If the worst happens and Revis and the Pats can’t work out a deal, what would be the plan then? Would a Browner/Chung/McCourty/Dennard secondary be good enough to win another SB? Or would they target a corner in the draft? For what it’s worth, with the Jets and the Bills supposedly interested in Revis, I think the Pats will do all they can to keep him and perhaps more importantly, keep him away from a divisional rival.

Here’s how I’m looking at it. If Revis really wants to chase a paycheck with two teams currently without a starting quarterback on their rosters, so be it. 

There’s no replacing Darrelle Revis. Period. But cornerback just might be the deepest position on this team. We haven’t even entered the team-building portion of the offseason yet and the Pats could already field a very good secondary without Revis. 

Of course not as good, but compared to what we’ve seen prior to this year, they would be okay.

So if Revis bolts there would be plenty of time to evaluate other options both in free agency and the draft, but even still, they’d be okay. And who knows what Butler’s potential is.
