Darrelle Revis on Jets trade rumors: ‘I need answers’
CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora stirred up the 2013 NFL offseason when he broke the news that the Jets were exploring potential trade options for superstar cornerback Darrelle Revis.
The news itself left Revis “speechless” when it came out. But the New York Jets star will talk about his reaction to said news on Monday night with the NFL Network’s Andrea Kremer, the network announced Monday, while revealing a little teaser for the interview.
Jets would be interested in former Giants RB Bradshaw, if he came cheap
Ahmad Bradshaw is not eager to leave the area he has called his NFL home and he sees the Jets “right across the street.’’ Is it possible for the former Giants running back to stay put and trade blue for green?
Why not?
“The New York Jets are a team that I’m excited to hear about, just to stay home, not make a big move from New York,’’ Bradshaw said Tuesday on NFL Network’s “NFL AM’’ program. “It’s just right across the street from where I am now.’’
Jets plan to keep pushing Mark Sanchez for starting QB
Through a series of introductory interviews, general manager John Idzik has made one thing clear: The roster will be built on competition. Players will be challenged for their spots.
This includes the starting quarterback position and Mark Sanchez, who is scheduled to make a guaranteed $8.25 million after a troubling 2012 during which he was benched twice.
Idzik, who was hired less than a week ago, finally got to meet with Sanchez to let him know personally.
“Yeah, I’m comfortable with Mark being a Jet,” Idzik said on WFAN Monday morning. “I told him as well, we’re going to add competition. … It’s going to help make Mark and everybody else better.”
Sanchez, though, should have seen the writing on the wall. One similarity between Idzik and former general manager Mike Tannenbaum was that both intended on pushing Sanchez with new blood in 2013.
During the Tannenbaum regime, the Jets scouted quarterbacks like West Virginia’s Geno Smith, Syracuse’s Ryan Nassib and Virginia Tech’s Logan Thomas before he decided to stay another year in college, according to people briefed on the matter. These people requested anonymity because the Jets do not make their possible draft targets public.
