Darrelle Revis is perhaps the most valuable defensive back in league. So much so that the New York Jets entire defense basically hinges on that one cornerback. Anyone want him?
A source says that the Jets are open to trading Darrelle Revis. Possible reasons for the trade? It could be related to the many contract disputes between the team and Revis during their time together. It could be due to the fact that his contract expires after next season and he can't be franchise tagged due to a clause. It could be salary cap issues. Heck, it could be injury concerns and whether or not paying someone with a question mark in health is a wise move. The six year veteran corner played in just 2 games in 2012 due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
A #1 receiver's worst nightmare is available. What team wouldn't want this shut down corner on their team? It just seems shocking that the team would actually be willing to trade him. Rex Ryan talks about him like it's his jersey his tattoo wife is wearing. The new GM John Idzik and Owner Woody Johnson obviously don't mind taking the team in a new direction. Not with the quarterback just yet but with their defense.
Who will get Revis and what will the Jets get for him will come in time, but there is no doubt that he will be the biggest off season story outside of the NFL Draft.
