If we don't make the playoffs, it will be due to our defense this year which needs serious attention and considering the lost cap money we won't be able to do much in free agency so draft picks are golden.

We can get all of those things in the off season with out trading Cousins. We have talented S Tanard Jackson, S Brandon Meriweather, and promising young S Jordan Benstein all coming back next year. As well as Orakpo and LB Keenan Robinson coming back. Adam Carriker is also coming back. LB Rob Jackson has stepped up in place of Orakpo potentially making Orakpo trade bait. Cb's rookie Richard Crawford, Chase Minnifield and Cedric Griffin. We are not sisters of the poor on defense where we have to make a desperation trade of Cousins right now. Plus there is Free agency and renegotiation of current deals to free up cap space. I am of the glass half full.

The Jets need a new Head Coach more than anything else.

Is that you, Vinny?

Because of injury, Revis's best days are behind him. We don't want Revis. Might as well bring in Bruce Smith.

ummmm . . . disagree . . . Revis is only 27 years old . . . after he is back from his ACL, he will still be one of the best CB's in the NFL . . . don't forget, RGIII has already come back from the same injury . . . does he look slow?? . . . i would take (and the offer will never happen anyway) Revis and a 2nd any day of the week for Cousins . . . and i love me some Cousins (and love having a good backup QB) . . . but Revis is a STUD at a position we desperately need help . . .

The Jets aren't trading Revis for Cousins. Just stop.

this i agree with

I think in a QB league the Skins are at a huge advantage having 2 young QBs who can play. The old Skins would have traded Cousins, the new Skins arent that stupid.

The old Skins wouldn't have drafted Cousins in the first place.

Let's not delude ourselves here. For one, the Jets aren't trading Revis. Two, we don't need Revis. What we need are draft picks. Although Cousins stock has increased with his competitive play, I doubt if this particular offseason is the right time to trade him.

We'd still have Jimmy Clausen at the helm.

I don't think you know what you are talking about. I'm sure you said the same about Adrian Peterson after he tore his ACL and MCL just last year.

Revis has torn his ACL twice. Many players come back from one ACL tear. Can you please provide a list of players who have torn ACL's twice in the NFL and come back to play as they have before?

Your list will be short.

Terry Allen?
