Is Revis still available?

[kevans74]

I posted this in the offseason, but let's be honest...

This secondary looks pathetic against any good to elite quarterback

could it hurt to bring someone in who "knows how" to play the position???

I mean we got a little lucky today on the interception that was a deflection, or maybe even a drop...
let's be honest I don't trust them against Matt Ryan again

Only way we win a game like that is if ARod puts up like 49 points

Our young secondary is playing good. But I would bring in Revis in a flat second if it was an option.

Vet min plus incentives... maybe... if he works out well and they feel he can be a mentor

Seriously what is the obsession with big name players who aren't good enough to find a team?

Revis is still good enough to play even at age 32 or whatever he is. The issue is he gets $6 million from the jets to do nothing. It’s an offset contract so a team would have to pay him above and beyond $6 million to get him to sign. So he’d probably need to get paid $10-12 million to justify an nfl seasons abuse and that’s just not going to happen.

I would guess he’ll be back on a team next year.

Who else is available? Leon Hall? We need a bit more options than just Randall and Rollins.

 

[longtimefan]

He is available and has been since March..

Why is that? I think he is being paid by the jets still..

Chargers reached out and didn't pursue even tho they are thin..

I think most teams believe he is done

The Packers' secondary isn't playing good by any means but there's no reason to bring up Revis once again.

Revis allowed a passer rating of over 100 last season. While he would fit in perfectly with most of the Packers' secondary that's the reason he hasn't been signed by now as he doesn't present an upgrade over the players currently on the roster.

I don't consider any free agent cornerback currently being available as a significant improvement.

here is a list (last updated 2 weeks ago) of all available free agents and their last team:

Ah yes, a new month brings a new Revis thread: https://www.packerforum.com/threads/revis-still-unemployed.74735/
Almost as dependable lately as the electric bill. We have 8 existing threads on this guy plus all the defense and CB titled threads that he was discussed in. Some posters just need to let it go away.

Maybe not. But there's no downside in trying them out. The only impact in benching Rollins/Randall could actually be on the positive side.

The Packers would have to release a player currently on the roster to make room for a veteran not being considered a significant improvement. No, thanks.

Not even Rollins?

Hmmm, maybe.

 

[lambeaulambo]

But is this guy a wash up or another Charles Woodson? Lets see....can he look confused and let wrs release to no one? If the answer is yes, then get him on the field...Capers can get him all discombobulated by his schemes and he will fit in fine.

 

[kevans74]

sorry to bump this but....

I swear if this secondary makes Keenum look like a Pro Bowler today it's gonna be pretty indictive of more problems to come

I've got some buddies in Minnesota who will admit this shouldn't even be close... ESPECIALLY with Diggs out, you would just need to focus on Thielen mostly

Let's see if there's any improvement

People claiming Revis went from 18 mil a year allpro cb to not worthy of roster spot. Need to jump off the negative band wagon .

This team won't go very far if Keenum looks great today, especially with Diggs out...

In 2015 he was no longer elite and only mediocre at best. In 2 years it is very likely he has lost more speed and ability. I don't think signing him would help the team and would actually hurt the team.

[kevans74]

Well we got Randall, Hawkins and Rollins starting today... don't hold your breath lol

So what do you want? A guy who was once great but now sucks and is rusty or a guy who is okay and might get better?

 

[Poppa San]

No you are not. Anything to bring up "big name" but available defensive players to continue your rant against TT &/or Capers.

 

[kevans74]

I mean I'm just being honest...

Keenum, a THIRD STRING quarterback, on a DEFENSIVE minded team who does NOT HAVE his starting RB or starting WR

No Dalvin Cook
No Stefan Diggs

Looked pretty good today

If our D was pretty good I would have expected them to hold them to 17-20 points
