Report: Jets Pressing The “Pause Button” On A Darrelle Revis’ Trade

Update:

ESPN’sย Sal Paolantonio reports, via Pro Football Talk, that the Jets are pressing the โ€œpause buttonโ€ on the trade that would send CB Darrelle Revis to the Buccaneers.

Paolantonio conforms that the Buccaneers are willing to offerย โ€œmultiple picks”ย in return for Revis, which does include theirย 2013 first-round pick.

  • Peter King wrote in his Monday Morning Quarterback column that the Bucs are willing to part with as much asย first-, third-, and fifth-round picks for Revis.
  • King adds that he’s not sure if any of these picks would be 2014 selections.
  • If the Buccaneers were to keep their No. 13 overall pick, King believes they could targetย West Virginia WR Tavon Austin.

While the Jets may in fact be pressing theย โ€œpause buttonโ€ย on a Revis’ trade, it still seems likely that a deal will gain traction in the days leading up to the draft, which has been the expectation all along. New York has less incentive to trade Revis now, so it makes for them to wait and hope another team enters the picture and is willing to offer a competitive deal.

Update:

Rich Cimini of ESPN New Yorkย confirms that the Jets organization is still upset withย Darrelle Revisย decision to opt to have the Giants teamย doctorย perform his knee surgery.

Revis was reportedlyย “chafed” by the team approaching him regarding the matter, which only adds to the growing list of disputes between the two sides.

While this isnโ€™t a major issue at this point in time,ย it goes to show that the relationship between both sides continues to deteriorate.

Recent reports suggest the Buccaneers would be giving away their first, third and sixth-round pick in the 2013 draft in exchange for Revis, so hopefully there will be a resolution in the comings days.

Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reports that theย Buccaneers are in factย willing to include their No. 13 overall pick in a trade for CBย Darrelle Revis,ย but theย Jets are reportedly looking forย โ€œa lot moreโ€ than that.

  • Ian Rapoportย reports that theย Jets and Buccaneers are “closer than ever” to reaching an agreement for Revis.

Florio adds that it remains unclear what the Jets total asking price is for Revis, Florio mentions that they could be looking for a similar package as the Vikings received for Percy Harvin, which included aย 2013ย first-round pick , a 2013ย seventh-round pick and a third-round pick in 2014.

Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Timesย is reporting theย Darrelle Revisย trade talks are being held up over a single pick.

The New York Jets have informed the Buccaneers any trade for Revis nothing less than Tampa’s first-round pick (13th overall) this year. Reports say the Bucs were willing to trade a 2014 first-round selection, but the Jets want the pick sooner.

The Jets, already with the ninth overall pick in the draft, are looking to stock up on young talent. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers are hellbent on acquiring a defensive play maker, but general manager Mark Dominik has to decide whether the price is worth surrendering the selection.

Yahoo Sportsโ€™ Jason Coleย has been told by sources that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have been actively involved in theย Darrelle Revisย discussion for quite some time now, may be growing โ€œimpatientโ€ with the New York Jets to make a move.

Not only is Tampa reportedly willing to give up a first-, third- and sixth-round pick for Revis, Cole also states the team would be willing to pay upwards of $15-16 million annually for the talented 27-year-old defensive back.

  • Rich Ciminiย reports that any team trading for Revis willย be responsible for the $1 million roster bonus he was paid last month.
  • According to a report by Tony Pauline, if the deal is to be done, it would happen prior to the NFL Draft. The Buccaneers would want the move done prior to the draft so they would have time to give Revis a team physical.

The Jets are apparently open to trading Revis and his large salary, according to team ownerย Woody Johnson. Dating back nearly a month, it appears that the Buccaneers have been the only club sincere about bringing in the six year NFL veteran.

Should the Buccaneers and Jets fail to come to terms, there is always a chance Revis could sign with a team via free agency. That option may be the more likely possibility, as Revis can opt out of his current deal at the end of this upcoming season. Should he elect to do so, the Jets will be unable to franchise tag him.
