j/k...though if it was somehow feasible that would be freaking awesome...
This.
Get it done Mitch... errr
He is injury prone, every year he misses a few games. While I understand he is the best CB in the game, he is not as valuable to a team that can't score. And I remember him holding out every year for a raise. They proved they could defend without him. They need a good defensive lineman or 2, and plenty of weapons on offense. This is how the Giants won, their DL can be dominant that masks up an average secondary, and they have weapons including 1 or 2 great WRs. And of course Eli.
One NFL general manager said the interest in Darrelle Revis is "one of the biggest potential trade markets for a player ever."
"There's a Revis gold rush forming," the GM said. According to CBS' Mike Freeman, the Jets are asking for a first- and second-round pick in exchange for Revis, which certainly wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility if he were healthy. It's a high price for a guy coming off a torn ACL. Teams that have been linked to Revis are the Patriots, Broncos, 49ers, Bills, Seahawks, and Packers, according to Freeman. You can rule out a trade with the division rival Patriots and Bills.
Revis ya gotta go. I love you on my team but your salary demands every couple of years are b!tch. You deserve to get paid as much as you can I understand but it cant be the Jets at this point. 39 mill over the cap at this point.
IMHO no CB is ever worth 17mill a season. Trade him take the cap hit this season let someone else pay him. A franchise QB gets that kind of money no other player should get that much under any circumstances these days.
For those that complains about the 6 mill he's making this season how much did he get paid in the first part of that contract? He's taken 2 front loaded contracts and then complains about the last year utterly ridiculous.
This teams is devoid of talent so lets get multiple picks, a player or 2 and start all over again. This team is old and crusty time to start all over again.

Time to blow this crap up!
No, this one is on the Jets as they knew this situation was going to happen 2 years ago when they were negotiating his contract. The Jets have completely mismanaged their cap situation by giving Mark Sanchez the heavy extension but yet can't afford to pay Revis?
The Jets aren't that bad of a team and with a few moves they can be a playoff team as we all know the NFL is a parity league. With a few roster moves they can actually move themselves into cap flexibility by finding a trading partner for Sanchez(unlikely though), cutting players like Pace, Scott, Smith and Tebow can save them around $21mil in cap space.
I think the highest paid corner in the league is getting paid around 11.5mil, it's not awful by giving him something like $12mil considering what Revis means to the team.
First and foremost the Jets need an answer to the QB position. Sanchez is obviously not that and if they are going to keep Sanchez as their QB then might as trade Revis and get something back as we know Jets aren't winning shit with Sanchez. Not a bad idea actually, get a 1st and/or 2nd rounder, tank for the 1st overall and Jets are in great position for the future.

Sorry there are no moves to make except this one. You obviously dont know the Jets situation because they are more than a few moves away. No QB, No pass rush, No LB's, 2 holes on the OL, 1 decent receiver, 1 decent TE, no RB.
Paying Sanchez mistake, cap situation abysmal.
There is no room to keep this guy. This team is no where remotely close to being a good team.
Just once I'd like to see the Bengals make a big time, bold splash. Revis would help out an average secondary big time, but I doubt Mike Brown would consider opening up the wallet.

Time to dump and go! Rebuild!
I do know the Jets situation well and they aren't that bad of a squad with some nice players at certain positions. Problem is Mark Sanchez is awful considering the fact he's getting payed Franchise QB money which makes the money situation a strain on other positions.
Jets do have holes but it's nothing they can fix through the draft and through FA. If they get rid of Sanchez, Pace, Smith, Tebow and some others they can have around $21mil in cap space, with that amount they can surely fix many of their holes.
At QB get Alex Smith and he'll do everything Sanchez was expected to do and some. He'll also be a cheaper and obviously much better option at QB
RB is usually not a difficult position to fix and it can easily be addressed in the draft through the middle rounds. RB's are a dime in a dozen and a good running game is more dependent on the offensive system and the o-line in place.
WR was a horrible position for NY last year. Santonio Holmes was hurt the majority of the season and that obviously hurt them. Kerley came into his own last season and showed he can be a decent option and there's always the possibility of Stephen Hill a former 1st rounder making strides(He looked awful last year though) Jets can go sign someone like Amendola or Hartline who'll be solid additions and not coming near Jenning's or Wallace's pricetag, even bringing back Edwards at a cheap price isn't bad. A WR core of Holmes, Hartline, Kerley and Edwards isn't bad at all.. And keller is a good TE
The O-line has been poor for the Jets recently and especially at RT(but even Howard isn't that bad) Ferguson and Mangold are two of the best linemen in the game. Investing an early pick in a guard(2nd rounder) and signing someone would be the ideal situation. Wouldn't even be a bad idea going after Brandon Albert and plugging him in at RT.
Pass rush draft someone like Jones, Werner, Jordan or w/e player is there with their 1st pick.
Draft a replacement for Bart Scott in the 3rd round
Sign another LB(Paul Kruger would be sick)
Teams have shown they can retool through the draft and through cheap FA's. Look at what the Patriots did this season or what GB did with their defense.
Knickballer football isnt madden 2012.... all the stuff you talking about doesnt happen in one offseason. The jets are about 39 mill over the cap... This team has no depth currently so if they cut all these players they have to be replaced by someone... There isnt one or 2 moves that can be done. This is a total turnover it will take a minimum of 2 years.
The next thing you have to understand that the Jets dont draft well in the Rex/Tannembaum era. I hope things change.
Your logic just doesnt work in a hard salary cap situation. The Jets should dump Revis for anything they can just to get rid of that money. Sanchez will be gone after next season.
You cant just say pick up this guy or trade for this guy we are OVER the cap.

None of my moves were madden like scenarios.. All were realistic cuts and potential signings.
The jets are currently 22mil under the cap and I don't know where you got the 36mil figure from.
There's some obvious players that if cut/traded they would free up tons of cap for the Jets and the Jets don't lose any talent by getting rid of them. Players like Sanchez, Jason Smith, Pace, Scott, Eric Smith, Tebow, etc. I don't think you realize how much cap that frees up right there(something around 30-40mil).. Someone lake Sanchez would have to be traded and it would be interesting to see if a team bites if NY offers a 3rd rounder for a team to eat his contract up.
That's where the cap space will be generated. I don't think the Jets should go rebuild mode because they do have some good players and some things to work with. The NFL is a parity league where teams can rise from the ashes any season.
Are you assuming Cromartie plays as well as last year? And Landry stays healthy? If not that cap situation is total ass. And why would Revis get $17M? Coming off an ACL tear? It will be less.
The Jet defense is hugely overrated, i'm thrilled Revis will be gone. If a team needs a score to win and the Jet defense has literally given them zero yards the whole game they are still a fifty/fifty proposition to score. Jets fattened up on the shitty teams and got run over by good team.
Re: Jets open to trading Revis
shouldn't 31 teams be interested in revis? what team wouldn't at least dip their feet in the pool so to speak?
