Per one report. Yet to be really confirmed but NFL NETWORK has acknowledged the report

Word is leaking out the Pats are trying to put together a trade offer for Revis the Jets will find hard to say no too.

I can't see a Pats-Jets trade for Revis.

1.  Intra-divisional trades for top players are alway sticky.

2.  BB isn't likely to want Mevi$.  Yes, he did trade for Fat Al, but that deal was for a low draft pick with little cap hit for NE, (Redskins took the horrible cap hit).   

I'm not seeing that trade happening either(Revis to NE). Especially with Revis' constant demands to be paid. New England doesn't play that. Just ask their newest victim.

If Belichick and Brady see a 3 year window of "one last run at this " before they ride off into the sunset....I could see them making a play for Revis via trade

If BB only thought short term, WW would have been franchised.

fair point

I don't doubt why NE would want to make the trade. I doubt why NY would make that trade.

Because nobody else is offering them anything. And they can't franchise him. So take anything now or let him walk a year for now and get nothing

Still nothing for Revis. I wonder what offers they are getting for him?

Peter King reporting that TB is willing to give up a 1st and 2nd round pick in 2014 for Revis. Jets want the picks THIS year.

Looks like a compromise could be had there, one pick this year one pick next year and this gets done.

Interesting twist to the Revis trade. If Tampa wants Revis they might have to take a garbage QB from the Jets as well, specifically Mark Sanchez and his big contract.

From the article... "the discussions between the Jets and Bucs have included the possibility of the Buccaneers assuming the contract of quarterback Mark Sanchez."

Here's what seems most likely...

New York GM:  "You know, we could probably go easier on our asking price if you would be willing to take Mark Sanchez in the deal."

Tampa Bay GM: "Bwahahahaha...wait, are you serious?"

New York GM:  "Hey, I had to ask..."

Tampa Bay GM: "Yeah, that's just not gonna happen."

Imagine if TB takes Tebow.

Surely they cannot be that stupid.

Unless the Jets can move Sanchez and keep Tebow,..... I think if Tebow is cut by the Jets he might have to sit out this year in the NFL. I'm not so sure another NFL team will sign him at this point. He is a side-show circus that no team wants.

Tampa would be the second best spot for Tebow after Jacksonville

^^^ That is like saying do you want a horse or cow turd for dinner. There is no good spot for Tebow in the NFL. Besides Tampa isn't giving up on Freeman so why would it be good for Tebow?

Just because a team is located in the state of Florida doesn't automatically make them a "good fit" for Tebow  ::)

Locality = Asses in the seats.

That has nothing to do with Tebow. So I say once again, how is it good for Tebow?

Besides, They may get people for 1-2 games then the Tebow draw is going to wear off because he won't be playing.

1) Not for a back-up/Bench guy who will never play

2) Tampa isn't having issue selling tickets

 ::)

Asses in the seats is good for the team, not Tebow.

Really?  Then how come they are getting blacked out almost as often as Jacksonville?

Putting Tebow in a baseball cap holding a clip board NOT playing doesn't solve ticket sale problems IF there are any. This notion that all Tebow fans just show up and blindly buy tickets to watch him do nothing is misguided.

Many actually do and as marketing shows his jerseys do very well. His fans have followed him.

The novelty has begun to wear off! In fact many say its dead. By not playing last year his career/popularity has taken a hit. Have you heard one peep about him this offseason with all of the QB shuffling going on? Not one  thing.

We still hear about him all the time in Orlando but I do realize that's pretty biased. He owns a local training facility with Chipper Jones so it seems he's always relevant about something.

I never thought Tebow would amount to be a good NFL QB, but I always felt like he deserved a chance after what he did in Denver. The Jets robbed him of a year of development with their hilarious incompetence, and I think that more than anything is why no team wants to go near him.  He had interest after the Denver season and his stats didn't change because he just held a clipboard all last season.

