With time waning before training camp and no progress apparent in negotiations, Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis’ camp is ratcheting up the rhetoric.
Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News writes that Revis is “fully prepared” to hold out of training camp and isn’t worried about the 30-day rule that could put Revis at risk of losing an accrued season towards free agency. Translation: Revis says he’s ready to hold out past August 10 if he doesn’t get a deal.
“Simply put, Revis isn’t bluffing,” Mehta writes.
D’Brickashaw Ferguson’s contract extension is ultimately irrelevant here, unless it frees up time for the Jets front office to start making concessions to Revis.
Ultimately, we expect the issue to get resolved before the season, probably with a new deal. But Revis will likely have to follow through with his holdout threat to get there.
NYJ’s are heading south.
I can’t wait to see this guy exposed as the fraud he really is.
Good times!
Miami 1 up’ed new yawk once again in signing Lebron. Jests are in disarray with their best player… let the excuses roll.
BTW- The Sun shines brightest in Miami.
Yep. NYJ thought they were building the ultimate team with all of those wash-ups they’ve signed and now all they’re doing is pissing off their talented young players. Enjoy the limelight while it lasted NYJ because once the season starts you’ll be irrelavant again.
Hey Revis, threaten to head up route 95 and play there. That will light a fire under their asses.
I am NOT a Jets fan, but I hope NY’s front office let’s this prima donna sit. Revis is a GREAT player, but a contract is a contract and someone has to slam the floodgate shut or the League is going to be undone by the greed of the inmates.
Its funny that Revis is quoted a lot and he has never been quoted as saying anything close to what Florio is trying to sell. Four anti-Jet stories already today and when was the last Mankins story? Three weeks ago? The yellow journalist makes his agenda very obvious.
Just throw him a bunch of $ up front and have another “verbal agreement” to update the contract again in 2-3 years—b/c there is no way they can meet his long term demands w/o a CBA.
As a DIE HARD Patriots fan, naturally I HATE the Jets more then anything else in this entire world.
With that being said… I suggest all fans of every team in the league should tune out for the next month or so because there is going to be a TON of BS floating around your team. The media loves to just make up lies geared towards getting hits on their site and driving fans nuts. Lets all just see how this plays out on the field. Revis will be on the field and doing what he does day 1, just like Tom Brady will get a contract extension.

Maybe in three years he can do that, but I don’t think it will be much of a threat by then.
Lmao at all the drama queen athletes these days. Let him sit. So tired of seeing these guys SIGN CONTRACTS and expect to not have to fufill the duties related to it.
Just give him some incentives to kick seven 60 yard field goals and he should sign and be a happy Jet.

So true man!
Why do they even sign a contract? Some of these players always believe they are getting screwed ten minutes after they sign the last contract. A damn promise is a promise so live with it you morons.
I guess Revis and Ty Law are more alike than I thought. It’s one thing to build your game on your hometown hero! It’s another thing to ask for that kind of deal….Oh wait a minute, I forgot!
Rex has told him a million times he’s the best there is, so it makes total sense to me now!
the suns been shining on your 7-9 seasons for as long as i can remember u loser. get a life
Disregard my previous post, was thinking of Ed Reed when I wrote that. Coffee is brewing…
“the suns been shining on your 7-9 seasons for as long as i can remember ”
Sounds like you have a short memory to go along with your other body parts. Dolphins won the AFC East 2 years ago… time to kick the weed boy
Why is it that folks keep saying that Revis is a “great” player? He’s only played ONE season. Guys like Nnamdi Asomugha, Champ Bailey, and Charles Woodson are “great” players because they have strung together MUPTIPLE seasons of “great” play.
I say let Revis sit. He WILLINGLY signed his rookie contract. His lack of a payday compared to his level of play is HIS fault…NOT the organizations. REVIS should have had better faith in himself when he negotiated his rookie contract.
SMH
“Simply put, Revis isn’t bluffing,” Mehta writes. Well no one knows that until August 10th. If he shows up, then he was in fact, bluffing. Mehta may be a great writer and he may have won our fantasy football league last year but he’s still a clown.
Anyone can look great covering Ginn twice a year. Lets see how Revis does this year covering Marshall.
Maybe the Jets can get one of Antonio Cromartie’s baby mamas to take Revis’ place at cornerback?
Great to see “Revis Island” sink as fast as it formed.
the nfl player demands are starting to turn me off from the sport……..
@somefans
Hey buddy, I’m glad LeBron signed with you guys, now you actually have something positive to look forward to.
Revis will get signed, he’s too vital to the team to let him sit. Once again, I am not swayed by his threats. Once training camp comes around then I’ll start really paying attention.
the team came to him after last year and promised a new deal. They created this problem themselves…he still has time on his rookie deal. And relax Fish fans he’ll be here this year…dont order those division champ t-shirts yet.
And please Somefans with the Lebron BS…Its amazing how everyone in Miami became a Heat fan around 930 last night. Did you order your jersey this morning? Maybe people will show up to the basketball games now…but who knows…its Miami you guys cant even sell out a football game.
Jonky says: Four anti-Jet stories already today and when was the last Mankins story?
Good point, there definitely seems to be an agenda. That one post that Florio did about Ferguson’s contract was pathetic in it’s ‘we’-ness. I swear he’s turning into Perez Hilton and that’s not compliment in the slightest.
Now if only they could get fans to attend sporting events in Cryami. Dull-fins couldn’t sellout playoff games; Marlins couldn’t sell out the World Series and now the newest playoff team Cryamians will ignore the LukeWarms.
you could be a jet fan or a non jet fan but don’t sit there and tell me Darrelle Revis isn’t the best defensive player in the game today. You lose me @ that part. F the Jets but they’re damn lucky to have Revis. This is a passing league and what better deterrent than having a complete lock down corner?
@ HOI
“the team came to him after last year and promised a new deal.”
How do you know they ‘promised’ him a new deal… b/c his agent said so? How do you know they didn’t say something like… “we’ll have to work on getting a little more $, instead of that $1mm you’re set to make?”
Everyone’s a god damn agent these days… you all know everything, don’t you… naturally, b/c you were in the room with them, right HOI?
who cares anyway – when they finish 6-10 will it really matter anyway – I would maybe let him play nickel or dime back on the phins…
Great story in ESPN Mag that came out this week… basically saying Revis is “The Best Defender in ALL of Sports”…
I think Florio touched on it a couple of days ago too. Of course stiring the pot about his contract dispute and not much else.
Let’s bypass all the redtape and put Revis in Canton…He’ll be the only active player in the Hall.
Revis is awesome, but Osumgha is better.

