Who made 3 million last year? What? While people are paying 35 K for PSL'S? You gotta be kidding me!!!! Well, guess what? Revis threw them a curveball and buckled their knees."

ima lovin' it.
I came over here looking for the "Revis Holdout" thread, there wasn't one, so this one is it by default. There should be one, since it's the hottest by-proxy Pats related story right now.

The New York media is ******* moronic. Do they not know he has 3 years left on his contract?!? Hellooooooooooooooooo

If that's really the case then how utterly foolish of Rex to feed the head of the beast that is Revis Island full of delusions of grandeur, and how utterly stupid of Tannenbaum to open Pandora's Box when his hands were tied to deal with the consequences. Take Revis off your JETS team and you don't even sniff the playoffs last year on a double rollover gimme...

They also realize he has willing blown up the guarantees of $20M included in those last three years so it's a pretty good bet he's holding out for the long haul. He's prepared to sit on his ass and watch you play from his couch, like his uncle did, and then await his trade to someone who will pay him in guaranteed $$$ before he sets foot on the field again. It hasn't worked out for a player in a decade, but as fate would have it the last player it did work out for is his mother's brother...

I'm honestly expecting him to holdout for the season at this point. Shame.

Well, at least you won your annual Super Bowl this offseason.

Yes! I'm grateful for that at least.

Rex is still babbling about interim contingincy plans until Revis is back, while his home boy Bart Scott has already thrown in the towel on Revis showing at all this season. If Revis stays out it will be the first big crack in the Tubby Rex Magic Motovational armor that has until now deflected all the criticism of his viability as an actual, functional, NFL HC.

The number of years left on his contract is all but irrelevant. It was the Jets that approached Revis regarding adjusting the deal. The years didn't matter to the team, other than possibly using them as a hammer in negotiations, so why should they matter to the player?

Wait! Think about this. Remember Namath's excerable QB rating and penchant for picks? Maybe JETS fans are, like a stopped clock, right now and then.

Rex and Tanny didn't help their own cause to be sure but I think this holdout was inevitable after the non stop media praise of Revis Island. People that know Revis's camp say they realize his hype is at an all time high and they are taking advantage of the situation. He was doing this no matter what Tanny and Rex said.
