Guess we have to have something to look forward to (releasing players) *Releasing overpaid and underachieving players who are loved by the fanbase and will both be Ring of Honor members as well as Hall of famers. It's exciting seeing a GM finally committing to a rebuild that this organization has needed for years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revis worked hard every week until whatever happened this past season. He was the number 1 corner in the NFL for years. I'll miss him. Absolutely not. That distinction is Namath and it's not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once upon a time - before his knee injury - he was pretty much the best player I ever saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Darrelle Revis for the memories 1 of my all time favorite players. Sadly guys like Revis,Mangold,D-Brick,Chrebet,Lewis etc never won a Super Bowl as a Jet. Revis is one of your all time favorite players? Where do I start with this...are you joking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 10 hours ago, BigRy56 said: This. Revis was the exact opposite of Mangold. He cared only about himself and not the team. yep. there's no crying for revis. he got his money and really didn't do much except play on the field. sure he was a great cornerback but was he ever a mentor? doubtful. it's very rare with the really great players can effectively be mentors to the new guys.

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 One of a few great players drafted by the Jets, was really hoping to see him retire as a Jet - at least it appears to be a classy breakup this time Mangold and Revis, probably Harris next, transition year for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Revis will end up in Pittsburgh and will regain his passion for the game as he mentors a young Steelers secondary to the Super Bowl in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have done it two years ago, but the media and fan scrutiny scared the owner and front office. If this were in any way true (it's not), why two years later is the media and fan scrutiny no longer a consideration for the owner and the front office? This move isn't about rebuilding the right way, it's about cutting a player who vastly under-performed his bloated contract when the team needs the cap space. Everything else is just invented narrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans can absolutely tolerate a rebuild. What they can't tolerate is bad to mediocre drafting, poor FA signings, and being as far from a QB as we've ever been. That's what the last two years have been, nothing more, nothing less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blocker Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Revis was a truly great player. The Jets got incredible value for him when they drafted him, and it's not his fault the Jets failed to capitalize on the flexibility he gave the overall D by being able to lock down the opponent's best receiver with better performance in the playoffs. His time with the Jets was a wasted opportunity overall. All the people who called him Mevis can stick it as far as I am concerned. FO Homers are not imo the good fans they think they are. Having said that, the time to part ways certainly seems to have come. I wish him all the best in his future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. Revis will end up in Pittsburgh.......in court at least......... and in jail if convicted. He won't be convicted as we all know but I couldn't resist. Bye Darryl. You pissed me off when you went to the Pats and I thought it was stupid to give you a boatload of cash AFTER you got your ring. Seems like everything went down hill for you after that. Good Luck and thanks for the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll co sign this. Completely sucking during a youth reload movement can be fun. You sorta evaluate the individual players instead of the wins losses. It involves hope.

Beerfish Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 In his best year it was by far the best year I've ever seen from a DB. It was a hilarious joke he didn;t win d player if the year if not mvp. for a guy that was all about business. This is just a business decision. We'll get better play from some jag next year, no tears here,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
