Report: Revis has not asked Jets for a trade

Posted by Kyle Smith under Darrelle Revis, New York Jets, Rumors on Mar 11, 2013

Revis

ProFootballTalk is reporting that, although there haven’t been any solid negotiations, Darrelle Revis does not wish to be traded by the New York Jets.

The source insists Revis doesn’t wanted to be traded, hasn’t asked to be traded, and has never at any time during his career in New York intimated directly or indirectly a desire to be sent to a new team.

About a week ago, it was all but certain that Revis was on his way out of New York, and it still seems as though the Jets are leaning in that direction.

Brady Quinn is on the Jets’ radar

Posted by Devang Desai under Brady Quinn, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets on Mar 08, 2013

Kansas City Chiefs v Denver Broncos

With only about $8 million to spend in free agency, the New York Jets will take a ‘cost friendly approach’ to create competition for incumbent Mark Sanchez at the Quarterback position.

The New York Daily News’ Manish Mehta reports former Jacksonville Jaguar David Garrard, who worked out the Jets facility last week, and Brady Quinn are on General Manager John Idzik’s radar.

Quinn started eight games for the Kansas City Chiefs last season. The former Notre Dame star threw for 1,141 yards, two touchdowns and eight interceptions for a QB rating of 60.1.

Let the Revis tap dancing begin

When John Idzik became the new Jets general manager, pissing off his best player was surely his top priority. Bravo then, sir.

Whether the Darrelle Revis trade rumors leaked from inside the organization or not is irrelevant. What’s important is that when Revis appeared on NFL Network earlier this week he asked for answers regarding those rumors of his demise in New York, and he was frustrated by a lack of communication. The Jets aren’t a team that can have such a problem with one of the few sources of talent on their roster. Yet there was Revis last month, having to hear about his possible trade through the media instead of from his new general manager.

One way to fix the public perception of a problem is to put Rex Ryan behind a microphone and have him say a lot of things loudly. Or maybe that just makes it worse. So much worse.

Bart Scott is now available for hire

The Jets want you to have all of their players. Just take them, and take them now.

The season of salary purging is very much alive in New York, and it will soon mercifully be followed by the season for irrelevant and useless quarterback jettisoning. But that’s a conversation for another day, unless of course you believe in some kind of warped religion. Then please, discuss.

Today, though, is a day for shedding excess financial weight. That started with the Jets’ widespread axings earlier this afternoon that included Jason Smith, Eric Smith, Calvin Pace, and Josh Baker. With those cuts, the Jets trimmed $24 million off of their payroll, but even then they were still $2 million over the cap, according to ESPN’s John Clayton.

Hmmm, what to do? Maybe — and we’re reaching here — something could be done about a declining 32-year-old linebacker who’s due to make $6.9 million in 2013 during the final season of a contract, and reaching an agreement on an extension seems both unlikely and unwise.

Sounds good. Someone get Bart Scott on the phone.

The Jets’ QB job is “wide open”

Posted by Sean Tomlinson under New York Jets, News-ish on Jan 08, 2013

As it should be. One would assume that when Greg McElroy is deemed the best starter on your roster, the depth chart at the most important offensive position should then be open to anyone who shows greater ability than Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez. Which is to say, anyone.

After officially announcing the firing of Tony Sparano earlier this morning, the long awaited Jets season-ending press conference was held. Rex Ryan surely spent his time behind the podium wishing he was still somewhere on a beach with a lady wearing only a Sanchez jersey, while Woody Johnson reassured everyone that, no, there is not a circus of any kind taking place in his team’s facilities. Ahhh, normalcy.

But there was one notable sound bite, and another one that’s important, yet predictable.
