I wonder how Jets fans are going to feel about this?! Darrelle Revis called out Jets’ bosses about a week ago, so maybe this move would be good for both sides?! Rumor has it that the 49ers are pursuing Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis. Details after the jump…
According to Rich Cimini | ESPN:
The Chiefs reportedly agreed to trade their second-round pick (34th overall) to the San Francisco 49ers, who now have the ammunition to become players for cornerback Darrelle Revis.
The NFC champions own 11 draft choices, including the 31st and 34th picks. The 49ers are looking for the proverbial missing piece and, considering the way their secondary was shredded in the postseason, they’d be smart to consider a cornerback to replace Carlos Rogers.
The Jets are willing to listen to offers for Revis. In fact, they spoke with “multiple teams” at the scouting combine in an attempt to gauge the market for their star cornerback, according to sources.
You know the story. There’s no way owner Woody Johnson will pay $16 million a year for Revis, whose contract voids after the season, and he has instructed new general manager John Idzik to see what’s out there.
Let’s be realistic: The chances of trading a player coming off ACL surgery — someone who wants to be the highest-paid defensive player in the league — are slim.
