Jets Trade Revis To Bucs For 1st Rounder, 6y/$96m, No Guaranteed Money

Jets badly wanted out from Revis.

Good or bad, can see valid reasons for both. But Woody is a tool so who knows.

In a pass happy league, the Bucs investing heavily on their secondary. Can't blame em, better hope it works though.

1 way of looking at it

The other way is....in the big scheme of things, will 1 corner have as much of an impact that he warrants the massive price tag he's going to get? After all, this is an offensive-minded league unlike any time in the history of the sport.

Can't disagree with that at all. Not knowing the Bucs roster, goin off the top of my head. They do have a QB, RB, WR's, decent line. Maybe they think they're good to go. I'm intrigued....

Whispers in the Tampa area that deal is done once he passes physical.

Deal MAY be this:
Bucs get: Revis
Jets get: 2013 1st, 2013, 3rd & 2013 5th

Dominick may also be shopping this year's 2nd and next year's first to move into the top 10 to take one of the top CB's.

Just whispers, but, be on the lookout.

Bucs obviously believe that Revis is what will give them the ability to challenge Atlanta and New Orleans passing attacks in that division. He'll make a difference... how much remains to be seen.

This strategy has never worked, Exhibit A is the Eagles.

It's beyond being a pass happy league. In the grand scheme DB's are powerless to stop the passing games in today's NFL. Bargain basement is the way to go with DB's, especially corners. It's the last position I would spend resources on.

If you want to combat the passing game these days, it begins and ends with pass rush imo. Forget trying to cover anybody with these rules and these schemes. Find two cheap corners who are basically average, and hope you can get to the QB on a consistent basis.

Foolish move for Tampa Bay.

Look at the Giants elite pass rush with average at best corners.

Bucs are at the Jets in week one as well. We'll see if Revis will even be playing.

Corey Webster was average in the super bowl season?

I'll agree with WTB however I think Revis at his best is the only CB in the league that can actually contain even the best WRs despite the rules. However coming off injury and at his age just not worth that much in picks.
It's basically pass rush or nothing in this league.

The Ravens won the SB while starting a CB who graded out arguably as the worst starting CB in the entire NFL.

What other position(s) can you get away with that? FB? C? RG? An OLB?

The point here, is you can win even with outright terrible CB's. Teams are going to pass on you anyway. You aren't stopping Aaron Rodgers, I dont care who you put out there.
