He's trolling everyone. This must have gone over big with Stephen A and Kellerman:
You go brotha Bawb; and lubricate when you do.
Revis: Back to the Future?
- Thread starter tims4wins
- Start date
That's totally fair - tweak the numbers so he comes out ahead of the six million if he plays the whole season. My larger point was that the only way this works is if pride motivated him regardless. Compared to what he is used to, the huge money contracts are in the past.
If they really want him the answer is not to pay more in 2017, it's to guarantee something for 2018...that is new money for Revis. If you structure the right way, it may not even get in way of him being a FA again if he does well I'd guess---though would need to work through how that happens (one thought is something like his prior deal, with a high guaranteed salary for 2018 if Pats exercise option and a mil or two if they decline)
Well yeah, future guaranteed money is going to be appealing to him.
But no team SHOULD do that - because he's older, and was absolutely terrible last year. You don't want to start creating future dead money for players like him (although future dead money is a lot less meaningful with cap rollover)
His 'play' last year in KC was embarrassing. Have to admire how he was able to get big payday after payday.
