Metha's story on Woody hunkering down with his crew to draw Revis back into the fold, I am guessing ... is just purposeful posturing by the Jets. They likely have already put a large bid on Revis under the table but the fact is they likely want to ensure that the Flats* pay top price rather than anything else. I don't see Revis leaving the Flats* if he can get top dollar. Why the Jets are putting a bid on Revis is to put as much pressure on the Super Bowl Champions salary cap as possible. For the same reason they likely have a bid on Devin McCourty ... whom they may be more serious about pursuing. I would be perfectly happy with Maxwell and McCourty. Even Chris Culliver (who is an ass wipe but grades well) and McCourty would be sweet. Top it off with a return of Cromartie on a two year deal and I would be happy. Mehta knows fuck all other than how to line his pockets with agent bungs and negative press. He's got Revis and his agents love piss drippin out of his ass. Somehow, I get this other worldly inkling that you are taking this Metha/Revis nonsense personally It doesn't matter what Metha knows or does not, controversy sells advertising on the Daily News website. I do think it makes perfect sense for teams to drive up the price of the free agents of their division foes. Agents and teams will disseminate mistruths to hack journalists to further their aims.

THIS...... Woody was behind Tebow IMO and he should sit the fuck back. J and J won't let him near the business for good reason. Tebow was a great move, he was just poorly utilized by Rex and that dumbfuck Sparano. Tebow was a horrible move.

He's not stupid, people that earned that kind of fortune aren't in the business of doing stupid shit. I hope this is sarcasm. Woody didnt earn shit, he inherited. silver spoon.

Revis is the best at his position and trying to get someone other than him is looking for mediocrity. Revis will have longevity, the best CBs transition to Safety later in their careers and Revis has at least 3 years as a top CB left in him. We have the cap space. We can get Revis, Cro and McCourty for $25-28 million and still have enough to go after the best OL and a good WR plus re-up a contract for Mo.
Maxwell will ask for $9 Million and that's too much for a 3rd tier cb. We miss out on no one by paying Revis.

Bring back Cro, bring back Revis, resign Mo, resign Harris.....Fire up the Wayback Machine! The Jets are going circa 2011.

Not surprising because people keep assuming he earned his fortune from J&J. Reality is he was blacklisted by his grandfather and made a fortune in cable down in Florida.

Reality is he was blacklisted by his grandfather and made a fortune in cable down in Florida. I'm well aware of the falling out, and that he made money in cable (and from trying to dodge paying taxes later on - actually he got caught for that). But he also had a little bit of a head start financially. Dad was pres of J&J for a few years, Woody went to the Millbrook school. Im guessing he didnt go to florida dressed in rags with two nickels in his pocket.

People act like he's an inherited billionaire. He isn't. He probably had good business ties and some trust money and he turned that into something exponentially greater than what he started with. He's a self made man and self made men aren't idiots.

Family business that was handed to them or otherwise wealthy family that they parlayed into even more money. Not sure why people are so obsessed with this only in Woody's case

.@adamschefter tells @adamschein he expects #Jets will attempt to pay Darrelle Revis "anything he wants", and says it'll come down to NE/NYJ

If it's coming from Schefter, then you can bet your ass that this rumor has legs.
