Chiefs sign Darrelle Revis

[Ricky Roma]

Completely forgot about this dude.

Hahahahah

*deep breath*


Hahahahahahahaha

Yeah, this isn't going to be good I am guessing. Here I was hoping Jalen Collins would be a Chief. Revis is a guy you sign because he basically already knows the scheme and for culture fit. (Sutton was Rex Ryan's DC in NY IIRC)

If this was 2011, this would probably be a decent signing.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Chiefs need a true outside guy with their first pick in the upcoming draft. Nelson ain't bad as an outside guy in base, but he's pretty good in the slot and if he's in the slot... You have to put a bum on the field as it stands currently. I really don't think we're that far away as far as contention goes, but we could use a decent draft to lengthen the defense out some. Chiefs rebalanced most of their roster to offense and the depth on defense has caught up to that fact.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Translation: Acker, Mitchell, and Gaines all really suck and we want someone who knows where to be- and will execute the play in base; even if it’s actually terrible.

I'm going to wear my Jurassic Park shirt to the next game I go to and see if anyone gets it


I can't say this is surprising but man, I'm not expecting much. I thought Mitchell would be better than this.

The vibe I am getting was Mitchell was freelancing a bit too much. Hence Acker starting over him.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Well, at least we didn't sign him a to a megacontract like we did Ty Law way back when

*I loved that FO*

That'll fix it!

this is pretty surprising. not just that the chiefs have been "trying all season" to sign him, but that he actually eventually accepted a deal.

i wonder how far off his phsyical conditioning currently is. . .

I think the Falcons could regret cutting Collins...some team will take a flyer on him cheap and if he's finally got his head on right he's got starter talent.

Revis is a reach at this point...from what I saw of him last, you've got the keep a S over top of him now.

Supposedly he weighs 208, and according to him he weighed "way more" his last year with the Jets.

He was 205 in his prime.

$10 mil? Seriously? Clearly he doesn't want to play next year...that was just a number to get him off the couch.

Yeah, that's pretty much how I took it too. Maybe another hint they're dead set on moving Alex given their limited cap room; but the likelihood of Revis being an all pro again is what? 1%?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

It's bad when I am debating the merits of grandpa Revis being better than Kenneth Acker.

For sure that is $ he'll never see. I wonder what the incentives were to get him off the couch now?

I'm not a huge fan of the signing. But it's likely not costing them much? So it can't really hurt. I can't see Revis becoming a malcontent with 6 weeks left to go? He's a good veteran presence.
