Seems he underestimated the depth of the draft class and how the new rookie contract structure makes them even more attractive

 

[Dogs Of War]

Bengals will have to play some 3-4 to get the most out of him. Interested to see the amount they pay him, I have a feeling he cost himself a lot of money turning down Pittsburgh's pay cut.

Yeah, it's why he hasn't put pen to paper yet. Cause Danbry is out their as well, I think we are trying to be as cheap as possible to secure one or the other.

As for the 3-4. It's not required given how well out front 4 play, we just need another threat coming from the LB core which would put us over the top.

Bengals and former Steelers LB James Harrison agreed to two-year deal. It was, in word of one source, a "process."

man those raiders really know how to wheel and deal.

who can forget all those picks and money they gave for randy moss, then watched him dog it for 2 or 3 years, then traded him away for a 4th rounder to the pats and then watched him return to superhuman wr territory.

now they gave away a 1st and 2nd rounder and mega bucks for palmer, then watched him play average for 1.5 seasons, then traded him away for a 7th rounder to the cards.

no wonder these guys are always at the bottom of the barrel.

.

Randy Moss was the best receiver in the game at that point and had been for a number of years, what, you think they could've nabbed him a with a 5th rouner?

And Moss was rarely100% at the Raiders and the whole team went downhill and Moss happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, and the fact that in 2007 Moss producedone of the greatest ever seasons for a WR (probably the best ) at NE just shows how little idea you know on the subject.

I will agree that Palmer was an awful trade for what they gave up, and that is not in hindsight, but everyone was scratching trhere heads when the trade was made and what they gave up

Haha, were you stroking yourself when you typed that?

It was an awful trde by the raiders. A wr like moss was the last thing the raiders needed. They had a useless qb and their team was nowhere near a winner. Moss is the last player on earth you want on your team when things aren't going well. That's when he starts dogging it, which is what happened.

Darrell Revis given permission to go to Tampa Bay for Physical.

Looks like trade is coming.

 

[Big Mick]

Now Official:

@AdamSchefter: Trade official: Darrelle Revis passed physical. Bucs send 1st in 2013 and conditional 4th in 2014

What is interesting is it is a 6 year deal with NO guaranteed money at all.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 3m
Darrelle Revis received a 6-yr deal from the Bucs that makes him highest paid DB in NFL history but includes NO guaranteed money. None.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 4m
Darrelle signed six-year, $96 million deal with Bucs. This year he will make $16 million. Makes $16 million each year. Ripped up old deal.

Tampa picked up Darelle Revis this morning.

I pee'd my pants just a little bit

 

[beave]

Sorry mick, for some reason i couldn't see your post, beat me to it mate.

 

[abpanther]

Can someone please explain to me why the Jets wanted to trade Revis?

 

[beave]

There were rumours around that either Sanchez or Teblow were going to also be part of the deal but they were rumours........ Thank christ.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

because the jets got dis.

and they want to get relegated. or move to LA. who the f**k knows.

anyway good pick up for tapa given they have Brees, Ryan and Newton in the division. always helps to have an elite corner.

 

[Monk]

I love watching the jets suck.

 

[zombie jesus]

He basically is a free agent after this season if he had stayed and they would be unable to franchise him. Getting what they can while they can I think.

But why wouldn't they try and sign him long term?

 

[zombie jesus]

No cap room.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

No cap room, plus he wanted to leave anyway

 

[dogslife]

f**k that's a lot of money

Edit: Not so bad if none of it's guaranteed

 

[Big Mick]

No Cap Room to pay him what he wanted to get paid.

So get something for him now instead of getting nothing at the end of the year.

They are rebuilding rather than reloading now.
