I thought hed be a rental. Im not sure teams are ready to trade a bunch of high picks and/or players AND pay revis 17+ milly a year with lots in guarantees right after a big injury.
most likely teams will promise him way more salary if theyre able to get him through FA.
in this situation, everyone wins, but the jets. hence why a rental trade would be beneficial for them imo
i think it is safe to say that most teams interested in revis, will do their due diligence and consult with his surgeon as well as get multiple opinions.. much like a lot of people did with Peyton Manning
so to assume he'll automatically be damaged goods coming into the season is unreasonable. he's shown that he has one of the best work ethics when it comes to his craft and i'm certain he's rehabbing like crazy. if peyton can come back from his neck and AD from his knee...
i understand that deals like carson palmer can only occur with a crazy ass coach who was desperate because he had kyle boller as his
#2 qb... but it's still a benchmark most GMs can use as an example.
and i should have clarified that the conditional pick i speak of has to do with pro bowl and playoff implications.
anyways, it's all heresay right now.. you and I both are armchair GMs.. so anything is possible.. esp for that type of talent