I think once NY releases him this offseason, some crappy team will scoop him up as a 3rd stringer and eventually give him a shit. I don't think he will have success, but he deserves the opportunity that NY robbed from him.

He robbed himself.

He had the opportunity to request JAX instead, where he would have had a nearly-guaranteed shot at the starting job to prove himself a legitimate NFL starter.  Instead, it seems like he figured, "Sanchez got the Jets to the AFCC game twice, and I'm better than him, so I should go there and repeat what I did in Denver," without paying any attention to the endless media circus that the Jets have been since Rex took over.

I don't think Tebow's story is over. No one certainly predicted the last three years so I find it hard to believe they got it right now.

I think they had one home game on TV last year.

Best Freudian Slip ever!

Reports are coming out that Tampa is backing away because the Jets are asking for THREE picks.  Talk about greedy

without knowing the medicals, if he is healthy he is worth it. If the rehab is coming along slow then they will have to settle for 2 picks probably

For a guy who is gonna cost a boatload of money and is coming off a major injury, I wouldn't give up two picks.  I don't care how good he was.

And that's why your future as an NFL GM looks bleak  ;)

If you were one of my students, I'd flunk you for that comment  :D

Exactly. If he was the FINAL piece to a championship team, fine. He's not. Coming off a major injury with ridiculous contract demands = not worth the headache.

Schedule comes out in 10 min, USA Today just leaked Bucs @ Jets Week 1

lol

It's about to go down.

Jets gonna have 2 first round picks on Thursday night. Interesting to see if they take a QB with one of them

Just got a B/R that the Bucs have agreed in principle to the trade.

Pending a physical the trade is complete.

TB to pay Revis $15 mill a year

Jets are going to get "multiple" draft picks in return from TB

How Tampa fell for this, I'll never know.

Agree completely...Tampa got hosed.

I'm just glad my beloved 49ers were smart enough to stay the hell away from this deal.

Bucs sent their 2013 first rounder and their 2014 4th rounder for Revis, then signed him for 6 years/$96 Million with NO guaranteed money. Yes, NO guaranteed money.

Sounds fine to me for the Bucs.

I think EVERYONE is a winner in this trade. 

TB gets the best CB in football. Jets get a 1st and a 4th (probably a 3rd round pick) for a guy who is gonna leave after the season anyway. And Revis will be in Tampa for AT LEAST 2 years meaning he has AT LEAST $32 mill guaranteed. TB isn't giving up a 1st round pick for a guy to stay one year then cut him!!

Great deal for all parties!

It's an easily voidable deal...if they aren't happy after this season or next, they cut him loose.  That type of deal makes it a little more palatable, imo.

Still glad my Niners didn't go after him though...

If TB gives up a 1st and a 4th  for a guy to play 1 year and then cut him then that owner is gonna fire everyone involved and he should.  A 1st and a 4th for a one year rental player is beyond stupid!

TB will hold onto him for at least 2 years. And in this league no deal really goes too much beyond 2 years before teams take a second look and restructure or cut a guy.

Realistic hypothetical scenario in which this turns out to be a one-year rental and no one gets fired: 

Revis ends up having more problems with the knee, problems that weren't foreseen by anyone but seem likely to continue  You don't fire a GM for a player having health issues, and this "no guaranteed money" contract means they could cut him loose after one year. While TB would still be out the draft picks involved, they'd be off the hook for his ridiculous salary.

Only person who might get fired in that "perfectly reasonable" scenario is the team doctor who gave the green light on Revis' health.

I believe the GM would still get fired for making a risky trade involving a 1st and a 4th round pick

^^^ And I believe...check that, I am "certain," that the GM and the owner likely had extensive conversations about Revis' health, prior to making the trade.

In my scenario, the GM doesn't get fired...done and done.

I'm sure they did have an extensive conversation, but if (when) the heat comes down on the franchise the owner isn't going to make himself the fall guy, he ain't going nowhere. The GM will take the fall for things if this trade goes bad.
