When the season ended, the Jets quietly started to negotiate a long-term contract extension for star cornerback Darrelle Revis. In fact, his agent arrived at the Jets' facility Thursday morning for face-to-face talks. But hold everything: Things could get sticky as the discussions move toward training camp. Revis, due to make $1 million for the coming season, told ESPNNewYork.com that the Jets promised him a new contract by the start of the regular season. That seems curious, considering they own Revis' rights through 2012. It can create a slippery slope when a team makes a promise like that, and the Jets have been accused in the past of reneging with other players. "That's their word. That's what they said," said Revis, standing by his locker. "If you go back on your word, it's a problem." Even though the Jets' initial proposals weren't close to his asking price, according to sources, the All-Pro cornerback remains hopeful a deal can be struck by the start of the season. Revis didn't issue any threats, but he also wouldn't guarantee he'd report to training camp Aug. 1 under his existing contract. http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/news/story?id=5185484
Revis deserves a great contact. He played like he controller the field. One of the best CB's in the league.
