The Revis trade

It's been reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter that the Jets have granted their All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis permission to visit with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and take a physical. In case you've been under rock for the past few months, the Jets placed Revis on the trade block and immediately the Bucs were all over him, and while it's taken some time to play out the trade appears imminent on the result of Revis' physical. If he passes it, he'll be a Buccaneer. If he fails it, he'll be a Jet. The latter being both teams worst nightmare. I applaud New York Jets GM John Idzik's decision to trade Revis. Is a shutdown corner? Absolutely. The best in the league when healthy. However the last time I checked, that isn't the key to winning a Super Bowl. There hasn't been a shutdown corner on a Super Bowl winning team in at least 10 years. The Jets in are rebuilding mode and they're not going to accomplish a damn thing in 2013 with or without Revis. The grounds keeper of the infamous "Revis Island" only has one year left on his contract and has stated he wants $15 million per year in his next contract and when you consider that he has a clause in his current contract prohibiting the Jets from using the franchise tag on him next off season, why wouldn't they trade him? Now, the Jets will receive multiple draft picks from the Buccaneers including their 2013 first rounder giving the Jets two first round picks at number nine and thirteen. Not a bad way to start that rebuilding process.
