Jets owner Woody Johnson to explore trading Darrelle Revis

The New York Jets, fresh off an exhaustive hunt for new general manager John Idzik, will explore options to deal star corner Darrelle Revis this offseason, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

Revis, whose contract voids after the 2014 season, is set to earn $6 million in 2013 (between salary and bonuses), and owner Woody Johnson has strong reservations about the ability to extend Revis's deal, the sources said. Johnson has expressed his desire to attempt to land value for Revis now, rather than risk losing him as an unrestricted free agent a year from now, most likely seeking as much draft-pick compensation for him as possible.

The Jets are very much in transition mode, they have cap issues moving forward and are trying to embark on a rebuilding processafter firing former long-time general manager Mike Tannenbaum. Revis, who missed almost all of last season after suffering a torn ACL, engaged in a long holdout in 2010 that resulted in a contract extension that was more of a Band-Aid than anything else.

Revis signed a seven-year deal then that voids to a four-year pact, thus making him an unrestricted free agent after the 2013 season. The deal also precludes him being hit with the franchise tag or any other such mechanism. Johnson has made it very clear he would like to pursue a means to reap rewards for Revis now, sources said, and it is likely to be an immediate part of Idzik's initial job duties.

Revis is considered by many to be the best defensive player in the game. And with pass rusher Mario Williams earning$60 million guaranteedfrom Buffalo a year ago, Johnson understands how financially restrictive it would be to retain him. His team desperately needs young, cheap, impact players to help reposition the team for the future, with 2013 a year of transition.

Revis is the only real trading chip that he has. Knee injury or not, there would be no shortage of teams interested in securing his services and no shortage of rebuilding teams sitting on massive cap space in 2013. The Jets are also likely to be hard-pressed to retain free agents like tight end Dustin Keller, running back Shonn Greene and defensive tackle Mike DeVito, though they will make a push to retain DeVito, the sources said.

Getting Revis signed to an extension would be a possibility to trying to remedy this situation, but the sources said Johnson has established his desire to move him if he can secure fair value in exchange.

Dealing Revis would incur a $9 million cap hit due to some option-bonus prorations involved in the contract -- thus Revis would count an additional $3 million against the cap than he is currently scheduled to -- but the Jets could navigate that relatively easily according to sources familiar with their cap situation, via a restructuring or by releasing a veteran. The team is using 2013 as a year for cap and budgetary housecleaning, to get situated for the future. It stands to reason that come 2014, both Revis and head coach Rex Ryan, are gone.

Any interest?

I can just see Elway sitting in his office thinking about ways to get Revis to Denver. Big bucket of hay sits next to his chair. He looks down his huge ass horse snout at the number-crunched paper trying to find a good offer as he takes a big clump of hay and shoves it past his bigass horse teeth.

I'll admit I haven't read through the thread but what about flipping first rounders with the Jets? Jets get the #1 pick, we get Revis and their first rounder... then we can still draft a QB in the first. What pick in the top 10 is the Jets and does the value match on a move like that?

They draft 9, and if they have first pick they take Geno, no questions asked. No thanks.

The player who was injured most of the year is worth the number one overall pick? Funny shit, man.

jspchief · 01-24-2013, 05:09 AM

He's not going to play under his remaining contract if he gets traded. He'll get a new contract.

We wouldn't and I clearly stated that. That's why I questioned what you meant.

You probably won't like this but, realistically, if we were really going to do this, I could see us doing something like swapping firsts and giving an additional pick for Revis. They could get a QB or pass rusher if we did that.

Or, if the new staff wanted Jarvis Jones, we might be able to trade Tamba straight up for him. They need a pass rusher and Tamba would cost them a lot less than Revis.

Tamba's one of my favorite players but, I could see the new staff trading him. Especially if they have Jarvis Jones at the top of their list and his physical turns out well. Tamba's pushing 30 and is going into the downside of his career.

In the end, I don't think we'll trade for Revis. However, unlike *****, the Packers and Andy do value and invest in top CBs. Woodson worked out great for Green Bay. Asante Samuel, Rodgers Cromartie, and Namdi Asamough are all guys Reid traded for. He's always had good CBs. Even Lito Shephard and Sheldon were pro bowlers for him. He even started with Troy Vincent and Bobby Taylor. That makes seven pro bowl caliber CBs during Reid's tenure in Philly. I think both Dorsey and Reid would be willing to give something if they really want him...

**BigMeatballDave** · 01-24-2013, 07:16 AM

Meh, there will be several good CBs in this draft. Pick one.

No. He has spinal stenosis. Stay away.

**the Talking Can** · 01-24-2013, 07:24 AM

meh...not really excited about trading a high pick and a max contract for a guy coming off a blown knee

should have kept Carr...cost us 0 draft picks and less money
