DeAngelo for Darrelle?

I'm one of, if not the BIGGEST DeAngelo homer on this site... Having said that see exhibits below:

Exhibit A- we already have two solid backs and lack corners

Exhibit B- The Jets lack a Big name solid back, and are trying to trade their star corner

Which leads me to

Exhibit C- This could be a shocker come draft day or perhaps before. The contracts would cancel each other out basically and with Darrelle's injury I'd be willing to say that it's an even trade.

Crazy yes... Possible yes and no... Does it make sense? Absolutely it does, and it takes Revis from a Divisional foe in the process.

Simple answer, no.

Reason why, we can't afford his contract even if we were able to make the trade for him and it would take a first, a third, and Williams to land Revis. On top of that, we have too many needs to throw away draft picks on him. If you want a good corner, look no further than Xavier Rhodes.

Would I want Revis, yes; if he wasn't such an asshole.

No. We don't have the cap space and I don't want the constant contract headaches that Revis brings. Seems like the guy holds out or threatens to hold out every year. Plus, they're wanting a 1st round pick and then some for him, not a RB pushing 30 with an albatross of a contract. It's a bad deal for both sides.

It's been mentioned before.. but trading Deangelo actually cost money. Don't remember the specifics but because of signing bonus and stuff like that.

Pretty sure that trading Darrelle would cost the Jets $ as well.

This possibility makes a lot of sense to me. On the flip side I could play Devil's advocate and say its a horrible idea. I'd just like to generate the discussion. It likely won't happen, but of all the trade propositions that have been mentioned in the media I haven't heard this one. (Not surprising because it involves a Panther) but at any rate, this is an obvious one for one swap.

Whoever stated that we'd have to give up more than just DeAngelo that's just crazy talk.

As for the cap situation... Give Revis DeAngelo's money. We get rid of "dead weight" as many fans put it here. We fill an actual need simultaneously. I'm just throwing it out there.

Maybe if somebody else other than me brought this up it would be received differently? Either way, it's out of the bag, and until Thursday I don't see any reason why we can't all have a healthy and respectful debate about it.

The Bucs reportedly want to trade a first, a third, and a fifth for Revis, and the Jets are supposedly trying to get more out of them.

But yeah, they'd probably rather have an old, injury prone RB for Revis straight up.

Its funny how the media always gets these Blockbuster trades wrong and the details wrong. DeAngelo isn't injury prone either, so lets keep up with the times and have valid points if we're gonna disagree.

I'm gonna laugh when he goes to Cincinnati for a 3rd rndr and conditional picks at the last second. There's always a team not in the reported mix that swoops right in for way less.

Personally if MUCH rather keep DeAngelo than get Revis. I do think its worth noting and bringing up the possibility which exists.

Crazy yes (should've stopped)... Possible yes and no... Does it make sense? Absolutely it does, and it takes Revis from a Divisional foe in the process.

This possibility makes a lot of sense to me. On the flip side I could play Devil's advocate and say its a horrible idea (still should've stopped). I'd just like to generate the discussion. It likely won't happen, but of all the trade propositions that have been mentioned in the media I haven't heard this one (I wonder why). (Not surprising because it involves a Panther) but at any rate, this is an obvious one for one swap. (Lulz)

Whoever stated that we'd have to give up more than just DeAngelo that's just crazy talk (DWill for Revis, straight up, is not crazy talk? Lulz again).

As for the cap situation... Give Revis DeAngelo's money. We get rid of "dead weight" as many fans put it here. We fill an actual need simultaneously. I'm just throwing it out there. (Shouldn't have)

Maybe if somebody else other than me brought this up (I'm sure they did, and we laughed at too) it would be received differently? Either way, it's out of the bag, and until Thursday I don't see any reason why we can't all have a healthy and respectful debate about it. (Insane OP's typically don't get respect for obvious reasons)

I'm gonna laugh when he goes to Cincinnati for a 3rd rndr (After the Bucs offer? Oh yeah, the media and people who may know something got that news wrong. But Dwill for Revis makes sense...) and conditional picks at the last second. There's always a team not in the reported mix that swoops right in for way less.

Personally if MUCH rather keep DeAngelo than get Revis (Hurney?). I do think its worth noting and bringing up the possibility which exists.

A lot more I could've done I'm sure, but you can't turn chicken poo into chicken salad.

You should have just said this:

"I don't really have anything to add to this conversation, so I'll just poke fun at TCF for the lolz and then add a really played out one liner at the end, worth at least 5 Internet brownie points"

When anybody wants to have a legitimate discussion about it PM me. I'm beyond tired of the immature back and forths on this site. Just want to talk about football and possible moves.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight

      There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
