Revis To Bucs, And Why We Should Rejoice

Revis returning to his old form is a big IF and MAYBE too.

nevertheless, he's MORE solid than our DBs. This is a great pick for the Bucks, it makes it tougher for us, and the reality is he's only ONE man! If he stack up with a SOLID #2WR we'd be straight against them. I can't stand the bucks but even with this addition I feel they still are less of a threat than Atlanta. So I will not under mind his talent but I will do so with his new team that has a QB heading out within the next 2 years.

If Star fell to 13 and Tampa still had the pick, they would've taken him. I'd rather the Jets get him.

If Tampa had Star, I'd be pissed. I rather Tampa settle for a rehabbing Revis than a monster defensive lineman.

Of course I would rather the Jets get him. My point was that the Bucs traded out if their pick, Star fell and he still got selected 1 pick above us.

Bucs won this trade handily...

People are quick to say "what if" to Revis coming back healthy yet won't play the "what if" game with the Jets. The Jets HAVE to nail both of their 1st rounders now...

No guaranteed money? If Revis doesn't play up to his expected level...the Bucs can cut Revis pretty easily. Also, they keep their 1st and 2nd round picks next year AND their cap room so they can rebuild easily next year if Freeman doesn't pan out either. Very good calculated risk.

And even in the long run, the Jets will suck as long as they have no QB and RB, stuck with Sanchez contractually, and have no cap room

The 'No Guarantee Money' clause in that contract won't be there next year, especially for a player of Revis' caliber and greedy motives. If he goes to the Pro-Bowl, mark my words, Darrelle is going to demand a new contract (this one with guaranteed money).

I don't see this happening.

1) I can count on 1 hand the teams that have enough cap space to give Revis a new and improved contract w/o fugging themselves in the butt severely.

2) We all now the he'll pay very little in taxes in FL. I'm pretty sure he's happy w/ his contract and is uber confident he'll be healthy.

I understand that Revis will help their secondary if he comes back 100%. But lets not say their secondary will be good just because he is there. After all, Tampa gave up more passing yards than anyone in the league. 69 plays of 20 yards or more. They averaged giving up right at 8 yards a completion.

They will be better but lets not go nuts assuming they will be great.

Our secondary was supposedly so bad yet we gave up 6.9 yards a completion and only 38 plays of 20 yards or more and 1200 less yards over the season.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By strato · Posted

      I look at it like get on top of the situation. Stay ahead of it. If it costs you a year of not drafting a starter at number three WR in the first so be it. We need new blood there in 2027 if not 2026, and need to get some OL on rookie deals.   At the same time the big picture is considered, we have a QB that has yet to earn an extension and you can go glass half full if you want but he had about half the good games that he needed to have. Fewer, IMO, but the point is he is not a lock to earn an extension.    Which would really put next year’s number one in play for QB and take OT off the table. So I think it needs to be on the table this year.

      https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-line-success-why-building-through-the-nfl-draft-is-the-key   Conclusions drawn This article took a deep dive into evaluating recent offensive line trends regarding the draft and free agency while incorporating team success into the equation. Here are the biggest takeaways:   The best offensive lines in football (PHI, DET, TB) were built through the draft in the early rounds Other teams (most notably LAC) are following the same approach in team building Offensive line is something a team should target in the early rounds (1-3), as the success rate significantly declines in the later rounds both in the short and long-term Offensive tackles have a higher success rate through the draft than interior offensive linemen, regardless of round Acquiring free agent offensive line does have its benefits, particularly for elite units filling one hole. Interior offensive is typically the way to go Top-end offensive line talent is far less likely to be available via trade or free agency compared to other positions year to year, only emphasizing the importance of the draft   My words: we were forced to make some big signings on interior after years of poor OL drafting and neglect. It worked but isnt sustainable. We need to get right. Drafting tackles high is a successful formula. We need to start now to have any hope going forward.
