that thinks getting the 13 overall for Revis, a player who is a giant question mark coming off of ACL surgery, was getting a lot for him?
Cannizzaro trashed the trade today, saying Jets got fleeced. Francesa was ripping the Jets too, though it's hard to imagine a circumstance where he wouldn't.
Don't get me wrong, Revis has been an untradeable type talent the first 6 years of his career. But we're not trading the last 6 years, we're trading the next 6. How does he project forward? If IBN is right, and the guy's lost not one, but three or four steps, how precipitously would his trade value drop when it's clear he's merely a good CB?
I can live with the fact that the Jets are moving on. There's another Pro-Bowl CB on the roster still, and Kyle Wilson has made great progress. Revis has managed to be a distraction as well, with 3 holdouts in 6 years. I'm not going to say he's a "me first" guy, but he sure didn't provide the type of leadership that kept the other guys in line as the team was coming apart at the seams the last couple of years.
Worst case, Revis is the Revis of old, and the Bucs will have gotten the better of the deal. But that doesn't mean the Jets would've won anything of significance with him. Too many holes to fill
Best case, Revis has fallen off, and we just fleeced the Bucs out of a top-13 pick, which could easily be a 10 year starter, if not Pro Bowl or All Pro type player. Now let's see what Idzik can do.
