Still, $16M/yr for a DB is way too much money even if one has the cap space for such a move.
Seems like the Clements and Asomghoua deals would have made this point clear to teams. Deion Sanders is the last CB I have seen that would actually be worth this much due to his skill. Teams don't win Superbowls because of the cornerbacks. We did it with guys signed off of the street.

+1. This trade would make more sense to me if it had been the 49ers/Broncos who are a player or two away from winning a SB but not the Bucs. They have a plethora of needs & holes to fill but the cornerback play is only one of many.

Also, no guaranteed money protects Tampa in case Revis has health problems. If Revis he can be a big upgrade to their defense.

Checked Jets and Bucs forums, Jets fans think they got fleeced and should of gotten more, Bucs fans very happy with the deal.
Where have you been Liv? Yeah, the Jets might get some good players out of this deal. Tampa definitely got a real good player. But then there's all the distractions next year with the contract hold out that they will have. I'm just glad they got some one to stir up the hornets nest.

Work has been brutal lately. Annoying having to change the teaching curriculum for these ridiculous standardized tests. Luckily they're almost over.

As for Revis, he is a good player but he focuses on the money part of the game more than most. I'm sure he'll find something to complain about once a different defensive player gets more money than him, it's just the way he is. If he's happy and healthy this is a solid trade for the Bucs. I think the Bucs made an aggressive move that I like. As for the Jets, yeah they didn't get great value but their FO did a terrible job managing this situation. Every team knew they wanted to trade him so they hurt his value.

I will absolutely love watching Brees make him look like Jason David.

Who is the starter opposite Revis? Eric Wright?

Re: Wow Bucs traded the house for Revis

Revis can only cover one receiver. Eric Wright is atrocious and none of their other DB's can effectively cover all of the options we have in the passing game. So go ahead and let them pay Revis $16 million/year to cover Colston while Moore, Morgan, Toon, Graham, Sproles, Thomas, Watson, etc. score TD after TD against them.

Ingram makes less than 2 million/year, Revis is making 16 million/year, and the Bucs gave up an early 1st and a 3rd.

We hardly gave up that much for Mark Ingram.

On the flip side, the Jets are basically saying that it's more important to keep Mark Sanchez rather than the best player on their team.
