So signing the best available player at a position we are in desperate need for help translates into appeasing the player? Because you you don't like him and don't want him here? Who gives a shit what someone tweeted? Revis isn't saying he needs to be appeased. He makes the Jets better, that's all that should be important. What part of "acquiring and appeasing is not the same thing" do you not understand? Like I said I'm referring to the language in the tweet. Who knows if it's true or not but that's what we're going off for now, so that's what I'm commenting on. I'm not against negotiating a deal with Revis. I am against rolling out the red carpet for him and more or less telling him to name his price. That's what I'm saying....... totally agree about not mortgaging the jets just for revis. a reasonable price then okay. but everyone needs to keep in mind that revis didn't do much in the superbowl and he can only cover one person at a time. i'm not saying he's not one of the top 5 or even best corner but the position by its nature is limited. there is the added value in pushing his price up so the patsies need to gag a little more to re-sign him

Why get mediocrity when you can have the best. Revis will cost 15-16 a year but it doesn't handicap us right now and we have wiggle room. We don't have a talent like Revis on this roster and I think we need it.

Revis isn't saying he needs to be appeased. Any idiot with a twitter account can claim hat Revis needs to be appeased. Red carpet, yes, you roll it out for him. As you do when you bring in any FA. What you don't do is get all pissy because you traded him away or because he signed with the Pats and act like your doing the player a favor. He's a FA and you have to do what it takes to sign FAs. It's how it works and if they really want him it's what they will do. That's not appeasing

I wouldn't Pay Revis 15-16 per in 2012, and I wouldn't pay him 15-16 per now. That practically takes us out of the Revis chase but so be it.....

I'm on the fence on this one. The guy is a talent, and rebounded from injury. I just don't think the Jets should spend a ton of FA money on him. If the price is right, go for it, but he's greedy, great...but greedy. He kind of pissed me off when he was with the Jets, not because of his play, but his greed. It's almost like he's become a rent a player or hired gun, for a team that thinks they can get to the Super Bowl.

I wonder what some of these creative ideas are? Hiring a plane and flying over his house and dropping money from the sky?

Hey, the guy's one of the best five or so players in Jets history and he'd help fix our biggest weakness, so it's certainly worth exploring bringing him back as an option.
If Revis is available on Tuesday, how high would you be willing to bid? Someone in the media predicted this week that he'd re-sign with the Patriots for three years at a maximum of $36 million. Would you be willing to go higher than that? If so, how high? I might be willing to go three years at $42 million, since we don't have to pay big money to a QB.

We don't have a talent like Revis on this roster and I think we need it. i think the whole salary cap scheme needs to be looked at a few years out. they haven't made a deal with wilk yet and three years out richardson will be wanting a big pay day and depending on how good geno may be or if they draft mariota then the qb's cost also needs to be factored in. if they can get revis for 3 years at 42m or so then maybe it all works out. as you said, the money is there and they should spend it. they still need to see about getting a guy like mccourty or iupati or whomever else they are targeting in free agency.

While the "giving him whatever he wants" talk is scary, all we have to be able to do is pay him more than the Pats...period. The Pats WON'T go up to 15-16M and I don't believe we will either.
Signing Revis now would be sweeter than ever before because we would simultaneously be CRUSHING the Pats by taking him off their roster. You can bet he's not negotiating with them right now, he has all the leverage. Here's how current "negotiations" are going: "oh you want me to take less without entering FA? I think I'll take that $20M salary you signed me at, or you can just bid against everyone else in FA...ttyl bitches!"
Yes he won a SB with the Pats...that was probably more Idzik's fault than anything. WE traded him two years ago, he is allowed to do what he wants, to say you don't want him anymore because he "slept with the enemy" is childish. You know what I want? I want to win. Sure you have to take into account Revis' annoying past with re-negotiating, but you can't discount him altogether.

I pretty much feel the same way. I blame that fucker Idzik more than anyone. The filthy cocksucker.
