It was reported last week that the New York Jets will keep all of their options open when it comes to All-Pro cornerback Darrell Revis,
including potentially trading the top cover corner. Revis was left “speechless,”
and one source says that Jets’ owner Woody Johnson the cornerback is as good as
“gone,” according to ESPN New York.
"I gathered from Woody that, in his mind, (Revis) is gone," the source said.
Revis is entering the final guaranteed year of his contract.
In his agreement with the Jets, it’s stipulated that the team can’t use their
franchise tag on him. Revis has showed in the past that he’s willing to hold
out in order to get paid, and he’s currently recovering from major knee
surgery.
All of these factors make it difficult for the Jets’ to
re-sign Revis to a contract both sides consider reasonable.
If the Jets were to trade Revis, they would be seeking a
significant package of picks, including first- and second-round selections. The
New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, San Francisco 49ers, Buffalo Bills,
Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers are among the teams “highly interested”
in Revis, according to Chris Wesseling of NFL.com.