______________________________
Another wannabe fan that has been snorting too much. Revis shut down all the elite WRs this year including Moss, TO and OchoCinco twice, Andre Johnson, VJackson, etc. Covering a good, but hardly elite, reciever like Marshall, Revis could do blind folded.
The bust, Ted Ginn burned one CB for a TD in all his time in Miami, Darrelle Revis. With or without him, the Jets will implode with their lack of chemisty and “me first” attitude. You alwyas have Joe Namath.

Okay there buddy, we have plenty to cheer about here in Miami. The Dolphins and Heat are building teams to contend for Championships for years. No desperate one hit wonders here.
As for Revis, I think he’ll back down and play too. He may be unhappy but he really has little leverage.

———————————————-Actually, the jests and revis had trouble with Ginn. Speed kills and he got behind them for TD several times over the past 3 Dolphin wins.
As for Marshall, he’ll simply out muscle lil revis like a rag doll. He too big and strong and revis will have his hands full trying to tackle the Beast. He will be expolsed this year- a good corner, but not as good as the noo jersey’er think.

its offical…you’re retarded. Andre Johnson isnt big and strong…Vicent Jackson isnt big and strong? Revis shut both of them down. But I forgot…once you guys signed Marshall he instantly became the best WR in the universe. So what do you guys have Marshall at now??….6’10 275….3.9 4oyd dash? Can you guys get a cape that big to fit this super hero. Better be careful he doesnt get one of your guys shot.
I realize thaqt Jet players are cognizant of the serious injury that Washington suffered last season before getting an extension. I am wondering if players/teams don’t cover themselves with insurance against serious injury to key players. It seems all the rhetoric regarding injury risk before an extension is moot if insurance is available to protect against such an incident. But is it available?
Somefans—–What ever you say Chico..
yeah @jonky, florio is a pats apologist, which is why he is trying to get the pats fined for the ‘brady-inured- ribs’ non-story. Florio doesn’t like any team. he’s an equal opportunity muckraker
Miami = Stick with basketball cause you jokers aint never gonna win the big one in the nfl. Anyone who can root a team with Teal colors and a porpoise on their head has gotta be a fag anyway.
If Marino couldn’t get you there your never gonna get there.
Lookin foorward to the NYJETS beat down your gonna get this season
It’s gonna be sweet

Dolphin fans are such losers, you guys are all cooked, too much sun or sitting around being jobless idiots. On the bright side of things, South FL just got a nice little stimulus package called the LeBron Effect that might actually give you guys some jobs so you aren’t sitting here pressing F5 every minute refreshing the comments so you can amuse your dumb asses. Did any of you get a check from the Dolphins to raid the comments section on all things Jets this week? No I didn’t think so, so get lost…

Wow. Can’t seem to handle the truth very well can you?

Gotta disagree with that. When his stupid coach and all their stupid fans are telling him daily about how great he is and how he’s the cog that makes that “D” work, I’d say he has some leverage.
Revis will make things worse if he returns without a contract so the Jets better get this done or else risk him complaining openly when he returns
Ha! A Jests fan telling other teams they “ain’t never” gonna win the SB. Maybe you might want to learn your own teams SB history before you spray forth that garbage. 1969? Really? Typical NYer.
We finally found someone to shut down Revis, and it is — Revis.

If “anyone” can look good doing it… how the hell does the self described “best defender in the league” suck so bad at it? LMAO!

Yeah? So are the Rams. I’m still unimpressed.
realistically revis is in the cat bird seat,forget about what you think,the jets have a problem,they have to fill up that new stadium.no revis,no sellout.the jet fans will take out their anger on the management,that’s what new yorkers do.
the other thing the jets have to worry about is how the media plays this dispute.the idea of the media ginning this up is not without precedence.
My, my.
Trouble in paradise with the 2010 World Champion Jets, whoda thunk?
@wock The drunk interception machine, for whom Pete Roselle FIXED the one shining moment of a Superbowl win for 41 years ago? LMAO! He’s a joke… just like the Jest!
To truly appreciate Namath you need to see the facts in the proper perspective. He was a 5 time Pro Bowl QB. He set and still holds the record for yards passing in a 14 game season(1967, 4007 yds) Come back player of the year 1974, Afl player of the year 68 and 69. Not bad for a guy who sometimes had to have both his kness drained at half time to continue playing.
Oh, don’t forget Super Bowl MVP.
So replace the w in your name with a c to properly reflect your favorite half time snack
@ Jetsman80
Thank you for showing us how classy and intelligent jets fans are once again…
