Wow. Just a stunning turn of events over the past couple of days. I had a feeling as soon as Revis and the Pats hadn't gotten a deal done before 4pm on Monday, that him coming back would be a distinct possibility. That said, now that it's reality, I don't believe it at all. Absolutely Unreal.
Now the biggest challenge for me moving forward is to keep my emotions in check, and remember who it is we're dealing with here. Darrelle Revis is the best mercenary in the history of sports. He has no loyalty to anybody except himself and his accountant. He was far and away my favorite Jet during his first tenure here, and the break-up was rough for me. Now I can see a little clearer and it's nice, I'm totally prepared for another departure in a few years. I'm actually fine with it
The ironic thing about all of this is the "Coming Home" rhetoric which has taken hold of Jet Nation since the signing. No he isn't. Playing for the Jets or in NYC or "finishing what he started here" has absolutely nothing to do with it. Jets had the money, Revis was available. That's all there is to it. :Now he can retire a Jet" no he won't. If you think that, or you're holding out hope for that, stop being dumb. He retires a Jet only if they're willing ti pay him the most when the time comes. Either way fuck that, we have time to enjoy this move.
From a purely football perspective this is IMMENSE. Not only do you bring the best CB in football to your team, but you take him from a division rival. The Pats are far worse on defense today, and the Jets are far better. Revis, Buster Skrine, (probably) Cromartie... this secondary went from being maybe the worst in the league to maybe the best in 24 hours. That secondary, the ferocious DLine and a solid LB-core, Coach Bowles is going to have a BALL with this team.

Round of applause for Mike McCagnan and the rest of the new Front Office. These fucking guys have come out SWINGING, and for the first time in probably my entire time as a Jets fan, I feel really good about the guys making decisions for this team. Woody Johnson is a pain in the ass sometimes, but credit where it's due to him as well, he listened to his advisers Casserly and Wolf, and they seemed to have steered them in the right direction with Macc. Of course, only time will tell how good these signings were, but it's hard to have a better start than the rookie GM. Marshall, Revis, Love It. Beers on me!
