I respect you, so don't take this the wrong way, but
HE'S NOT A fukkING RENTAL! The team that makes a move for Revis will have an intent to keep him beyond this year. Otherwise we'd just keep him and get the comp pick for ourselves. We're guaranteed at least 4 for next year, then Revis the year after if all else fails.
There's no sense in dealing Revis for a replacement that will never ever be on his level at CB or anywhere else.
intent or no intent, the contract expires. yes, the team that will have traded for him will have first dibs...but that doesnt make him any less of a rental now.
how is it different from baseball rental trades ? its the same shyt. a team that a rental is traded to can negotiate an extension, cant it ?
I dont see why this somehow doesnt work in this case. obviously if he goes to tampa its pointless for them to get him as a rental. but as for playoff contenders, why not ?
I was never given an explanation on this. if you can do it, thatd be great. and I know football usually doesnt have 'rentals', but....still. for example, boldin is a rental for us right now.
