This looks to be a pretty decent smoking gun for tampering. What Mehta published 24 hours before Revis was released is what he signed for. The Jets cannot tell the media their bargaining numbers even off the record.

From his article:
There won’t be any hometown discounts for a team that hasn’t made the playoffs for four consecutive years — Revis understands the business of sports better than most athletes — so Johnson needs to make an offer to clearly separate the Jets from perennial winners like the Patriots.
So, what’s a strong deal?
The Jets would be wise to offer a five- or six-year contract with the idea of Revis retiring in green and white. The maximum value of the contract is largely meaningless. The real guarantees in the first three years should be the focus for both sides.
Revis signed a six-year deal ($16 million per year) with the Buccaneers after theJets traded him away before the 2013 draft. A multi-year deal with $48 million over the first three years, including at least $40 million in full guarantees, would be a strong and fair offer from the Jets.
