    Yeah, I was thinking about going to that as well. I got excited when I saw the Bears are coming here.

    Looks like Revis is heading to Tampa if he can pass the physical.

    Multiple draft picks, including this year's first, which would give NYJ 9 and 13.

    Tampa gave up too much for him.

    Last time the Jets had a high pick, they picked Vernon Gholston and before that, Dewayne Robertson.

    Lol Jets.

    I agree. But Tampa has a glaring need that Talib could not fill, which became worse when he left. I don't think its a terrible deal, bc Revis is relatively young, but his injury problems are a concern.

    Really? I thought it was a terrible deal for the Jets. I'd think he'd be worth more than that, especially if not signing for guaranteed money.

    i think he'd be worth a lot more if he wasn't coming back from a torn acl. not everyone bounces back from that like adrian peterson, some are never the same.

    Example: Derrick Rose in the NBA who has had his 2013 regular and post season wiped out due to his ACL injury.

    Yes, that two tone helmet is an abortion. The reasoning for it is complete idiocity as well.

    It wouldn't be so bad if it was just gold or just black.

    The helmet shows the Jaguar either coming out of the light into darkness (Hey, maybe that's what they wanted a Star Trek reference) or signifies the Jaguars franchise as a whole of going from light into darkness. Either way, I think that it looks pretty snazzy along with their uniforms. They might as well make a splash in London for the next 4 years before they permanently move there.

    I think it symbolizes bad design.

    The claim is that the jaguar hunts in the shadows and then strikes. Only problem is that jaguar is in the light side of the helmet and stalking the shadow. lol. Silly Nike.

    Anyway, there's some confusion on which helmet is correct. There are different paint jobs being sported at different events.

    It's not silly Nike Eeth-my-Koth; Riddell's the helmet maker, not Nike. ;)

    Yes, that shadow crap was nike's words Nd their design which the NFL approved. They're all to blame.

    colors, logos and designs are up to the individual teams. Nike has no say in that. They only provide the basic jersey design.

    Teams were even allowed to opt out of the basic design elements of the new Jerseys that they did not want. Not all teams approved of some of the technical changes to the jerseys,

    Changes like these come from the teams
