08:04 AM ET 03.01 | A nightmare scenario for Gang Green would be to watch the Patriots make it to Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium, then, five weeks later, have Bill Belichick announce the signing of free agent cornerback Darrelle Revis. It would be out of character for Belichick to sign a big ticket free agent, but his contempt for the Jets is so deep and his need for a shutdown corner is so great, that it would not be shocking if he used some salary-cap creativity to structure a deal for Revis, especially with the extra cap room Tom Brady's contract extension opened up. ... "It's not that far-fetched," an NFL source said on Thursday. "It would not shock me if he's in a Patriots uniform next year."

Yeah, I don't see it happening, but the premise is funny

I don't know. Revis is a loose cannon, and if he feels like he's being mistreated by the Jets' management, he may sign a one-year deal with NE just to stick it to his old team, win a ring, and then go back into FA.

Do they give rings for winning your division? Beyond that, let's not get ahead of ourselves.

He seems to feel that the Jets dissed him when they didn't immediately renegotiate his contract. Bill will gamble and Revis could be a huge upgrade to their secondary. I could see it as a one year tryout to see at what level Darrelle can play at and to possibly win a ring. If it all works out, big money from some team for Revis the following year.

that's a bit of a misnomer, because they sign a ton of mid level talent in FA.
2012 cap numbers:
Wilfork: $8.1 mil
Matt Light: $6.5 mil
Welker: $9.5 mil
Ocho Stinko: $6.1 mil
Logan Mankins: $7 mil
the annual salaries are lower, but the number that counts is the cap numbers. The patriots payout higher than average for short-term contracts on veteran talent, which gives them flexibility. then they backfill with tons of mid to low level talent, hoping they can coach them up.
To say they're cheap is inaccurate when their 2012 cap spend was over $90 mil -- they just don't do long-term, huge contracts as a general policy because of the risk of injury and hamstringing a team to the health of a few players. obviously Brady is the exception because he's a QB and a good one at that.

which puts Brady 4th in cap numbers in 2012 behind Welker, Wilfork and Mayo.

He's been quoted as saying that he enjoyed playing for the Pats.

Mistreated by J-E-T-S management? That's funny. All NY has done is pay this guy handsomely and endure holdouts and threats of holdouts. He's under contract and no team in their right mind would extend a player who just had major surgery on a knee. If Revis thinks he's being mistreated, that's his inner-diva do the thinking for him.

Revis is a good cover corner but not very physical and a below average tackler.
