Quote:He would be a year removed from his ACL injury/surgery. 

 

I would consider signing him, carefully.

 

What I wouldn't want is for him to want to renegotiate his deal a year or two into it.  He was in constant contractual acrimony with the Jets, and I wouldn't want that here.

 

If I could be convinced he wouldn't be a pain in the butt in contract negotiations, I might be willing to sign him.

 

Are the contract negotiations all that detrimental though? I agree with you that it can be tiresome for the fanbase, but how much does it affect the dynamic of the team? I mean, Front Office guys get paid to negotiate contracts, it's what they do. Let them earn their pay, nothing wrong with that. Now, if Revis is making a horse's rear end of himself in the Locker Room, Practice Field, et al then it may need to be reconsidered. However if it's simply a matter of the team having to sit down at the negotiating table with the man every few seasons, that isn't a detriment to me.
