Buccaneers rumors: On board for Darrelle Revis trade


The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have emerged as the favorite to acquire New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis, and the team’s management is now “fully on board” with a trade involving the All-Pro, according to Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports.


Cole notes that, at this point, the holdup is what the Jets are willing to accept in exchange for Revis. Tampa Bay doesn’t want to surrender its first-round pick (No. 13 overall) in this year’s NFL Draft.

The Bucs are said to be unwilling to match the price the Seattle Seahawks paid for wide receiver Percy Harvin earlier this week, a first- and seventh-round pick this year and a third-round pick in 2014. Tampa Bay has hesitations regarding Revis’ health and the massive contract extension he is seeking.

Instead, the Bucs may be more willing to part ways with their 2014 first-round pick, according to Cole.
