Jets Trade Darrelle Revis to Tampa Bay

Cornerback swapped for first round pick in NFL Draft.

The New York Jets announced through their team website Sunday that they have traded marquee cornerback Darrelle Revis to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

In exchange for Revis — who many experts thought would likely be traded before the start of the 2013 NFL season — the Jets receive the thirteenth overall pick in Thursday's NFL draft. 

The Jets will also receive a conditional third/fourth round pick in the 2014 draft if Revis is still on the Buc's roster on the third day of the 2014 season. 

What do you think, Jets fans? Do you approve of the trade? Was it time for Revis to go? Or should Gang Green have tried to work it out with one of the league's standout corners?
