Falcons Inquired About Revis


Recommended Posts

He was wearing a Falcons hat in that one pic, lol!

Darrelle Revis' stay on the trade block should prove to be uneventful.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Tuesday night it's now considered unlikely that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback will be moved in a trade.

The Browns and Oakland Raiders surfaced as two possible suitors Tuesday, with Cleveland looming as a legitimate option. The Patriots also called and expressed interest, per Rapoport. But Revis' camp would rather the cornerback hit the open market than accept a pay cut, and other teams are prepared to wait.

Revis also "loves" Rex Ryan, Rapoport reported, per a person close to Revis, and is open to a Jets return. Rapoport later noted the Giants, Falcons and Eagles were teams that have inquired about Revis

Revis should hit the open market Wednesday. The conditional fourth-round draft pick acquired by the Jets in last year's Revis trade will become a third-rounder if Revis is on the Bucs' roster by the third day of the league year. That means Revis has to be off Tampa's books by 4 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

Revis is well known, infamous even, for his acute awareness and aggressive handling of personal business matters. Taking a pay cut and not having control of where he'll play cannot be an appetizing thought for the star.

Revis will still end up taking a pay cut, simply because it's hard to imagine another team paying $16 million annually for a cornerback. But he gains a modicum of control by refusing to play ball with the Bucs.

I can already see what is happening.

The Bucs want big time compensation, befitting Revis' standing as the leagues top CB. Normally a first rounder would actually not be enough.

Inquiring teams look at Revis' cap hit and likely demand to renegotiate....and will be low balling on draft picks to Tampa Bay. Same as what we did with trading a 7th for Samuels.

Not sure I want Revis here. Even as a FA signing. He is getting up there in age.
