Wow Bucs traded the house for Revis

LivnaLieTimay · 04-21-2013, 04:20 PM

I have to say I think the Bucs got a pretty good deal here. 1st and 3rd for Revis is solid as long as he is healthy. They have a lot of cap room and our division is very pass heavy so it was aggressive move that could be very good form them. 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.

I do agree with you on that the Jets should've probably gotten more out of this deal, but they just didn't have the leverage or enough potential suitors to drive up the price.

Still, $16M/yr for a DB is way too much money even if one has the cap space for such a move.

And won't Freeman be needing a new contract soon? Thats gonna be another big hit to their cap as well. The Bucs are gonna be as crippled as we are but at least we have a future HOF QB to show for it.

The way players are restructuring these days, that won't be a problem.

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.

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.
