It finally happened. The Jets have traded star cornerback Darrelle Revis to the Buccaneers for a pair of draft picks. FOXSports.com's Alex Marvez says this move puts embattled Jets coach Rex Ryan on the uber-hot seat. But, what are the people on Twitter saying? First came the Buccaneers, who tweeted out the news while also dumping Gatorade over their heads:
Then, Revis' manager sent out this tweet along with a photo:
Everyone congratulate the newest Tampa Bay Buc @revis24 #bucnation #revisIsland twitter.com/JohnGeiger_/st… — John Geiger (@JohnGeiger_) April 21, 2013
With the news out, other NFL players started to weigh in:
Tampa Trynna win! Congrats @revis24 ! You and my bro @thehawk38 gonna rock well together! — TWHITNER (@DonteWhitner) April 21, 2013
Buccaneers legend Derrick Brooks contributed this:
We hope "see you soon" is a good thing. Former Jets player Damien Woody also made an excellent point. Draft wisely, fantasy peeps:
Well.....Julio Jones & Steve Smith fantasy stats just took a hit #RevisIsland — Damien Woody (@damienwoody) April 21, 2013
Even guys like Tyrann Mathieu, who isn't technically IN the league yet, had something to say:
For some reason, some fan wiseguy decided to throw some high heat at Robert Griffin III. Leave RG3 alone!
“@a_katzman83: Hey @rgiii , how's YOUR rehab going? #shutyourmouth” C'mon really? It's going great. And Revis got what he worked for. Chill — Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) April 21, 2013
Let's move past players though. Actor/comedian Matt Besser had this to say:
Anybody want to buy a Revis Jets jersey? #24#imustbecrazyattheseprices#jetsjetsbucs — Matt Besser (@MattBesser) April 21, 2013
OK, that's all and good, but we want some FAN REACTION. You know, the lifeblood of the league. This guy is clearly a Patriots fan.
This guy gets the Obvious Statement Award:
This guy actually raises a very good question:
We don't know if we agree with this dude, but we're just big fans of his name:
Not exactly sure what's going on with this guy:
