Darrelle Revis' potential trade from New York Jets to Tampa Bay Buccaneers in fragile state - NFL - Peter King - SI.com (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/nfl/news/20130321/darrelle-revis-trade-new-york-jets-tampa-bay-buccaneers/)
If what Peter Kings reports is accurate, the Jets would be friggin idiots not to pull the trigger on a 2014 1st and 2nd rounder. HUGE idiots.
In fact, the source said, if the Jets are willing to take both picks in 2014, Tampa Bay would likely deal its first- and second-round picks for Revis, even though the Bucs are not sold that he can come back and be 100 percent after 2012 knee surgery.
Three things are apparent in the wake of the NFL meetings in Arizona, where nothing got done between the Jets and Bucs on the Revis front: Tampa Bay is the only serious bidder for Revis. The ball is in the Jets' court on what to do next. And the Bucs aren't going to go much further, if at all, to try to get Revis.
Tampa Bay GM Mark Dominik on Wednesday night and the Jets, through a team spokesman this morning, both declined comment on the fragile state of talks between the two teams.
The Jets, in discussions with Tampa, have apparently been stuck on acquiring the Bucs' first-round pick this year, as well as an additional choice, which would likely come in next year's draft. That would give New York the ninth and 13th picks overall this year.
