Saw a tweet earlier from his loser friend Greggery or whatever looking for a place to stay in Cortland.
I think its been a given that Revis wouldnt hold out this year, per the structure of his deal which is almost certain to get reworked after this season.
http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/sto...vis-plans-show-training-camp-time-report-says "This is an intermediate step to what we hope is an entire career of Darrelle as a Jet," Tannenbaum said at the time, "for him to retire a Jet, for him to hopefully go to the Hall of Fame one day as a Jet and for him to be in our ring of honor." One major deterrent in the contract might have helped Revis make his decision. If he skipped camp, the current deal would be automatically extended by three years. The daily fines for not being at the mandatory camp and the potential public backlash might have also played a role.
Cimini is going to be pissed. He's currently praying for a Bart Scott DUI, otherwise he'll have to write something original between now and Week 1.
"WITH THE 9TH SELECTION IN THE 2007 NFL DRAFT, THE MIAMI DOLPHINS SELECT: (wait for it....) TED GINN, RECEIVER, OHIO STATE" (wild applause from jet fans). "WITH THE 14TH SELECTION IN THE 2007 DRAFT, THE NY JETS SELECT DARRELLE REVIS, CORNER BACK, PITTSBURG" Our Revis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darelle_Revis Darrelle Shavar Revis (born July 14, 1985) is an American football cornerback for the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). Revis was drafted in the first round (14th overall) by the Jets in the 2007 NFL Draft. He played college football at the University of Pittsburgh. His spot on the field is nicknamed "Revis Island", a phrase Revis has trademarked,[1] for his ability to play one-on-one with opposing receivers.[2][3] He is cited as one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. High school career High school accolades include the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review 2003 Player of the Year, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 2003 WPIAL Class AA Player of the Year, and 2003 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “Fabulous 22”. In the PIAA Class AA State Championship football game, he led Aliquippa to a come-from-behind 32–27 win over Northern Lehigh by scoring 5 touchdowns including 3 rushing touchdowns, a punt return, and the return of a blocked Northern Lehigh field goal attempt. He also completed a 39 yard pass, had a reception, and an interception in the game.[7] In his junior and senior years of high school he led Aliquippa to WPIAL basketball championships, leading the team in scoring both years, culminating with a 25.2 PPG average his senior season. He also had the most interceptions out of any cornerback for high school. His best game came in his Senior Year. In the Pennsylvania State Championship game, where Revis carried his team to becoming State Champions. He blocked a field goal (ran for a touchdown), blocked a punt (ran for a touchdown), returned a kick-off for a touchdown, threw a touchdown pass and intercepted a pass which he returned for a touchdown. College career Revis earned first-team Freshman All-America honors his 2004 freshman campaign. Revis played all 12 games, and started 11 of those 12. Revis tied for fifth on the team with 49 tackles, tied for team lead with 12 broken-up passes, and second on the team with 14 defended passes. Revis also totaled two interceptions. The most important of the two interceptions was against the West Virginia Mountaineers, when he intercepted a late pass that set up the Panthers' game-winning drive. Revis also totaled a career-high seven tackles against Boston College. With Pitt leading 17–10, the Boston College Eagles elected to go for it late in the fourth on fourth-and-goal. The pass got to the one yard line, but Revis hit the receiver and stopped him from getting the score. Revis' sophomore season in 2005 was another excellent campaign. Revis earned first-team All-Big East at cornerback. Revis led the Panthers with four interceptions and was second-team with 13 defended passes. Revis was ranked second in the Big East with two recovered fumbles. Revis had a 79-yard punt return for a score against the University of Cincinnati and blocked a field goal against UConn which was returned for the score. Revis also had an interception and totaled 119 punt return yards against Rutgers. Revis' final year at Pitt, his 2006 junior campaign, was where he established himself on the national stage. He was a candidate for Jim Thorpe Award and Bronko Nagurski Trophy at the end of the season. Revis recorded interceptions against the University of Virginia and Cincinnati, which were both taken back for touchdowns. During the 2006 Backyard Brawl game with rival West Virginia, Revis made a dynamic, 73-yard punt return, while breaking several tackles, and finally scoring a touchdown late in the second quarter. The key block to spring him, by Pitt wide receiver Derek Kinder, took out two Mountaineers. The play was nominated for "Best Play" at the 2007 ESPY Awards and was voted the best College Football Play of the Year.[8]
A holdout was all media driven with false reports and bullshit. Revis up until now has shown no indications that he was holding out. 1 week and we will know.
Well, what do you know! I guess "potentially holding out" story didn't have any potential to hold at all & there were no facts in that fact reporting...
It wouldnt of made sense for him to hold out this year if he really wanted to be a jet for life, they will give him a contract next year and everyone will be happy.
If Mike T. is smart (and I know he is), he'll start up talks before the season's over and before the 2013 offseason news-starved media turns this into another circus.
The structure of his deal dictates that he's not going to hold out unless he is a complete idiot. If he holds out, that would trigger an automatic 3yr extension of his current deal.
Exactly. Then what is he going to do, hold out the next 3 years while the Jets have him on the cheap? Next year though, we should be ready if Tanny doesn't lock him up
it wont come to that...we would trade him before there would be a hold out next year....but hes getting paid...jet for life.
the Jets are in good shape w/DR. He is essentially in a contract yr and is incentivized to not hold out and to have an excellent season.
If there is no BS and Revis just plays and has another Revis like year, he will get what has been promised to him before next season.
