Should we sign Derrell Revis

[Mahdi]

His legal issues appear to be over first of all...

Second, I like the idea of a player of his caliber coming off a horrible year and the motivation that he will have to prove himself as one of the top CBs in the game.

When he injured his knee back in 2012 he came back strong and was dominant for the Pats and they rode him and Brady to the SB.

I think he brings intangible qualities and worst case he can be moved to S. He's smart and we need that in our secondary.

Last I think the Bills new defensive scheme is a good fit for him with his reduced athleticism. He will be asked to cover 1on1 less and do more reading from zone coverages.

IMO it would be a great move...

We need a vet at corner and safety. At this point Revis has lost a step, but he wont be asked to play as much 1-1 in our system.

Re: Should we sign Derrell Revis

I'd give it a definite maybe. Depends on the money, and what he has left.

Re: Should we sign Derrell Revis

I think his contract demands (despite being on the downside of his career) will be too high.

There's always some team that will overpay for a 'name' player.

Plus he tends to mentally check out completely when he's not winning.

I'd take him since we need the help at CB. But I'm totally indifferent to where he goes.

It sounds like he really wants to play for the Steelers. Says it would be a dream come true.

No, he is shot.

Re: Should we sign Derrell Revis

Definite no. If you are trying to compete for a championship maybe you take a flyer he has something left but the Bills are better off signing or developing someone who can be a multi-year solution (or at least a potential multi-year solution).

Re: Should we sign Derrell Revis

He should move to safety he can't play corner anymore.

Re: Should we sign Derrell Revis

Depending on the cost, absolutely. Theres no more Revis island, but he could be a mentor to younger guys and I think he could still play well enough to warrant a 5 mill a year deal. I think he will want more than that though

Re: Should we sign Derrell Revis

1 year deal if we're not tanking would be a solid move.... draft Sidney Lewis round 2/3

Re: Should we sign Derrell Revis

No thanks, and I certainly don't remember him being dominant when he was with the Patriots.

He was very very good with them. Last year was his fall-off season.... well week 17 2015 was his fall-off

Re: Should we sign Derrell Revis

He quit on the Jets last year-just like Mario did in his final Bills season. His body was on the field but his mind was elsewhere. We don't need that.

No. This would wreak of a Russ Brandon "let's get lots of publicity!" move

That's why we can't do it. It undermine's our new coach. "Earning the right to win" gets an eye roll from the locker room when the front office is bringing in guys that don't play hard on every play. McD doesn't need the drama created by benching Revis for not playing hard, and if he's not willing to bench him...

Bill could bench Revis, but he's got a mitt full of rings. A first time HC doing that would be a **** show.

So far there has been great alignment with our signings. All of them a versatile players that play hard, and most even contribute on special teams. I like the attempt at building culture!
