Price is too high maybe?

Precisely. The man is seeking 16 to 17 million a year as A corner! My God is he crazy?? 12 mil max but even that is too high especially after an axle where he should be happy he actually still has a chance of playing. What he is doing is a sign of pure selfishness. If he wants 17 mil then go get some endorsements. What a classic case of being a selfish catch u next Tuesday!

I'd rather get Nnamdi in free agency (once he get's released.

 

[scott88]

nobody can afford to give a DB as much money as he's asking

He's most likely to end up somewhere with an ungodly amount of cap space, like Cleveland, Cincinnati, Miami, Indianapolis or Philadelphia. They all have a ton of cap space and have to spend to get to the cap floor, so they might as well spend some on a top CB.

Says who? Where does that come from?

This. There have been numerous articles from media sources about him probably going to ask for that amount, but I have yet to see a direct quote from him asking for that amount. Lots of speculation from the media that many have taken it as him actually saying this.

I mean I can see him asking for $70 or $80 million over say 6 years, but Nnamdi's deal with the Eagles, which occured in over-priced free agency, was only $60 million. So even if you slot Revis in over Nnamdi, which I'm sure he wants, we're not talking $16 million which would be $80 million + over 5 years. That's a huuuuuuuge leap, which just doesnt happen in the NFL.

So this means the only reported teams still interested are us and Denver?

IncarceratedBob does not constitute "reported"

 

[scott88]

It's already been reported that he wants to be paid the highest amount ever for a defensive player

They don't have to spend to the floor this year. The minimum cap spending by team will be calculated on a 4 year average starting with this year. so the league won't even look at it until the end of the 2016 season. It will also be calculated in a different way than the maximum cap is. That is it is done on a cash actually spent basis with no proration of signing bonuses, no "top 51" rule, and all bonus'sor advances paid to any player during the 4 year period. In other words if it was a check written to a player and his agent then it counts towards the minimum cap requirement.

smokescreen

Dont bring your mangled knee here we do not have the draft picks or cap space to watch you warm the bench or run your mouth

 

[SaintBudMan]

I think Nnamdi may be the better deal for us (if the eagles cut him). I believe he will take less than Revis & a Revis trade will cost us a draft pic plus the higher salary.
