Revis was #1 in 2009 and 2011

It was 2011 he was second in the NFL for QB rating against. Guy had a great year.

If they chose prowbowlers based on one stat and ignored everything else he may have made it it.

He had a decent year

Well I also watched him that year and he consistently played great on other teams number one receiver, but no you are right. Gamble sucked. Wasn't good since 08. Good riddance to that bum. He was soooo lucky that QBs were unable to complete passes to their WR leading to such a low QB rating. I don't understand how Gamble left them so open all the time and the QB and WR were never able to connect.

Wrong. 2011 was one Gamble's best seasons. Much better than decent. Thats why as understandable as this cut is, it stinks because Chris really looked like he fit perfectly in our new defensive scheme.

He was back to performing pretty pedestrian prior to his injury last year.

At his age, do you think someone picks him up? Because maybe we could resign him for a lot less?

lol someone will DEFINITELY pick him up. he's a very talented corner and he's not even 30.

For three more days.

For three more days.

even so, 30 isn't poo. he has at least 2 good years in him.

You are bad at this and getting defensive.

Gamble is simply not that big of a loss. I think he is past his prime and can make a serviceable CB somewhere perhaps. NFL experience is worth something.

We haven't had a great backfield in a while.

In 2011 Pro Football focus had him rated as their 17th best CB with a 6th best QB ranking when thrown in his direction. It was a good year, his best but far from making him the 2nd best CB in the league. He is gone because of Hurney's mismanagment of the cap and his injuries.

[Gabeking]

It's pretty risky to cut Chris..some would say, a gamble.

(sorry)

[SmashNDash]

Gamble was good, but not 7 million good. We honestly did better later on in the season on D when he was on IR, whether he was part of the problem, or we could just get by without him. I think Norman/Thomas are servicable, but we need to bring in a legit #1 or #2 corner and upgrade FS.Goodbye Gamble, enjoyed your years here.

[BigEric]

On PAPER this secondary looks bad.. but it has performed well when Chris went on IR. I'm not opposed to bringing in another CB via draft or FA but I don't think its the most dire need on the team. I like what Thomas did at CB, a lot. Who knows what he's capable of over 16 games. And honestly, I don't love our safety situation but Campbell, a lot like Thomas, played well.

Whats our cap now?

Like $8 gazillions

But I ain't no cap genius
