They're paying Mark Sanchez an absurd amount of money, and they're paying Santonio Holmes 10 million dollars a year to be a number one receiver. Revis is one of the few players on the team who actually delivers the performance that they pay him for.
The Jets are already 6 million under the cap, and they'll be much further under the cap once they get rid of some of the players listed above. Paying Revis is not the issue; it's paying all the players who don't deserve it.

Jets will need cap room next season for the following:
1. WR
2. RB
3. Both Guard Positions
4. MLB and OLB (we're going to a 4-3 next season)
5. Pass Rushing DE
6. TE Upgrade
7. Safety (Landry or Bell are gone maybe both)
8. #2 CB (Wilson sucks as a starter)
None of that's cheap and btw, Sanchez and Holmes with their $20 million guaranteed combined are going nowhere after this season.
