ECURB Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 From profootballtalk.com A league source tells us that the primary snag in the talks between the Jets and cornerback Darrelle Revis, the No. 14 overall pick in the draft, is that the Jets are insisting on Revis signing a six-year deal, but that Revis wants a five-year contract. With so many players taken in the top 16 signing deals of five years in duration instead of the CBA maximum of six seasons, the refusal of the Jets to do a five-year deal could cause this to become one of the lengthier holdouts of the bunch. And there are indications that, unless the Jets yield on this point, Revis might sit out the entire season and re-enter the draft. Keep this in mind -- the uncle of Revis, Sean Gilbert, once sat out an entire season in a dispute with the Redskins. And thereafter Gilbert got paid a bunch of money. Will it happen with Revis? At this point, it's way too early to tell. But, unlike every other rookie or holdout, he's a least got someone in the family who played the patience game, and eventually won it. So if the Jets won't drop the demand for a six-year deal and unless the six-year deal compensates Revis fully and fairly for the extra year of free agency that he'll be sacrificing, Revis could end up re-entering the draft in 2008.

shawn306 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 I would be shocked if he does... Right now he is basically wasting away his rookie year. Any chance of him starting opening day are out the window already. If he doesn't get signed soon his whole rookie year could be a washout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman88 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Revis better be what he is advertised for. Anything less and he will look like a fool. I disagree, anything less and the Jets front office will look like fools. As I said in my thread, Tannenbaum is the one screwing this up. When only one pick has signed a 6 year deal and its the fourth pick in the draft its absurd to expect the 14th pick to go for a six year deal when he wants five. Picks 6-21 are all signed except for Revis and all of them have five year deals. Also even if he signs a six year deal he would probably hold out that year for a new contract and everyone will bitch at him for taking a six year deal and not playing it out.

It's not Revis who should be losing fans, it's Tannenbaum for making demands that are unreasonable when you look at this drafts signings trends.

Jetman67 Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Whatever you say... Is that how you feel about Kendall? Cant compare the two. Kendall is already under contract. IMO he should just shut up and play as per the contract he signed. You really cant sompare different situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for injury risks you dont want to participate... but why not at least be there and try to learn? Because the CBA doesn't allow him to be there unless he's signed. EDIT: Vilma he is focused on that but he wants a five year contract like every other first rounder except for Gaines Adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, for this to end one of two things needs to happen, either Revis caves and is the sucker of the draft class taking a 6 year deal even though everyone else remotely near him took 5, or the Jets look foolish because they rolled and gave in and went with the 5 years the rookie wanted. As a man of principle I would tell the jets to stick it, no way I would want to play for someone who wanted to railroad me like that when the rest of the draft class got a different deal. Can the Jets really have a bug up their @ss like this because they traded up for him? That isn't fair to the player, he was a legit pick in the draft at that spot.

You really cant sompare different situations. Actually the two are closer then you think at first. If revis gets the deal he believes is fair now, he won't be holding out later to renegotiate. Kendell did his last negotiation under the assumption that the jets would later revisit and adjust it, which they now refuse to do with this strict policy of not renegotiating. If I am Revis and I see the front office playing hardball like this on renegotiations, I am going to fight for the deal I believe is fair. 5 years is fair in this year's draft, 6 is definitely not.

Scott Dierking Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 The Jets need to ante up some GUARANTEED money within the contract (ala Robertson) to ensure that 6th year. That is the only way to bridge the gap here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
