Morrissey Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Woody Johnson leaning on his G.M. to bring Darrelle Revis back Posted by Darin Gantt on March 3, 2015, 6:11 AM EST AP Woody Johnson was quick to say he “misspoke” last year when he blatantly “tampered” with Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis. Apparently, he’s still talking about Revis, but keeping it within his building. According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, Johnson “has been involved in serious internal discussions” with General Manager Mike Maccagnan to make a push for Revis if and when he becomes available. The Patriots would have to pick up a $20 million option bonus by March 9, part of the “placeholder” deal that helped Revis win his first Super Bowl. They’re working on a long-term deal to keep Revis there, and if nothing else, reports of Jets interest will at least make it more expensive. But the Jets need Revis perhaps more than ever, since new coach Todd Bowles depends on his corners playing press-man so he can blitz more. So it’s one thing for Johnson to say he’d “love to have Darrelle back,” but it’s easier to put that plan into motion now. The Jets have $51 million in cap room, and the means to bring him back. Now they just have to get him away from the Patriots, and every other team in the AFC with a link to him and a need (Rex Ryan in Buffalo and Mike Tannenbaum in Miami). http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/03/03/woody-johnson-leaning-on-his-g-m-to-bring-darrelle-revis-back/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrissey Posted March 3, 2015 Author Share Posted March 3, 2015 I hope it's true. Beside really needing a corner with his ability, I hold no ill will towards Revis, he'll always be a Jet to me. Other than maybe Curtis Martin, I've never seen a Jet as good as him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villain The Foe Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 "blatantly tampered", really Manish? I totally got that from the interview. Manish is really becoming the foreskin of the sports writing world, you can totally cut him off. As for Revis, we should have paid him 3 years ago. He's not the same player today but he'll want the same money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Manish is a tool with no inside information; Jets should sign; McCourty, Worlids, Cro and Jackson for the same money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdetroit Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Manish is a tool with no inside information; Jets should sign; McCourty, Worlids, Cro and Jackson for the same money I agree our secondary needs three viable starters from free agency to be fixed. Personally I would go McCourty, Maxwell and Cro for same or less money than what Revis cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patman Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 You would think that Manish WANTS to see the Jets lose a pick for tampering with articles like this. This is nothing to do with the tampering charges. Woody was on camera saying exactly what the rules specify what you can not say. The jets need a corner, the owner says he wants him, Revis says in an interview that the jets were his first choice. It is not tampering to have internal discussions regarding a player. Any way the tampering charge will be decided in the league meeting the last weekend in March as they were in the Detroit/KC andn SF/Chicago episodes.

BP Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Revis' agents loooovveeee using Woody Johnson for leverage. Woody shouldn't be telling anybody how to build the team.

long suffering jets fan Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 I know Woody isn't smart enough to do this but maybe he's trying to manufacture leverage for Revis in his negotiations with the pats Or driving up Revis' price so we can grab McCourty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would go McCourty, Maxwell and Cro for same or less money than what Revis cost Please tell me how? If a team makes revis the highest paid CB in the league at 13.5 mill a year. to get those three will be about 22 mill , You can get two of them though. McCourty Gets a deal between Goldson/Weddle and Berry/Thomas say 9mil a year. (tag being 9.6) Maxwell as the #1 corner in FA will get Chris Harris # at 5 and 42 Cro will most likely get 2 and 7 ( he made 4 mill last year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he let the GMs do their job we might have won a SB. He's much too reactionary, now he wants Revis back after he realizes his mistake. Too late.

AFJF Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Who isn't? The Jets traded him because of $ The Jets traded him because every time they gave him the $ he said he wanted, he asked for more. Gotta draw the line somewhere. If the Jets kept going down that road he'd be on the roster now making $40 million a year. Not prudent IMO.
