With the first episode of Hard Knocks, during which the team did more than a little grandstanding regarding the contract dispute with cornerback Darrelle Revis, in the books, the Jets and Revis’ agents have finally agreed on something, other than to continue to disagree.
Moving forward, the two sides won’t be talking to the media about the situation. (Starting . . . . now!)
“Both parties have had conversations to clear the air and will continue
to negotiate with the hopes of reaching an agreement,” the Jets and Revis’ agents said in a joint statement. “From this point
forward, all discussions regarding these negotiations will remain
confidential.”
That’s fine. And it sounds good on paper. But, if we recall correctly, the NFL and the NFL Players Association once struck a similar deal, which has long since been abandoned by both sides.
Frankly, we’re confused that Revis’ agents would agree to radio silence, on the heels of the Jets essentially presenting a closing argument to the court of public opinion.
Then again, the agreement isn’t worth the paper on which it looks good. It’s meaningless as a practical matter, and unenforceable as a legal matter.
Our guess? Regardless of the intention, this deal won’t last long. “Confidentiality” isn’t in Rex Ryan’s vocabulary; it has way more than four letters.
Revis doesn’t want the world/teammates to know he’s turning down so much money.
The Jets want it out in the open “bring in the whole team” … Revis wants it confidential. Its a smart ploy by the Jets it makes it seem as if Revis is being unreasonable and puts them on the morale high ground.
Furthermore it sounds as if Revis’ people already know they can’t win a PR war against the Jets.
Time to spend some of that money you are going to get and higher a PR firm, Mr. Island.
Neil Schwartz is in WAY over his head – His whole client list is Hold-Outs…
These litle boys are about to get NFL Blacklisted – mark it down..
NEVER again will a Schwartz client be a Jets draft pick – I’m pretty sure ATL and SD are on board with tht as well.,.
Haha, let me get this straight. rosenthal writes an article flaming the jets for not keeping things behind closed doors. then florio writes an article flaming the jets for attempting to keep things behind closed doors. BRAVO!!
Stop stealing stories
Florio, you admitted yesterday you don’t have HBO, and this morning wrote a post saying you say a 130-second clip of it on youtube.com with Rex Ryan swearing.
So, you haven’t seen it, correct?
But that doesn’t get clicks on your precious website, does it?
So don’t say, “during which the team did more than a little grandstanding regarding the contract dispute with cornerback Darrelle Revis”.
They didn’t. I’m not a fan of any AFC East team, so am unbiased here. But in typical Florio fashion, something out of nothing is the name of the game.
I saw players saying it was his business to attend to, I saw G.M. and owner both trying to resolve the situation. Yes, they were frustrated, as it is a frustrating situation for everyone involved, I’d imagine.
There was even the scene of Revis on the side of a fans’ made poster represtenting a milk carton, and the chant, “we want Revis” by the crowd.
Stick to what you know best, which is next to nothing.
Thank God I don’t give a Rats ass about Your opinion!
“Confidentiality” isn’t in Rex Ryan’s vocabulary; it has way more than four letters.
Now that was a classic
Can we get the Jets to stop talking all together?
If I had a ranch, Id bet it on the Ravens in week one.
Let Revis sit out this year and for next years strike year. That should pretty much set the precedent for players with multiple years left on their contract. Sanchez needs another year anyway before they can truely be considered a threat to win the Super Bowl.
My guess is Revis wants to join his teammates and a deal happens by the first preseason game!
What ??
The practice is already cancelled and the entire Newark team is ready to negotiate.
Guess when Rex has an idea it depends on which way the wind is blowing.
Tannenbaum came off as a real asshole last night, patting himself on the back for the Holmes trade which I remember the Jets offered more than what any other team offered for a player one step away from a year long suspension.
were over this story florio…what do you have on the Old Gunslinger?
That’s like asking Rex Ryan to give up cheesburgers and ice cream.
Stfu florio.
