As part of an ongoing feature this week that focuses on projected markets for notable New England Patriots free agents, a proposal of a contract that could work for both the club and cornerback Darrelle Revis was drawn up. Now former agent Joel Corry, writing for CBSSports.com, has presented a deal of his own. It's similar in structure to our five-year proposal and includes the same option bonus after the third season. Corry's bonuses and guarantees within the first three years are slightly higher at $46.5 million, while the total value of the deal was $85 million (compared to $80 million in our deal). It will be interesting to see how close these projections hit the actual market for Revis. But in this case, it was fun to be able to compare two contract proposals -- one from a reporter, one from a former agent -- and see how they stack up both in concept and bottom-line dollars.
