I think if we signed one or both of these guys on cheap one year contracts it would add tremendous depth to our roster for the long season ahead.

Barnidge would be a nice alternative and smart player for a 2nd TE. As for Revis, it depends on the shape he's in as well as the mindset. It's pretty obvious he went to the Jets to collect a paycheck and not much else.

Barnidge no


But I'd be interested in bringing in Revis on the cheap just to see if he can make it out of camp. He might have something left. But I'd rather see him as depth/more leadership. I'd rather our young guys like PJ Williams, Lattimore and Marcus Williams emerge and play well.


At the same time, Lattimore does have the hammy issues, Williams hasn't played yet and Breaux is good but he can't stay healthy either. I'm down for Revis as long as he's there for depth and would maybe only have to start a few games in worst case scenario if someone was hurt.

Barnidge was the best pass blocking TE last season, allowing 3 pressures in 123 pass blocking snaps

Over the past two seasons, Brown QBs posted a 111 QB rating when targeting GB 10-19 yards downfield (73 targets). Browns cumulative QB's rating in 2015 was 84 and 77 in 2016

In his breakout 2015 season, he ranked third in catch rate (60%) as well as receptions on balls 20+ yards down tied (six) among TE

Unless Revis has changed his tunes he won't play this season for less than 8 or 9 million. He can sit at home and make 6 million from the Jets.

Revis is DONE. He doesn't even warrant a conversation. Moving on.

Darrelle Revis would be like Champ Bailey if we signed him.

I'd take Barnidge in a heartbeat for a good price. Hill & Hooman could battle it out for the #3 spot.

Hard pass on Revis. No way would I come close to his asking price.
