NFL Notes: Darrelle Revis, Jets, Raiders, Saints, Seahawks

Darrelle Revis

• According to Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald, Patriots HC Bill Belichick told veteran CB Darrelle Revis a few years ago that he didn’t think a move to safety would work, as his skillset may not translate to the position.
• Guregian  writes that if Revis truly wants to resurrect his career and is motivated to do so, then New England is “the only place for him.”

Jets

• According to Rich Cimini, the Jets will likely target a cornerback early in the draft, despite signing Morris Claiborne to a contract last week.
• Cimini believes cornerback the Jets could draft a cornerback in either the first or second round of this year’s draft.

Raiders

• Shortly after he signed with the Raiders, former Vikings WR/KR Cordarrelle Patterson attempted to recruit veteran RB Adrian Peterson to join him in Oakland. (Ben Goessling of ESPN)
• Although, recent reports have said that the Raiders are “strongly considering” acquiring retired RB Marshawn Lynch either by trade or by his release. (NFLTR)

Saints

• Herbie Teope of the Times-Picayune reports that the Saints have a representative at Kansas State Sunday working out DE Jordan Willis.

Seahawks

Former Seahawks K Stephen Hauschka was asked about Seattle’s decision to move on from him and instead bring in Blair Walsh as his replacement.

“I thought it was interesting that direction that they would go in,” Hauschka said, via the Buffalo News. “But I’m not really concerned about that anymore because my job’s just to go out there and kick and that really doesn’t have anything to do with me now. But, yeah, it was definitely an interesting move.”

The Seahawks elected to take the cap savings by parting ways with Hauschka and signing Walsh to a lower salary.

“I just think that at the end of the day, football is a business and teams are going to do what they need to do to get victories,” Hauschka said. “And if that means maybe saving a little money on that position, then so be it.”
