Revis Island Bringing Some Heat to New England

It seems that for everybody saying how Mr. Revis is a me-me kind of guy, he seems to have changed his ways as he could have commanded a long term deal for a couple of million more a year to a few other

Revis takes a big risk, Pats
take little.  They do it again!

teams.  My friends, those of you who complain about the Patriot way constantly, is why this is the best franchise in football.  As I don't know if he would have done this anywhere else but here.  It is still a big risk for him, because if he gets hurt, the window to another bid payday just became slim to none. If healthy, he should be great as a year removed from knee surgery is usually when they begin to play much closer to 100%.  He will play in a great system as he will be able to go from man to man as well as rob coverage a lot and he should have some big numbers as it will be tough to avoid him as he won't be man to man as much.  

This is a huge shift from the way of the Patriots, but they realize that they should probably bring in somebody like this as they know they will be playing the Broncos at least once if not twice.  This will probably mean that Adrian Wilson is gone to make some more cap room, but they can always find safeties as Belichick is the master of making bad safeties look good.  This move makes perfect sense for the Patriots, I am just not sure if they will take the plunge on a long term deal as people are speculating.  If they were going to do that, it would have made sense to have already done it, but I expect Revis will want big money going forward and we will have to wait and see what the Patriots do.

Broncos and Browns Make Early Splash in Free Agency

There has been a lot of buzz about free agency and Denver and Cleveland have been definitely showing people the money.  Cleveland started it off by picking up Karlos Dansby from Arizona and Donte Whitner who will be able to fill the role left by TJ Ward, who signed with the Denver Broncos.  Along with Ward, the Broncos went and signed some big names and talent with Demarcus Ware and Aqib Talib coming aboard.  Make no mistake, they missed Dumervil coming off the edge last year, even more so when Von Miller went down and they went and picked up a lot of sacks as long as he can stay healthy that is.  Talib is a very good corner that got to go from one winning organization to another and picked up some money along the way.

The Broncos are making a statement and they know that they will need some help on defense, but more important Ryan Clady will be back and that would have helped out in the Super Bowl.  It wouldn't have been enough as Seattle played possessed, but it would have slowed down the rush on Peyton's blind side as he is more than likely a top 3 tackle.  So, as of right now, I would gladly take some money and put it down on the Broncos to win over 11 games as their defense just got a huge upgrade.
The Browns have done one thing more than any other, is given their fan base some hope as this is a signal that they are going to do what it takes to become a good team.  With Mike Pettine as a defense minded head coach, it is not a surprise that they took these guys first and may make a run at Revis to go along with under rated and ATP favorite Joe Haden.  That would instantly make this team good in my opinion.  They have a good amount of early round draft picks, with the number 4 overall pick, who will definitely be a quarterback as they just released Brandon Weeden and Jason Campbell.  It would have been anyway, but those releases just proved beyond a shadow of a doubt and I still like Brian Hoyer, who hopefully is able to come back from ACL surgery and show that he can still play at this level.
