Source Says Jets CB Darrelle Revis Wants $162 Million

There was a buzz late Sunday afternoon when Dallas Morning News columnist Tim Cowlishaw, a regular panelist on ESPN 's "Around the Horn," wrote on his Twitter account that the Jets and Darrelle Revis will announce an agreement as early as Wednesday but a league source told Newsday Sunday that the speculation was inaccurate. That leads one to believe there has been little progress in the Revis talks. Which makes you wonder if Revis is beginning to overplay his hand. With three years left on his deal and the Jets offering as much as $122 million over 10 years – you read right, $122 million over 10 years – he is demanding $162 million over 10 years, according to NFL sources. With that $40-million chasm showing no sign of closing soon, the Jets appear to be doing the next-best thing: signing their other key young players to deals that are more palatable.

get real Revis. Or who ever this "source" is.

 

I can't say anything that hasn't already been said.

 

Revis is gradually becoming my least favorite player in the NFL.

 

I hope they don't get anything worked out until week 2 at the earliest.

 

*snicker

 

the new facepalm.........

 

amen to that.

So he upped his demand by $2M and they upped their offer by $2M. Wonderful.

Revis is a pimp if he pulls that crap off... I ain't even going to hate him for it.

 

Why would you? If I could get that kind of coin, I would! Can't blame the man for shooting for the stars. Blame the Jets if they give it to him. I think Revis is a little delusional if he thinks he's worth that money, but why not ask...

 

I think he did a little more then just ask :icon_lol:

 

lol...each person's different. When I asked, I got told to go back to work and a door slammed on my butt. I didn't even have time to tell them I was going to hold out...

 

Revis is getting real greedy. If he doesnt sign soon what happens if the jets go ok thats enought we wont sign you.

 

I bet it's easier to get cold water in hell than to squeeze $162millon from the Jets.

 

It's crazy to pay that much for a cornerback, even if he is a shut down corner.

 

No way they pay that much. Well, until the games start counting, at which time they will probably give hm all that and a massage with a happy ending. And the Jets will STILL not win the AFC East.
