Jets Grant Buccaneers Permission To Give Revis Physical Setting Up Trade

By Dennis Agapito Posted On April 21, 2013

ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that the Jets have granted the Tampa Bay Buccaneers permission to give Darrelle Revis a physical to set up a potential trade:

After months of speculation it appears the Jets are ready to make a trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the All-Pro Cornerback. Revis is coming off a knee injury that ended his 2012 season and while still recovering the Buccaneers emerged as a likely trade partner despite the injury concerns. Tampa Bay will have a long term contract structure in place if they obtain Revis as he was set to become a completely unrestricted free agent after the 2013 season.

If a Revis trade happens it will mark the first major move by new general manager John Idzik and a turning point for the entire Jets franchise.
