Adam Schefter reports the New England Patriots pulled off a deal that has turned around their offseason after a slow start that saw them lose Aqib Talib to the Denver Broncos.
It’s a good deal for the Pats, albeit a short one that could see Revis depart next offseason. It will be interesting to see if there are any kind of clauses in regards to the Franchise Tag.
But otherwise, WOW! The team building phase of the 2014 offseason is officially underway and it exciting to see a player of Revis’ caliber paired with Bill Belichick.
The Pats now have that cover corner who can take away an opponent’s top option and it should make their entire defense better.
Listen in to the podcast at 11am tomorrow morning with special guest Paul “Fitzy” Fitzgerald as we fawn all over Revis and the implications of putting him into the defense.
CB Darrelle Revis and the New England Patriots have reached agreement on a one-year, $12 million deal, league sources told ESPN.

Also sounds like the Patriots are open to eventually making the marriage with Revis a longer-term one. Power move by New England, no doubt.
