For the uninitiated, Revis' camp runs very sophisticated media leak campaigns. I don't believe a goddamn tweet about him until he signs. And whatever contract he signs will be good for 2 years max.

It seems pretty good strategic maneuvering to say you want to sign with the pats. Since theres a perception that people are willing to sign for less money to play here, thus making other teams feeling they have to throw more money at the solution because they're a less attractive destination.

If the Raiders sign Raji, the Saffold deal ends up being almost impossible to get the full amount of money, they sign that Jets RT, sign DRC, grab a few DTs, grab a WR and announce Menelik Watson as the new stud LT I'll call today a wash

So do agents just call up La Canfora and tell him some BS rumor to drive up the value of their clients?

LaCanfora is really good at leaking picks on draft day, I haven't found him to be particularly reliable for anything else beyond that.

Completely agree with this. Revis is actually a very easy guy to predict what he's going to do and he's completely honest about it.

Raji has nothing left IMO, and he'll probably end up overpaid. I think Reggie is looking for a lot of things in players that aren't "is a good player." It's bumming me out.

Some people are "get you breakfast" guys. Some people are "get me breakfast" guys. I've been saying it every day, said it to my wife yesterday. Guy in the mailroom shows up 2 minutes late every morning, leaves at about 4:45. I know it because I see him outside my window. He's a "get you breakfast" guy. And that's why he's still in the mailroom. Aqib Talib.. will not get you breakfast. Doesn't play by those rules. Thought he was excellent in New England. Great tackler. Works hard. Been telling my girlfriend this constantly. But at the end of the day, Aqib Talib will NOT get you breakfast. And that's why he's somewhere else right now.

INSULTING THE PACKERS IS NOT AGAINST FORUM RULES, MORON


I wouldn't say Raji has 'nothing left' but he's definitely done in Green Bay. He was frustrated with our defensive coordinator and scheme for years and yet continued to play and never uttered a peep. In the right 4-3 scheme, he could be a very solid player, and he could probably play well until his age 33 season.

Unfortunately for him, his value will never be lower than it is right now, and that's partly his fault for dogging it last season, but as I said, he was just burnt out in Green Bay.

I still like him, and I hope he succeeds elsewhere. If someone can lock him in at a low price for 4 seasons, I expect they'll be very happy about it down the line.
