for him?

He WAS the best corner in football, 2 years ago.

Here's another factor...under Crennel we played RCB/LCB and didn't move guys around to shadow top receivers while the Jets did.

We get Revis, he gets the top guy and Flowers would almost always get the #2 WR.

That's a big factor when you figure in the quality of our potential as a disruptive front 7.

It also violates a pretty good de facto rule: Unless the guy is a QB, don't give him a third contract.

Well, you aren't likely to end up paying him all that money. Depending on what you guaranteed him, you could front end the money.

Well, yeah. But technically this is his 3rd deal, but he's still 27

Cassel for Revis! We'll even throw in Quinn! :titus:

If we could get him for the first pick in the third round, I'd jump on that...trading our second rounder would be worth it if he agrees to sign.

This.

It just isnt a good idea for this team, if we were a top corner away from contending it'd be a different story.

Draft honey badger

Team him up with our puff puff pass rush

Profit

This is where I fall. You can also make the argument that players of Revis' talent are a fit anywhere, but for a team that has a ton of holes, giving up the opportunity for cheap, cost-controlled young players for a player probably at the tail end of his prime pulls us in two separate directions.

I'm also assuming he's gonna stay in his prime until he's 32,33. Probably won't, but if that were the case, I'd be more inclined.

Cue my usual "Cornerbacks don't win titles" rant. I don't feel like typing it anymore.

In reality, they can help... but teams that shoot their wad on CB never win. Although I know I've enjoyed watching Brandon Carr in the playoffs the last couple weeks.

Say we do trade for Revis. What are the odds he actually signs in KC for anything less than the biggest contract he'd get?

What are the odds he would not take KC's offer of the biggest contract if he were in New York, Dallas, or Tampa?

He'll go where the money is, IMO. Therefore unless one year of Revis> 4-5 of a #65 pick and the surplus money from not paying for that year, you don't make the trade.

I don't see how that equation points to us trading for him, unless for some reason the guy likes holding out for reasons other than money.
