Day 205

Fresh Start_205: All charges dropped
With the charges against Darrelle Revis being dropped this afternoon, the career of Revis Island is over. Being 30 years old, the Revis is aging beyond his years, he has lost about 2 or 3 steps, and will have to move to safety even when he can’t tackle. Being a 30-year-old corner going on 42, Revis has limited options on where he will go in free agency. There is no doubt that Revis will want to go to a contender for more money than he is worth because Revis only cares about money.

Throughout Darrelle Revis’ career, he has collected boat loads of cash, and why would that change now that he is once again a free agent. With that, there are a select few teams that could offer him a $8-10 Million contract.

If he ends up on any NFL team in 2017, I could see Revis ending up on Pittsburgh or Houston. It would be an $8 Million guaranteed contact for maybe a season and by the end of the year he would move to safety. Again, being 30, coming off a season where he had only 1 interception, 5 pass deflection, and 53 combined tackles. His interception numbers are tied with a career low, and the amount of pass deflections is second worse in his career (3 in 2012).

Revis doesn’t deserve another contract in the NFL based off his performance in 2016. I was one of the many that was excited fans when the Jets signed Revis in the offseason two years ago, but time has changed my opinion on Revis and with his performance it just doesn’t make sense that he would get another contract with the amount that he will be asking for. Any team that does fork over any lump sum to Darrelle Revis will feel the same repercussions that the Texans felt with Brock Osweiler, period.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
