Owner's 'gut feel': Revis won't play for Jets

[Hasselbeck]

From Adam Schefter's twitter:

Jets chairman and CEO Woody Johnson told @JeremySchaap that his gut feeling is CB Darrelle Revis will not play this season.

Then there's this:

IMO, Revis is doing the right thing.
He absolutely has to get paid before he ever steps on the field again. All he has to do is look at former teammate Leon Washington.
Woody Johnson has to step to the plate here, if he wants to get a Super Bowl. Revis is the best CB in the league and should be paid as such.

For the life of me, I don't know why Tom Brady has put up with the shit he's dealing with in New England. If I were him, I'd say to Robert Kraft: "Listen fuckface, I get more than Sam Bradford or I don't step on the field for the Patriots again."

At least the Colts are saying they want to pay Peyton Manning top money.

Lets get ready for Cromartie Island then....

Bye Reeeeeevis...see ya next year.

If Revis ever wants to win a Superbowl this is his best chance too. He wants to be paid more than Nnamdi Asomugha and quite frankly not knowing what the CBA will be like and still overpaying for a player doesn't sound like a good business decision to me. Nnamdi Asomugha should not be making 15 mil a season.

Tom Brady cares about the Superbowl more than anything else is why. He's been their 4 times and obviously wants to get back more than anything.

Let's be serious. He wants to be paid 16 mil on average instead of 12 or something like that. Thats a little ridiculous. He should take a 1 year "Band-Aid" like Chris Johnson did except get more than just an extra million. Then once the CBA is dealt with then they can give him his 10 year 160 million dollar contract with 60 million guaranteed. Let's be honest, this is probably the type of deal he wants.

Revis and Johnson have no business being on the field without some serious up front money.

They are playing two of the most replaceable positions in football.
Both are coming off arguably the best Off/Def performances this decade.

Brady has earned the right to hold out for whatever he asks. But at least hes on his 3rd or 4th contract at this point. Second contracts are the most important you need to milk as much as you can.

That said my opinion and there opinion of serious up front money are vastly different.

Al Davis broke the scale for CB's, no way I pay Revis $15M or more, he isnt good enough to eat up that much cap. No CB is.

[Fox1994]

So would y'all say this offseason is the exact one where football players start getting paid as much as basketball and - soon enough - baseball players?

I think a CBA will make shit consistent, but I think overall the price hike will continue for at least a minute. No kind of returning to the old way of paying guys.

Do y'all think the CBA will regulate contracts any?

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

Too hard to say.
Rookie caps would free up a ton of money for vets.
Owners secretly dont want to pay old vets $$ and have used the cap as an excuse to cut aging players without backlash.

I still dont see the middle of the pack player getting any significant pay raise unless things go capless.

Owners wanting to go 18 games would demand salaries be around 20% higher than they already are.

Too many people thinking $$$$ and eager to "revamp" the financial system.....and not enough worried about game integrity or smart enough to realize the financial structure is the primary reason the NFL is what it is today.

That's always something I've found intriguing. Quarterbacks requiring more money has created a system in the league wherein the pass is heavily leaned on and quarterbacks are asked to take less and less risks with their bodies, inflating scores (which fans apparently like) and removing the need for athleticism at the position.

The on-field product creates the pay structure, and the pay structure determines the on-field product.

It's really quite something.

And with people getting paid out of their minds, guys play lights-out in a contract year, but never live up to the contract money they inevitably get because it's not required of them.

Game integrity is destroyed, the product is watered down, and all in the interest of money.

And let the typical season for a Jets fan begin.

High hopes. Check.
Bitter disappointment before the season starts. Check.
Lots of shit talking before winning a game. Check.

Being a Jets fan really sucks sometimes.


Sign the fucking contract, you greedy mother fucker. You had 1 great season, and 1 great season does not $15 million make.

Javon Walker agrees.

Woody's full of it. This is all part of the negotiations. I doubt Revis sits out the whole year. They'll get it done eventually.

[mgoblue2290]

Revis missing an entire year would be pathetic for both him and the Jets. I really don't understand contract negotiations anymore, the team presents an offer, the agent presents an offer and as long as both of those are realistic, you should be meet somewhere close to the middle and you're done.

[Tengo Juego]

New York, pay the fucking man. Or suffer the consequences of not having arguably the best defensive player in the league.

I dont buy him not playing all season though.

[JayDizzle]

If the lockout happens next season (a few games or a whole 16 weeks + Preseason), Revis will be out on his ass by then.

Jersey/B ownership won't pay the guy when they can build on last year and call up some random to fill his spot.

Revis better take what he can get.
