There have been rumors that the New York Jets will look to trade their best player, cornerback Darrelle Revis, this offseason. While
nothing is determined at this point, it appears to Gary Myers of The New York
Daily News that talks are heading in that direction, and he hears from an NFL
source that it’s likely to get “very ugly” in New York.
“I think it’s going to get ugly, very ugly,” one NFL source said. “You can’t trade your best player. You do everything to keep him. It’s going to get ugly with the player and the agent. I don’t know how you get around it. It’s very difficult.”
The Jets asking price for Revis could be reduced due to the
fact that he’s coming off of a significant knee injury. However, the source
Myers spoke with believes the cornerback will make a full recovery, meaning New
York would get fleeced if they agree to take less for the All-Pro.
If the Jets trade Revis before he gets back on the field and
proves his health, the source expects them to get the equivalent of 75 cents on
the dollar for him. He believes at this point the team would get a first- and
third-round draft pick for Revis, while they could probably get two first-round
picks if he was healthy.
