WTF? Why are we not signing ANY cornerbacks by now? Freaking KC signed Sean Smith for LESS than Eric Aderall Wright. Are we putting everything into trading for Revis? Do we not need a 2nd CB? (and a 3rd, and a 4th?). OMG! KC signed both Smith and Dunta Robinson and they did not almost make the history books for most passing yards allowed

I think we are working the best deal possible for EITHER Grimes or Revis…the Jets don’t like our offer and Dom has no motivation to sweeten the deal…yet.

…but if Atlanta is ALSO working on a deal for Revis, keeping Grimes as a fall back position…tells you why we might just be waiting longer for Something to develop.

Schiano NEEDS Revis, because his system requires ManCover CB’s, and John Idzik KNOWS Revis is the perfect fit…we can get by with Grimes, but we really want Revis…but Idzik wants MORE than Dom is offering (and Revis wants more than everyone is offering) and doesnt have enough leferage to get a 1st rounder this year – if the rumor regarding Atlanta’s interest in Rvis is accurate – then Atlanta and the Bucs may BOTH be holding off on offers to Grimes until they see what they can work out to land Revis.

No one has any way of pushing this deal forward because right now…everybody thinks they still have time, can get more, or just plain want more..

Since the Revis thing is a TRADE – and the Grimes thing is about a FA, it would help the Jets to drag this out until Grimes disappears from the market – because they could either get their 1st rounder this year. if the Bucs balk and sign Grimes…then they can tell Revis his value has been determined….kind of like what happened to Michael Bennett…

We’re in a strong position, but we don’t hold all the cards…and the fact that Grimes is still out there tells me he’s 2nd place to everyone wanting Revis.

The fact that Grimes is still out there reinforces this – despite what Dom says/doesn’t say – Revis is his “El Número, Uno”…

Question for Joe and knowledgeable people! After all the carnage to the FA pool, who is left that would really help us? Did I really just hear that Matt Castle chose Vikings over the Bucs? What a dip?

The only way I would give up our first round is if we also got the Jets third round pick. Maybe our 1st and Blount or Benn for Revis and their 3rd.

Capt n, I agree most all you said but methinks you undervalue Golden’s services a tad. He should help out quite a bit over the top. Of course the better the CB’S the more he’s allowed to scheme. I’m for 2 decent cb’s vs 1 diva /mental cancer gimp kneed backfield savior myself. Hell DRAFT a couple and see what you come up with. Heck of am idea right ? lol

@joe I think if we had snagged a corner or two then we would have leverage in the trade opportunity I just think we’re pressing the trade and there stone walling because they know we’re desperate.

Like I told joe yesterday Dom and co. Are waisting time with revis and missing out on valuable pick up because we’re so far up the revis trail that there missing the point on our pressing needs would revis be an upgrade…yes…do we need to throw a vault at him…no…

If Dom can’t shore up our secondary this year then he loses his Rockstar nickname Joe.

We need corners, period. Revis trade or free agency and of course the draft, we need to hit all areas. I’ll be bummed if we just resign Biggers and move on to the draft, it won’t be enough.

I’m for rolling the dice on Revis, let’s see where he is by Saturday when the million dollar bonus kicks in. I’m hoping it’s with Tampa for a #2 and a player (Blount, I would think, as Jets lack RB).

It’s not a one year deal if we trade for him we’re giving him his 5 year deal(so what Im hearing) Revis agents has agreed to the contract it’s just the Jets. They want our 1st this year. The Bucs want to give them our 1st next year.
