发帖数: 537 | 1 trade rumors have once again kicked up around Tampa Bay Buccaneers
cornerback Darrelle Revis, but none of them have come from the Bucs
themselves, who have made no indication of wanting to trade Revis. This
latest round of rumors comes from Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, who says
the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots have interest in acquiring the
elite cornerback.

In the unlikely event that the Bucs deal Revis, Florio thinks the Broncos
and Patriots would move the hardest to get him, given that both teams are in
win-now mode with aging quarterbacks. Denver could free up $10 million in
cap space by cutting Champ Bailey, and the Patriots could let Aqib Talib
walk in free agency. Neither of those scenarios seems likely to happen, even
if the Bucs put Revis on the trading block just one year after acquiring
him from the New York Jets for a high price and signing him to a six-year, $
96 million deal.
Most of the idle speculation stems from the assumption that Revis, a man-to-
man corner, wouldn't be a fit in Lovie Smith's Tampa 2 zone coverage. This
assumption ignores Smith's willingness to be versatile in his scheme. During
his final years with the Chicago Bears, he tweaked his scheme to allow more
man coverage in the secondary, turning Charles Tillman into an elite press
corner and getting a career year out of Tim Jennings in 2012. Smith has
already vowed to build his defense around Revis' talents, saying he has "big
plans" in his introductory press conference.

Revis bounced back from a torn ACL to have another great year in 2013,
grading out as the No. 1 cornerback on Pro Football Focus. He did struggle a
bit in Greg Schiano's zone coverage at the start of the season, but played
more press coverage down the stretch. If Schiano of all people can adjust
his scheme to fit Revis, we have no reason to believe that Smith, one of the
finest defensive minds in the game, will do otherwise.
The trade whispers will probably continue throughout the offseason, mostly
from other teams who badly want Revis to aid a potential Super Bowl run. But
until we hear anything concrete from Tampa's camp, it's safe to assume that
Revis will be in a Bucs jersey in the 2014 season. | J***o
