The New York Jets plan to explore all options when it comes
to cornerback Darrelle Revis, including trading the All-Pro, according to
Albert Breer of NFL.com.
The New York Jets are expected to explore all options on
cornerback Darrelle Revis' future, two sources apprised of the team's plans
said Wednesday.
During meetings with general manager candidates, owner Woody
Johnson expressed a need to determine Revis’ future with the team, according to
Breer. There is some doubt of what a long-term contract would look like, and
given the Jets’ salary-cap situation, one of the options is trading Revis.
For Revis’ part, he has always wanted to be a member of the
Jets and wants to continue playing for the team for the remainder of his career.
Revis is due $6 million (with a $9 million cap hit) in 2013,
and, per terms of his contract, he can't receive the Jets’ franchise tag in
2014. Revis ended his 2010 holdout from the Jets by signing a seven-year
contract that could void after four years, based on the cornerback hitting
training-camp reporting dates, according to Breer.
Revis is also coming off anterior cruciate ligament surgery,
which ended his 2012 season. For all of these reasons, teams may be more
hesitant to surrender a top package for the cornerback despite his immense
talent.
