Darrelle Revis situation looks worse
For all you Jets supporters out there thinking that the team would make sure shutdown corner Darrelle Revis' contract dispute would be short-lived, you'd better grab a seat. Reports out of Jets camp indicate the team and its star cornerback are about $40 million apart in negotiations. Revis is holding out to have his rookie contract reworked and expects to be the highest paid corner in the league.
Word has it that the team has had a 10-year $120 million deal on the table for at least a few months, but Revis' camp is looking for about $160 million, plus incentives and whatever guaranteed money the two sides agree on - which is huge.
Revis out for the year?
For the players in these situations, the guaranteed money and incentives are what they always end up fighting for. It's what they can fall back on if they do end up like so many others - done after a career-ending injury.
This one could take a while.
