Matt39 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I don't know what you do for a living, but if most of us decided not to show up for work because we felt we exceeded expectations, we would be shown the f%$#ing door in a NY second, no questions asked. That's the way it works in the real world. What's not to get? As an employee, youd have the upper hand if you exceeded expectations significantly(Revis) and were underpaid(Revis, again). I'd say the company would do the right thing and give you the proper raise. If they wouldnt, it wouldnt be too difficult to find someone that would.

Dude Love Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 If he showed up to camp, he would get much more support. If he showed up for camp, he'd be getting paid. Which kind of leads me to wonder why he's holding out to make more money when in order to do so, he has to lose money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenBeans Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 While I'm thrilled with Revis at this very moment, I do understand his motivation to secure his future. Trading Revis is not the solution, unfortunately, and it is really up to him as to whether he wants to play football or not this season. His uncle sat out a season, so I won't be shocked if Revis decides to do the same if the money is not close to what he wants. The best thing the Jets can do is practice, get better every day, and win games. The team has Cro and Wilson as the 1-2 until this is done, and that might just be enough. Winning without Revis will solve a lot of issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't he the "equivalent to the Valedectorian at MIT" and yet, somebody is better than him. There's always somebody better who comes along. Interesting.

Most companies these days are forced to layoff good people and force furloughs... These athletes are becoming incredibly spoiled.. They get paid millions of dollars to PLAY A GAME. And I can't believe that they throw around how they need to feed their families.. There are more important jobs in the world such as doctors, firefighters and teachers who make nowhere near that kind of money... What if they have a career ending injury?

Well that's even worse then Matt... Most go on full scholarships and then complain that a million dollars is just not enough.

Kentucky Jet Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 can we get like 3 1st rounders for him you think? He's gone from Revis Island to where him and his "posse' are now Revis' Divas He has gone from Revis Island to Greedy Island. IMO we ought to trade him even up with Oakland for Asomounga. If they won't do the deal then I think we ought to get the three first rounders for him BUT since he only has had one great season and two good to very good seasons, I do not think we will get three number ones. But I do agree that this greedy guy has ruined our off-season and is now going to ruin our preseason. He will surely divide the team. A house divided will fall. Now is the time to get rid of the sob imo. I understand that he turned down 12 million a year because now he wants it all guaranteed. The Jets are over the barrel re guarantees. He knows it too.
