The New York Giants and the New York Jets are squaring off this weekend in a showdown that’s imperative to both teams’ playoff hopes. They only play once every four years, but because they have to share the New York (and New Jersey. And parts of Connecticut.) spotlight, there is a built-in rivalry there. The [...]
Remember 2007? Remember when San Diego Chargers CB Antonio Cromartie was a one-man wrecking crew in the defensive backfield? Kind of a long time ago. Last year, Cromartie played for the New York Jets and was actually pretty good. Especially when you consider teams like to avoid Darrelle Revis and pound it on the other [...]
When we talk about “shutdown” NFL cornerbacks, a few names come up. The big argument is always between New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis and the Oakland Raiders’ Nnamdi Asomugha. And despite his age, Champ Bailey from the Denver Broncos still gets in the discussion. But what about this season? How about a guy named [...]
If the New York Jets are going to take out the Miami Dolphins this week, they’ll have to do so without some key players. As Mike Berardino of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel points out, several big names are listed as “out.” “Pace and Revis still listed as “out … C Nick Mangold (shoulder) didn’t practice, [...]
For those of you who thought about sitting Randy Moss this week because of his showdown with Darrelle Revis, you made a mistake. Revis left Sunday’s game against the Patriots and hasn’t returned. After having hammy issues this week, Revis tweaked it again chasing Moss on a deep pattern. At this point, it’s not looking [...]
If it seems like we are a little heavy on the football posts lately, it’s only because it’s the greatest damn sport on the planet next to women’s field hockey (which we don’t cover nearly enough). But anyway, it seems like the New York Jets are going to rush newly signed CB Darrelle Revis as [...]
Let us preface this by saying that this seems to be one writer’s speculation. We kept looking for a quote or a source in this story and didn’t find one. But, Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports says that if the New York Jets don’t come to an agreement with all-world CB Darrelle Revis soon, the [...]
While guarantees have still not been finalized and that essentially means that the deal isn’t done, but someone with knowledge of the situation tells the Newark Star-Ledger that the New York Jets and center Nick Mangold have agreed to a seven-year, $55 million contract. One would have to think that Mangold will get more than [...]
According to Bob Glauber of Newsday, the New York Jets are close to signing center Nick Mangold to a long-term deal. That’s generally believed to be the case. But, according to Glauber, that is most certainly not the case with CB Darrelle Revis, despite what Tim Cowlishaw has said. Sources tell Glauber that the Jets [...]
Dallas Morning News columnist Tim Cowlishaw is standing by his report that the New York Jets and CB Darrelle Revis are close to coming to an agreement and that the deal will probably be announced on Wednesday. “@NickSpano i was told they will announce it this week, not def wednesday but probably wednesday. This person [...]
Oakland Raiders CB Nnamdi Asomugha might be the best cornerback in all of football. Darrelle Revis got a lot of press last year and rightfully so. His team was better, he was playing out of his mind, and stupid QB’s still threw the ball his way, allowing him to shine even more. They stopped throwing [...]
According to Gary Meyers of the New York Daily News, the New York Jets and holdout cornerback Darrelle Revis aren’t even close to coming to an agreement on a new contract. How far is “not close?” Try $40 million. Meyers says that the two sides each have 10-year contract proposals on the table, but that [...]
The New York Jets are now nine days into training camp. That’s nine days without CB Darrelle Revis, who as you may have heard is holding out for more money. So, how long can he hold out? Could he possibly miss the entire season? Will he play for the Jets in 2010? “My gut feeling [...]
Everyone made it very clear that New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis wasn’t officially a holdout until 5:00 PM on Sunday. And until that point, he wasn’t a holdout. Ummm….now, he is. “We waited until last possible minute with hope of getting something done. Darrelle won’t be there,” Revis’ camp told the New York Daily [...]
This is annoying. Every year some NFL player says that they are prepared to hold out for as long as it takes in order to get a new deal. And every year, that player eventually caves when it comes to costing him paychecks and/or a year of accrued service. So when we saw Manish Mehta’s [...]
The New York Jets and D’Brickashaw Ferguson have apparently agreed to a six-year, $60 million contract, according to Adam Schefter. “Whoa: Jets reached agreement with OT D’Brickashaw Ferguson on a six-year, $60 million extension that includes $34.8 million in gtd money,” he tweets. The left tackle made his first Pro Bowl in 2009 after being [...]
We all know by now that New York Jets cornerback Darrell Revis isn’t happy with his contract. On Monday, he sat out minicamp drills pretending to be lightheaded and/or injured, depending on what you believe. But, the Jets don’t seem to be in any hurry to get a contract extension in place with Revis (and [...]
NY Jets CB Darrelle Revis isn’t happy with his contract, that much we know. But even though he is physically at the Jets minicamp, on Monday he sat out some drills in order to protest. Revis has said that the reports of him wanting $20 million per year are not true, and we believe him. [...]
The New York Jets better win a Super Bowl this year. They have brought in a ton of top talent in the last couple years like Bart Scott, Santonio Holmes, Braylon Edwards and Antonio Cromartie.
New York Jets all-world CB Darrelle Revis is reportedly “furious” over the team’s offers to sign him to a long-term contract. Revis is, at the very least, the second-best cornerback in the league (Nnamdi Asomugha?) and he’d like to be paid like it.
The New York Jets have traded a conditional third-round pick to the San Diego Chargers in exchange for used-to-be stud CB Antonio Cromartie. The Jets just cut Lito Sheppard and would like to have another good corner to go opposite Revis Island. The Jets are taking a bit of a gamble with some of Cromartie’s [...]
We just happened to be talking to some people about New York Jets CB Darrelle Revis tonight. And we just happened to do some YouTube searches for some of his plays. And we just happened to come across this amazing pick of his off of JaMarcus Russell. Check it out:
Oakland Raiders all-world CB Nnamdi Asomugha says that he’d like to play for the New York Jets along side all-world CB Darrelle Revis. That’s fine. He also said that he’s spoken to head coach Rex Ryan about it. That’s not fine. That’s tampering. “Me and Revis have been talking to Rex to try to do [...]
The overrated New England Patriots might be in some trouble this weekend when they kick off against the Atlanta Falcons. All week the Patriots were wondering if Wes Welker would be healthy enough to play on Sunday. Now they have to worry if Randy Moss will be ready to go. PHOTO CAPTION: The middle of [...]
