Um.... not yet.

 

 

 

Sherman, a fifth-round pick in 2011, is scheduled to make only $1.4M this season despite his All-Pro status. He made only $555,000 last season29/2011: Signed a four-year, $2,222,424 contract. The deal included a $182,424 signing bonus. 2014: $1.389 million, 2015: Free Agent7/29/2011: Signed a four-year, $2,222,424 contract.

This is all assuming they extend him.  They probably will, but they haven't yet.

Hawks actually got to the Superbowl and won. Jets with Revis never made the big show so good for Sherman who is quickly becoming my favorite NFLer.

Oh forgot to add Revis is no longer the best corner by a long shot.

 

By most advanced metrics out there he was the best CB this year, Sherman wasn't even top three. Not to say Sherman isn't a stud, he is, but one doesn't need to belittle Revis just to make others seem better.

If we would have brought back Revis this year, this defense would be set to friggen go...especially after the draft.....plus, we wouldnt even have to consider using a high draft pick on a cb this year and could bring in talent at another needed area. He pricey, I get that...but he a complete shutdown corner...hes worth it. 

 

And he definitely is better than Sherman.

I wonder what team will pony up 13,000,001 for Revis next year. 

 

Zero chance he's on NE next year...  If they win the SB - mission accomplished so no more need for him.  If they don't - mission not accomplished so no need to pay a cb 13 bazillion and 1 dollars.

If he has a great season, mission accomplished -- no need to take "only" $12M from the Patriots again.

Metrics schmetrics. I go by the eye test. The Seahawks are champions in no small part due to Shermans play. Revis got his payday but not the ring.

You go by the mouth test, and he has the biggest one so therefore he's the best.

 

We'll see how much his superior play is worth now that they've ditched 2 other CBs.

As Hess mentioned, at $500k.  It's going to be pretty hard to field the same defense when Earl Thomas and Sherman are collectively responsible for $20+ million per season on their cap.

 

 

Jets fans didn't hear this news but the cap went up this offseason, and its projected to go up by 5-10mil chunks over the next few seasons.

He does have a big mouth but at least has backed it up till now (unlike our Jets HC)
