Any interest in Revis?

[CatfanMO]

Cut by the Chiefs. Would be a good guy to plug in for a run?

[Mr. Scot]

Unless we can somehow either make him five years younger or hire him as a defensive backs coach, probably not.

Heck, how many people even knew he played for the Chiefs last year?

[The Huddler]

For me, theres intrest in almost any player. Young, old... known, unkown...

 

it all comes down to price. If its resonable and cheap I see no downside to bring in any player to come in and compete

 

those that are quick to dismiss or turn down a guy without giving much thought are turd brains.

I did, only because I live in MO. He was quiet there except for the batted ball back to Mariota!

Coach or as a rotational player would be perfect.

Last time Panthers had a successful Vet CB they went on in that season to have the most INT's in franchise history & of course  a SB berth?

We are old enough in the secondary with Adams and Coleman. So no

[Anybodyhome]

He was never the same DB after the 2010 holdout ( he got 4 yrs- $46M), then he did it again in 2012 and got traded to the Bucs in 2013. Then he signed a 5 yr- $70M deal. He was due an $8.8M roster bonus in March, which is why he's gone. Not to mention he'll be 33 before the season starts and he only played in 5 games for KC last season.

Short answer- no.

[Ricky Spanish]

He's a man cover corner who is aging out of the position. He doesn't fit us defensively and his price tag will most likely be too high for the production we would get out of him.

Revis Island isn't deserted anymore. A resort built an island where drunk college kids go to party.

He had a very short servicable career, he was good for those couple years...and then he was horrible. I dont know how someone goes completely downhill that fast.

[Harbingers]

Not as a player. To old. And I don’t say that often.

And DBs are a strange animal. A guy has a great year, 5-6 picks, couple of highlight reel-worthy pass defenses, maybe a corner blitz sack or 2 and the next thing you know, everyone is talking about how a QB will never again throw to his side. 

Richard Sherman is a classic case in point. He had phenomenal back-to-back 2012 and 2013 seasons. Since then? Not so much. His short route coverage is good, but will get toasted on the deep ball without help. Plays well in the middle of the field, but out routes and RB wheel routes get the best of him when he has to come up on the LOS.

yea but sherman is still a solid corner, Josh Norman is still a solid corner. I've seen like Nnamdi Asomugha and guys like that who get put on a pedestal based off one or two good years and then turns out they just had a good year and aren't actually good, but even Nnamdi was still a starter, like...Revis went from being the best cornerback Deion Sanders said he'd ever seen...to not even being good enough to be a starter.

This is why I've always said that Earl Thomas was the key to the Legion of Boom. At their peak, they had two big, physical corners who didn't have great range and essentially an undersized LB playing SS. It was Thomas' sideline to sideline range playing over the top taking away the deep third that made it all work.

There's interest in Revis every offseason. and it seems people forget the reasons we never sign him. he's an old diva that is a shell of his former self and is used to getting paid like he's getting his second contract. we can safely dismiss him outright and rest assured we are making the right choice as armchair GMs. 

now im off to see if Hakeem Nicks still wants to play..........
