We wouldn't pay him top 5 money with BA in charge. There is better value out there.

"The problem with Revis is that he views himself as the best defensive player in the NFL and wants to be paid top dollar, a number which is currently represented by DE Mario Williams who makes $16 million a year with $24.9 million in firm guarantees."
.......mmmmm...no thanx

[REDSKINS4ever]

It depends what the Jets new GM wants in exchange for Revis...this is a trade Vinny Cerratto would have been stupid enough to make....possibly sending a 1st rounder to the Jets for Revis...Vinny makes me laugh because of how incompetent he was as a GM....but Allen and Shanahan would do the wise thing....tell the Jets that this guy is coming off an ACL injury where he missed the whole season, but for all we know, he's not worth nothing more than a 4th round pick....and we'll throw in a 2nd string player to go along with the deal....

If the Jets GM does not agree, then it's no big deal...but at least we don't gamble on a player coming off a season ending injury....

Orakpo has been a bust IMO. Sorry but he's a 1st rounder and really has only had 1 good season. Not even close to compare, revis is elite

When he was healthy he was rated 15th by PFF in sacks, hits, hurries. He's definately an effective pass rusher. Thats where he ranked in pressures per play, it wasn't an opinion stat.

I wouldn't make a trade for revis for anything, because he's gonna be free agent after this coming season no matter how much you give up for him.

That's a bit strong of a criticism. We saw this season how much of a difference Rak makes; and for the entirety of '11 he was playing injured. Certainly he hasn't been what we hoped, and he definitely isn't the game changer that Revis is, but he's a very good player who would start on any team; you can't reasonably expect much more than that from a mid-first round pick. You can want more and you can hope for more, but you can't expect more. He's far from a bust.

I would rather sign Talib and use 1st two picks on secondary than trading for Revis and and signing him to a huge contract.

[skinsfaninok]

I love RAK like the rest of us here and I hope he stays in DC and proves me wrong but he's really only had 1 good year and i'm not saying Kerrigan is better but he at least plays every game. I guess we'll see next season if Rak can be that guy for us

[Chico23231]

I worry bout the reoccurance of that injury with Rak. I like Rak and think he is an important part of the defense and would like to see him stay. I dont think he is a bust, but I do think he is replacable. Hopefully he comes back 100% and gets double digit sacks.

Rak has been far from a bust. A two time Pro Bowler? Avg of almost 10 sacks per season in his first 3 years? C'mon now.

Just another example of how that term "bust" gets tossed around way too easily.

Ok Ok well maybe I'm just bitter that he hasn't been that DWare type of player but I don't think he's a Bum by any means. I just expected more from him after that great rookie yr. If Griffin's numbers go down in years 2,3 and misses all of year 4 some would call him a bust I'm sure.

Rak has been rock solid and consistent. Look at his numbers during years 1-3, practically mirror images of each other.

So he's not D-Ware, not many guys are.

But when you have two OLB's in the 3-4 that can bring you around 10 sacks each per year like Kerrigan and Rak, that's pretty damn good.

The term bust should be reserved for guys that flat out can't play. Just a pet peeve of mine.

Your right Bust is like Maybin or Gholston. Like I said I want RAK to be there and I hope he can come back healthy and help our horrid pass rush next yr

Remember 2008 when Andre Carter led the Redskins with 4 sacks? Yeah, me neither. Probably because Rak has averaged almost 10 since he got here, obviously this year excluded. Rak might not be a D-Ware or Jared Allen, but if anybody here thinks we're better off without him they should feel free to examine the years when we had no pass rush.