Howd you get this job anyway? U think ur clever with ur little quips. Well ur wrong. Hack.
Please just get a deal done already! So tired of hearing about this.
Also, “isn’t worth the paper it was written on” is how normal people speak…
Good! Tired of hearing that joke of a team and the overrated trash that is bevis.
With the first episode of Hard Knocks, during which the team did more than a little grandstanding regarding the contract dispute with cornerback Darrelle Penis, in the books, the New York Not Yets and Penis’ agents have finally agreed to something, other than to continue to disagree.
Moving forward, the two sides won’t be talking to the media about the situation……………….Do all of us a big favor Florio, drop the every two second articles on the overrated New York Not Yets, their fat “non stop eating head coach” Fat F–k Ryan, and thier very overrated CB Darrelle Penis.
The Jets won that round. They did the vast majority of the talk/leaking (Revis’ side called them out once) and now nothing else will be said.
How the hell did you ever manage to align yourself with NBC?
Somebody at the network obviously dropped the ball.
es, you did read the title correctly. Chris Chambers’ stalker was so awesome at stalking that Chambers decided he wanted to marry her. That’s right on July 24, 2010 entered wedding bliss with Stacey Bernice Saunders in Las Vegas, NV.
Saunders was Chambers’ mistress while married. Chambers’ wife found out about Saunders and Chambers’ broke it off, which any husband in their right mind should do. But that did not deter Saunders, it lead her to a stalking campaign that culminated in 11 counts of stalking. The San-Diego Union Times had the account:
A 27-year-old San Diego woman who had an affair with former Charger Chris Chambers has been charged with 11 misdemeanor counts for allegedly stalking and harassing the wide receiver’s family.
Stacey Bernice Saunders is due in court Jan. 19 for arraignment, said Paul Levikow, a spokesman for the District Attorney’s Office.
Chambers’ wife, Christina, told San Diego police in April that Saunders was harassing her with phone calls. Two months later, Chambers requested a temporary restraining order against Saunders, saying she has “launched an incessant attack verbally on me, and now my wife, her mother and sister.”
Saunders even contended that she had Chambers’ child and the child died at two months of age. Private investigators couldn’t find a birth or death record or any child. I’m quite sure she will cash in on the ‘baby ticket’ very soon. Hopefully, she won’t imagine the next baby.
Chambers’ married Saunders two days after his divorce.
Dude. Really. Start another website called Jetsfootballtalk.com if its that important to you that you need to post every other post about them.
The only folks that care is the delusional Jets fan, the rest of America knows they will fail and is tired of their loudmouth fatass coach.
Mike are you on the HBO payroll too? Jesus dude, this is your fifth article of the day mentioning the Jets, Revis, and friggin’ Hard Knocks…. i like PFT but does the word overkill mean anything?
Our guess? Regardless of the intention, this deal won’t last long. “Confidentiality” isn’t in Rex Ryan’s vocabulary; it has way more than four letters.
———
“Confidentiality”? No. “STFU”? Yes.
“Sanchez needs another year anyway before they can truely be considered a threat to win the Super Bowl. ?”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! He’ll need more than that. They won’t even be able to field a team. Too many bad contracts on the books and players that are unhappy… jets have had 41 years and still don’t know what they’re doing. Media whores is about it.
How’s those PSLs selling these days? LMAO!
CJ SPILLER says: “Do all of us a big favor Florio, drop the every two second articles on the overrated New York Not Yets, their fat “non stop eating head coach” Fat F–k Ryan, and thier very overrated CB Darrelle Penis.”
Now that we know what the 12 year old’s think…..would any adults like to chime in?
Darrelle Penis? Seriously? This website gets more lowbrow by the minute
Until the next press conference anyway, right?
Florio,
I heard Revis wants 160 Million and he turned down 110 million….Fact???? Check it out…

Thank You!!! Well said………..sick of it!!!
