Uh-Oh. Revis hold-out news.
[url]http://tracking.si.com/2012/06/06/new-york-jets-darrelle-revis-holdout-reaction/[/url]
[QUOTE]New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis received death threats when he held out from training camp in 2010, so he is confident he can handle any fallout from fans over another possible holdout this summer, he told the New York Daily News‘ Gary Myers. “I don’t know if you looked at my Twitter,” he told Myers. “I was getting death threats and everything. I’m getting stuff now on Twitter.” Pro Football Talk reported that [B]Revis recently responded to one negative tweet from a fan by responding, “shut up”.[/B] Revis ended his holdout in 2010 after getting a frontloaded four-year deal. He made $32.5 million over the first two years but is now scheduled to make only $13.5 million over the final two. He wants the deal renegotiated again and has said he is unsure if he will report to training camp on time. Myers reports that as part of the contract, if Revis holds out again, the Jets can extend the deal for three more seasons at a reasonable cost. But if Revis finishes the contract, the team cannot use its franchise tag on him. He needs to weigh his options and decide his best plan of action. He does not seem worried about the Jets’ reaction. [B]“I’m a corporation, too,” he said.[/B] :eek: [/QUOTE] Normally I don't concern myself with this, but that last part is telling me he's turning into a big diva!! :steamin: Especially when your attacking fans.

8 years, $96 million. Do it. $12 million per year makes him the highest paid CB in the NFL.
we don't need this drama. |

It's gotta be tough convincing your guys to be team-first players when your best player is such a me player.

I'm threw with this guy, I never fully recovered from his 1st holdout, let along his 2nd and now his possible 3rd.
His legacy with Jets fans will be all the holdouts and me 1st attitude. Shame really, he could have had a Namath like legacy. |

What a diva that Revis is. :rolleyes:[/QUOTE] Right, cuz other pro-athetles never get those kinds of tweets... Yet somehow they just brush it off?? Thick skin my friend. But how do you expect people to react 2 years after he held out to become the highest paid CB that he's going to hold out again... Mind boggling. |

How do you figure? 12M/yr is less than he made in each of the last two seasons. More people getting upset over nothing. Revis will be there when training camp starts. |

trade him asap. He`s the biggest CANCER the Jets can have. I would trade him for as much as the Jets can possibly get for him at this point. He is tarnished. Other owners see what he truly is(greed driven corporation)and may not even touch him with a 10` pole. The Jets should`ve traded him after his first holdout where he didn`t honor his contract. That there was a sign to move him at top dollar/trade value. The Jets did not win a SB anytime recently without him, and they certainly have not won a SB with him.

Trading him is not the solution, unless we were offered like 3 1st round picks!! But this isn't Madden so, the best we can do is keep re-negotiating.. Besides Tanny can bring down the Hammer with that 3 year hold-out clause.:yes: |

So much for thick skin.. You're Darelle Revis, you already make millions, just ignore him. Instead your going to attack the guy who has pretty much the same opinion as a majority of jets fans after 2 holdouts?!?! Thats not going to keep fans on your side. T.O says hello. :D |

So if Revis simply plays out the final two years he can walk and the Jets will not be able to franchise him, correct?
This is a risky but potentially lucrative option for Revis. Although, how old will he be in two years, 30? He's probably one final big deal for 5 or 6 years somewhere. |

Yeah, reading this non story brought the word Diva to mind.
Another story about a hold out that isn't a hold out that brings the same tried and true moronic replies to a guy who isn't holding out or hasn't said he will hold out. Enough with people thinking he's selfish and that he's a team killer and working backward from there. He's done nothing more than what any and every player does when he can and every single player in his locker room is behind him for doing so. Unlike fans they understand this is a business. |
