The guy is a ****ing mercenary at this point in his career.
Are we gearing up for the Alex Smith super bowl run? I don't ****ing think so, Fonzie.

This guy is really asking "why?" to adding Revis.... I'm not even mad, I'm impressed...

So they really don't think much of Cooper, Gaines, Flemming or Owens....I wonder if Branch is still in the works?

The best way to save money is to sign Houston long-term. You can get his $13M cap number down to $5-6M which can help you afford Revis. You can also backload Revis' contract, which I'm sure would make him do backflips. Revis interestingly enough has played most of his career under mostly non-guaranteed contracts. |

I am not super excited about Revis.
He is good, and is a star, and as we know stars get calls/leeway. |

If you can get him for a decent price, sure.
If he thinks he's getting Smith money, no.

Why are you so enamored with Alex Smith's contract and the Chiefs' ability to cut him? Do you honestly think he's going anywhere any time soon? The Chiefs have no realistic heir to Smith. Unless Winston or Mariota drop they won't have one this year. If the Chiefs continue to do well, they won't be atop a draft board in the near future to sniff a pure franchise QB, so the best you can hope for is a 2nd or 3rd round type that Reid feels he can develop on the bench for a couple seasons. By then, Alex's contract is up. I'd seriously not worry about Alex Smith's contract. Even then, even if the Chiefs' restructure him, I've already shown you that he remains a cut option in the years you continue to reference. In fact, the only year that will really be a factor is 2017, and they'd save 6.98 million instead of 9.7 million if they did cut him. They cannot cut Smith in 2016 no matter what they do. **** man, the restructure of Alex Smith is a good deal for right now and really doesn't affect the future like you think it somehow will. Give up beating that drum bud. |

Revis is an interesting case. He chose bigger money on non-guaranteed contracts. Huge risk, since one injury could have lost him a LOT of money. But now he's at an age where I'm sure his top concern is getting paid while he's in his 30's. He'll want a deal that's long-term, not short-term like he's always taken. The Pats won't give him that. |

I don't care how much money they SAVE in 2017 if cutting him leads to $10M in dead money. That's a bad way to do business. People have to keep in mind that if they thought $17M per year for him was too much, they're not going to be happy when it start to cost them $20M per yea. |

The Boston Herald reports the Patriots are allowing CB Brandon Browner to "explore his value around the league."
Monday is the deadline for the Pats to exercise Browner's $1.9 million team option. If they do, Browner then takes home a $2 million roster bonus on Tuesday. He'd come with a $4.8 million cap number for 2015, something the Pats want to reduce. It sounds like they'll cut him loose absent a reduction. Cutting Browner would be a sign the Pats are planning for Darrelle Revis to return for a second season in New England. Source: Boston Herald Mar 9 - 2:11 PM

Market for Browner is probably north of the $4.8 million he'd be paid by the Patriots, so he should probably HOPE to get cut.
Meanwhile, on Revis, the deadline is pretty much 4:00 today I guess. Quote:

@JasonLaCanfora: Darrelle Revis situation still predicated on guaranteed $. Would NYJ/KC guarantee all of a 3yr/$42-$45M deal? Tough for NE or most teams...
@JasonLaCanfora: All things being equal, if it comes down to avg/yr being close, NE in great position. Question remains would a team guarantee all 3yrs?

Guarantee a 3 year deal worth $45 million? I'm leaning no.
