 |
|
| I have a major problem and a question to anyone who might be "in the know" about what is going on with the whole Darelle Revis situation. I honestly don't know why this hasn't received more press, especially in DC. I could care less that he's holding out. My big problem is why he is holding out. I read yesterday he is holding out because he is only due to make $13.5M over the next 2 years of his deal, while he made $32.5M over the previous two years. He's also only due to make only $3M per dunring the 2014-2016 seasons. I'm not an expert, but it sounds to me like someone FRONT-LOADED a contract here....and during an un-capped year to boot. How is this any different than what we got wrung up for with the salary cap hit we took? Can someone explain that to me? |

| Because Julius Peppers and Matt Schaub and a couple other guys got a bunch of money that year, but their teams didn't have $172 million payroll like the Redskins when most teams were around $120-125 million |

| Understood, but it still gives them a competitive advantage as they now get the services of the best CB in the league for a mere $ 6.75M for the next 2 years and only $ 3M per for the last three.....assuming Revis honors the contract, which as of right now he obviously isn't. |

Simple. The Jets aren't the Redskins. |

| My question is why is he holding out when he obviously knew his salary would be going down on the front-loaded contract he signed? Did he think the Jets were going to come to him after the frist couple of years, and say "hey, let's renegotiate that deal?" |

Does anyone else see the obscene irony here, or am I alone in this??? |
