Darrelle Revis is the face of the NFL, maybe all professional sports, in New York City. There's no one on the Giants or Jets with the same star power as Revis. Everybody is lined up with endorsement offers and media appearances. He has a cash machine at his disposal that isn't available here. My guess is that he'll make more money from endorsements in 2015 than he makes playing football.
Revis is making hay when the sun is shining. It won't be lost in all the exposure that he is a Super Bowl champion, and that championship came with the Patriots.
Tune - I stand corrected. You were right. Revis is a phucking whore. It's obvious $ means more to him than hoisting a banner and defending a championship. I guess I just didn't like hearing it when he hadn't officially left the Pats.
I don't think it makes him a whore and I also don't think it is really all about the money to him. According to Forbes, Revis didn't have very much in the way of endorsements, which is generally true of all non-quarterbacks. My opinion is that it is less about money and more about being an iconic figure. He just wants the spotlight and to be the face of the city again like he was back in the Rex Ryan days. It didn't matter if the Jets sucked. It meant more to be the king in NY than the other guy in Foxboro.
