    Don't know how much the injury effected him, but even so, he is well passed his prime and may need to switch to fs to prolong his career....
    He is about 4 yrs too late to draw interest from us

    Hasn't it been re-named Rikers Island?

    I'll pass. He's not a good corner anymore and hasn't shown much interest in moving to safety. He said himself that he got old which is why he got beat so often.

    Not to mention he is facing felony charges. That's not the kind of guy I'm interested in

    Revis was beyond horrendous last season. I wonder if he'll even be in the league next year.

    Well I mean he IS facing legal trouble so I gueeeesss I could see it but probably not. I think we should take a look at Brandon Boykin. He's one of those guys I've always wanted to see in the Black and Gold and think he could be a real game changer for us.

    Sad to say Blast... but as much as I would want Revis.... I cannot.


    He is not the same as he once was. Besides, facing felony charges does not assist his chances either.

    Yeah I'm assuming the only team who finds his legal situation appealing would probably be the bungles. They need another criminal opposite Pac-Man. Maybe their nickname would be like the Chain Gang or something. Kinda catchy I think.

    Too little and too late. Time for Revis to be put out to pasture. The tank is on E.

    He wasn't all bad, just a terrible start to the season.

    http://jetswire.usatoday.com/2017/01/07/was-jets-cb-darrelle-revis-as-bad-as-we-thought-in-2016/

    As for the charges, they may be dropped, a voice caught off camera was bragging about knocking the two victims out and its not Revis voice.

    True. It was not all bad.


    The bigger question I should have posed was "how much does he have left?" There is only one James Harrison in the league you know.

    Couple of other people too, Florio in this video and teammate Marshal, for what thats worth. I can't tell.

    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/02/20/revis-tape-oozes-reasonable-doubt/

    But like Florio says, there is a voice on tape claiming responsibility, prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that its his voice. This will probably never even go to court.

    I saw the video, the voice you hear bragging isn't Revis.

    Revis even with his age and bad play this past season he would still be as good a DB as the Steelers have ...He could switch to Safety and play at very high level for 3 or 4 seasons ..

    This is kind of how I feel.

    If Im not mistaken, he was dealing with an injury last season too. Definitely worth kicking the tires on, anyway.

    Yep he was hurt and they had him locked up with no help all the time early in the season..As they started helping from time to time and he healed a bit he looked much better....

    Maybe he could be the next Rod Woodson, he did pretty well after a positional change after the age of 30. I'd give him a shot and see what he has in camp.

    Screw him, he should have came here on the 1 year deal to help us win a Super Bowl instead of the Cheatriots. I hope they throw him under the jail.
