I will be pretty mad if Revis signs with the Patriots. Jets have all the money in the world and they're just letting the talent walk on by. I'd hate to get rid of the absurd get-player-at-all-cost mindset of Tannenbaum only to go to the opposite extreme with John Idzik.

ROSS MY SALAD posted:What kind of runner is Donald Brown? He did well this season with the Colts because he gets to the LoS fast and doesn't need a big hole to cut through. He is basically a smallish guy that makes one cut, doesn't really bounce around at all. The pros are that if he has a seam, he can get 8-9 yards when a lot of backs get 4-5. The cons are that he isn't going to create anything or push anyone over. Also he cannot pass block reliably. So if you have a line that can barely create gaps and can't hold them for long, he will excel like he did last year.

CharlestheHammer posted:Yeah but they generally don't sign/take huge contracts on. They aren't allergic to them, they've just generally not had the cap space for the past like 6 years due to home grown/traded players eating up tons of cap space. Over the past five years, they've generally had some combo of Moss, Wilfork, Welker and Mankins near $10m per eating up that prime free agent money. They have brought in two top cost free agents during Belichick's tenure, Adalius Thomas and Roosevelt Colvin, and neither of those exactly panned out. That said, I think signing Revis is a bit unlikely considering the price attached and the purse strings of the other suitors.

Yeah, their 7th and 9th ranked 2014 cap numbers are for their kicker and punter respectively. (Not counting either Ward or Talib, that is.)

Earlier today Mike Tanier was loving around with how dumb Free agency rumors are by fake tweeting about an imminent 3 team deal of Ryan Mallet Steve Smith and a 2nd round draft pick that some pats fans then went around crowing about as proof of Ryan Mallet's value.
