But Revis cares. He wants to be paid like an indispensable part of the Jets. He wants to be paid like he is THE difference between the Jets winning the Super Bowl vs. not winning the Super Bowl.
Now a guy the Panthers ran out of town because his waist size and mouth were bigger than his production is comparing his relative contribution to the team to what Revis brings. So the Jets can win with or without Revis? Thanks pal! That will help my search for $20M a year!
I'm not disputing the point. I happen to agree that no one guy is bigger than the team. However, that is a comment you make after a key player goes down with a season-ending injury or leaves via free agency. It is not a comment you make about a guy in your locker room who is looking for elite money.
People were all confused about how Brady said a whole bunch o' nuthin about his contract situation. Brady knows he will get his money eventually, but he also knows that Mankins is looking to get his piece as well. Anything Brady says about his situation, positive or negative, could be played as a shot against Mankins.
So I don't have a problem with what Jenkins said. The problem is that he opened his yap at all. With the core of the team looking for huge money in the next year or so, I'm sure they would appreciate Jenkins just using his pie hole for inhaling pie(s).
