My thoughts:
1) At his age, Revis wants to have a good day-to-day experience with his teammates. He wants to go to work with hard-working people and then play with hard-working people. Leaving for the unknown, moving to a new location, starting all over again may not be worth $1 million extra dollars in salary to somebody who needs to stay mentally focused day in and day out.
2) There is no better player to learn about staying elite in his 30's than Tom Brady. Brady is not just inspirational, it shows the road to playing for 5+ more years goes through the Patriots. If he could be within 10% of the highest paid cornerback but play for many years on a team of hard-working people who don't endanger his health, he will be happy with that. He could even play for 7-10 years at the right price and role.
3) The articles about giving Jets a chance last off-season shows he's loyal to growing with one team, which is good for the Patriots.
4) The Patriots were not going to afford to sign Revis with Talib on the team. Of course the Patriots were not in the conversation last off-season, while the Jets were (his former team). We will have to see what happens.
5) If he feels he's earned more than he's being offered with the Patriots, he will leave. Every player has an ego, and he wants to feel like he's always getting better, not worse. The "best deal" will not be only about the monetary amount. He chose the Patriots once already, after all.
6) I think his day-to-day experiences with the Patriots will have a bigger reason for him to stay than winning the Super Bowl. To play devil's advocate, if the Patriots fall short, he may want to try again. If the Pats win, he'll have a ring, and his value might be even higher than before (especially if he is a contender for Super Bowl MVP) and he might be happy to join another team that pays him an insane amount. Who knows!
7) It's possible to structure the contract in such a way he can be called a top-paid cornerback while having to prove himself every year to actually get paid (with a high minimum of course). He might be happy with something like that.
8) If he ends up on another team, it's not because the Patriots are cheap or uncreative, but because there was something else he didn't like or liked much better elsewhere (i.e. Rex coaches another team and pays him an insane amount.)
9) As long as our team is drama-free and the Patriots want him back, there's a good chance he will be back. And if not, Belichick is good at creating a balanced team and will put the money elsewhere.
