Even though it is quiet, don’t believe that Bucs rock star general manager Mark Dominik and Jets general manager John Idzik haven’t discussed a swap for Darrelle Revis in the past two weeks.

Obviously, Dominik can not begin hammering out a new contract for Revis until Idzik grants permission for Dominik to talk to Revis, and that likely won’t happen until a trade is agreed upon in principle.

But the lobbying with Revis has already begun through back-channels.

Bucs offensive tackle Donald Penn is new to Twitter but the guy is Twittering like a madman; like a kid with a new toy. And Penn is wasting no time using this tool to soften up Revis.

@DPENN70: @Revis24 lol u r a lil close what’s up my dude we waiting on u #BucsNation

Now the “lil close” reference was a response to a non-football question Revis had on Twitter.

Joe thinks it is pretty cool that Bucs players are already greasing the wheels and buttering up Revis to agree to a contract extension to play for the Bucs.