I’d love to see more Dolphins news on this site. Oh wait, nobody cares about the bottom 10 teams. Carry on then Florio!
If the Revis camp is pushing for this confidentiality then that tells you they themselves think the demands are unreasonable and don’t want others to know. Ryan probably wants to threaten open forum because the Jets have probably already offered him a massively lucrative deal and most outsiders and team mates might be angry to find out he wants more.
If I were the Jets I’d offer the kid a lot of money because he’s worth a lot. I’d make the offer public. And if they don’t accept it then let the kid sit on the couch all season. You can only do so much.
Soooooo how will Rex coach the team if he has to wear a ball gag and a muzzle to stop him from talking about this to the media ?
It’s just building the drama in the show “Hard Knocks” Revis will get his deal come in and be the savior. Really what could happen is Sanchez just blows and they needed Brett Farve this whole time! GO FIGURE! Anyone notice how big of a homo Sanchez is? Talk about a dude acting infront of the camera.. I have the best hand on the team blah blah, “I dont even like tacos” that freaking homo!

No, not really!! Not if it’s about the New York Not Yets Anallinguist.
Does this mean Rex Ryan will STFU????
I think NBC is going after the under 25 y/o male niche with this PFT site. Immature and crude comments rule the roost on this site, so posters are either pretending they are adolescents, or they actually are. There is a strong impression that many posters are at work in some boring entry level job. So NBC is after the ‘wannabe somebody’ crowd with this site.

Exactly – If I’m the Jets I don’t take that call from Shwartsz and Feinmonster…..
I Stand pat this week till next Hard Knocks and let the Revis offer be known…
The Jets could have just Burried ScwartsFerger….
Get ready to read about all kinds of leaks from both camps now.
It’s really funny how most everyone hates on Florio and his articles. Do you think you could do better? If so, then start a website. Dang, if you hate him and what he writes so much, then why do I find the same people obviously reading his articles and submitting negative comments. Read something else morons.
I wish you would commit to confidentiality on all these damn Revis posts.

Not true!!!
Florio will kick the Browns in the teeth any chance he gets.
This drama is something the JETS did NOT need.
Revis will sit out the year.
Drama is never good in building team unity.
these agents are a joke — HOF player…jets are scum but agents are worse..i’m on the jets side for this one.
Haynesworth, Jets, Revis, Favre and Saban is all this website talks about. This site went from one of the best football sites to one of the worst it’s rediculous
Ahhhhhhh…..the saga between Revis and the Jets continues…..
Shall we call this sage “Revis & Butthead”? I’ll let you figure out who Butthead is.
“the agreement isn’t worth the paper on which it looks good.”..
YEAH!..
wait.. WHAT?!
Florio’s fans the flames to built up hit counts… you know… kinda like what Rush does on the radio. You can’t take them seriously.
@Flipadelphia….when is the last time the Eagles won a SB????? NEVER!!! woooo one is better than none no matter how long ago it was…can’t wait to see McNabb burn you guys and run Reid out of town…
Belicheck, Pioli, Mc Daniels; “We will talk about the players that are here”. Any questions about the players that are here to practice? No, then there is nothing to be said.
1998: Miami had a solid 10–6 season in 1998 with a career season for receiver O.J. McDuffie, but it was not enough to get past the 12-4 New York Jets into first place in the division. The Dolphins beat the Bills in the wild card round, but lost in the next round to the eventual champion Denver Broncos.
1999: Miami suffered the second worst playoff loss in NFL history against the Jacksonville Jaguars: 62–7. After the season, Jimmy Johnson left the team and Marino retired.
2001: The Dolphins lost in the first round of the playoffs 20–3 to the Baltimore Ravens.
2002: Miami pulled off an impressive win over the Oakland Raiders and sat at 9–5 with two weeks left in the season, in prime position to steal the AFC East. However, despite dominating the New England Patriots for most of the game in week 17, the Dolphins blew an 11-point lead with mere minutes remaining in the game that led to a heartbreaking loss. Due to a tiebreaker, both the Dolphins and Patriots lost out on the playoffs as the Jets took the AFC East title.
