    The Bucs may pass on a chance to trade for Darrelle Revis if the Jets continue to insist on three draft picks for the Pro Bowl cornerback, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    The Jets reportedly have asked for the Bucs' 13th overall pick in the NFL draft April 25, as well as selections in the third and fifth rounds, it's not clear whether one, both or neither of those later picks could come in 2014.

    Tampa Bay appears ready to trade its first-round pick in 2013 and 'something else,' but the Bucs believe they are the only team with the salary cap room and the need at cornerback currently engaged in talks for Revis. The Bucs are $32.8-million under the salary cap, second only to Cleveland ($33.6-million), but the Browns have not been linked to Revis.

    But the Bucs front office and coach Greg Schiano are in agreement that the Jets' price is currently too high for Revis, especially due to the lack of suitors and the fact he is coming off surgery to repair a torn ACL.

    That ACL is becoming no worry from what I hear. There is supposedly video out there of him running and cutting just fine...

    Yep,i don't think the knee is going to be a huge issue. Its just a matter of how much is a cornerback worth? 3 of your first 5 picks? I wouldn't do that. I agree with the bucs on this one. Not worth it.

    Damn, the jets shouild be thrilled to get 13th overall and to dump his gigantic contract that is not very cap friendly. Hes good but he is coming off a torn up knee and is a guuy that demands more money every year

    Latest rumor has 1st and fifth this year, 3rd next year. Would be a great trade if true.

    I'm going to make a serious confession here. I did not make the meme. My post was a lie. I'm a horrible human being. I'm sorry. I didn't realize how others would be hurt by it.

    Why would Kolb be in the picture anyway? He's not an "NFL QB." He just plays one on Sundays.