2007: The Dolphins hit rock bottom in 2007, losing eight games in a row before the bye week, five of which were by three points or less. A loss to Philadelphia in Week 11 sealed their fate for the season, and the next game was a rare 3-0 defeat in Pittsburgh. A win in Week 15 over the Baltimore Ravens ensured that the Dolphins would not have a winless season, but the last two matches were lost, ending Miami’s 2007 campaign at 1-15.
2008: In 2008, the Dolphins performed a 180-degree turnaround, aided by new coach Tony Sparano. The team ended at 11-5 and won the division title, making for the greatest single-season turnaround in NFL history. However, they were routed out of their own building and the playoffs by Baltimore, 27-9.
I always wondered what the people that comment on YouTube did in their spare time.. appears they comment here as well.
@ bleedinggaggreen- you forgot to mention that Dan Marino killed the jet franchise for years with the “clock play.” Wouldn’t want to leave that tidbit out. What did they go after that 3-34? Now That’s the jets we all know!
@ Bleeding Green
Whats the point of posting historical stats about the Dolphins in random articles that have nothing to do with them? It’s getting old and it makes you look pretty dumb most of the time…just fyi
Rome just had a pretty good burn on Rex Ryan and the Revis situation. He pointed out that Ryan is always saying no one player is above the team but he wants to cancel practice so that EVERY player has to drop what they’re doing to focus on one guy?? Also, he ended with “Stick to dropping F-bombs in hard knocks, lapbanding and (forgot the last one, but all in all it was pretty funny)”
Wow Florio, now you are trying to be cute? Not possible..you will always be the troll and dredge that you have always been. Please do go back to sticking your head up any New England ass you can find and take your bitch Rosenthal with you.
@2buku4u
Rich Eisen and Jason LaCanfora chuckled at Rexy last night on Total Access. Eisen suggested he may have been kidding about canceling practice and the entire team ganging up on Revis, then they both let out a little chuckle. I guess even the talking heads are starting to laugh at them now and not jest fans of the other 31 teams.
in other words, bend over revis
I dont care at all about this story but instead would rather comment on the first Hard Knocks episode. I felt extremely embarrassed about the fact that players and coaches keeping calling rookie draft pick John Connor “the Terminator”.
Have they seen the movie? Dont they know that John Connor was the leader of human resistance against the machines? Typical idiot players and coaches.
actually the only fish team that mattered was in 1974.
Boy the fish fans really harp on 1969, gosh has it been 37 friggin years since Fish won the big one???
Lost in 1983 and 1985. Well, say what you will at least the Jets have never LOST a super bowl 1-0.
37 years, wow you Suck almost as much as the Jets do!!!
so does this mean you’ll stop talking about it?
@GreenAssGrass
Are you really bragging that the jests have only been to ONE superbowl? Weren’t you on here earlier bragging about how they made it to the AFC Championship game? Typical retarded jest fan thinking that is a bigger honor than making it to the SuperBowl. How funny can jests fans get?
KoaMisi……on here all day every day.
some existence you got there buddy LOL
KoaMisiFan is probably the most uneducated person that posts on here…Does he even have a job? Or, Does he still live at home with his momma? He posts about 10 times on each Jets posting, not including however many times he posts on the dolphins news…DUDE! GET A FREAKIN’ LIFE!
@cunninglinquist
You’re right. I’m lucky enough to be able to play on the computer “all day every day” and still afford my groceries. Are you jealous?
@Chump Daily
You sound pretty jealous too. How do you know I don’t have a very boring job and can log onto the computer whenever I feel like? Oh, because an idiot on the internet says so. My mistake. As far as uneducated……I’m reading jests fans posts all day long. I sound like a freaken’ genious compared to you and all them.
