Yeah, Woody Johnson personally stuffed a football with feathers and gave it to Revis along with the check...That contract was hilarious the day it was printed. It was pretty clear that they opened negotiations by handing him a blank check and crooning "pleeeease!"
Great player, future hall-of-famer, and perhaps the greatest contract milker the league has ever seen.
Thanks for the research!Revis is still owed $8,000,000 in guaranteed money next year (6 million of his 13 million dollar salary is guaranteed and a 2 million dollar roster bonus. No way he sees his 10 million salary in 2018. But cutting him next year, they would only save $7.3 million in cap space, BUT they would still have to pay him $8 million for doing nothing!
You have to hand it to Revis, he has played the hold out, switch teams, contract game better than any other player in NFL history!
How much money has Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis earned during his NFL career?
Here's a look at how much Revis has earned in cash during each of his NFL seasons:
• 2007 (Jets): $5.319 million (including $4,700,500 signing bonus)
• 2008 (Jets): $5,082,500 (including $2.2 million roster bonus and $2,412,500 restructure bonus)
• 2009 (Jets): $6.26 million (including $5.7 million roster bonus)
• 2010 (Jets): $8.038 million (including $7.5 million base salary)
• 2011 (Jets): $25 million (including $18 million option bonus)
• 2012 (Jets): $7.5 million (including $4.5 million base salary)
• 2013 (Buccaneers): $16 million (including $13 million base salary)
• 2014 (Patriots): $12 million (including $10 million signing bonus)
So that works out to career cash earnings of $85,199,500 -- give or take. But who's counting?
Toss in his $39 million fully guaranteed from the Jets, as part of his new contract, and he's at $124,199,500 in career cash earnings -- $96,199,500 of which has been paid by Jets owner Woody Johnson.
Revis is a shadow of his former self, but I suspect that he still has a few big plays left in him. Let's just hope they don't come against the Pats.
The IRS is, and so are the state level tax collectors. They get a big slice, roughly half. Then add in his agents, and his family, and his posse, and he's feeding a lot of mouths. But even still, he's set for life, unless he's a total idiot (but when it comes to money, many NFL players are idiots).So that works out to career cash earnings of $85,199,500 -- give or take.

And now by locking down SOOO much money on DL and DB that the Jets will need an awful lot of awful cheap players to be able to contend going forward.All Pats fans owe Woody their gratitude for paying him all those years to hone his craft on a losing team so he could help the Pats win #4.
I wonder if that ridiculous contract would've been offered by the jets to Revis if he had played for any team other than the Patriots in 2014
Sometimes I think that our weaker sister to the south loses their minds a little when trying to outdo the Pats
Exactly this. We have no way of knowing what was actually offered. I have a hard time believing Bellichick offered anything even close to what was reported.I'd be interested to know what the ball park discussions were with the Patriots. So glad it didn't happen, even 8 million per seems a little overpriced after yesterday. He'll probably bounce back but definitely showing signs of being worn out.

No he wasn't. He got torched often last year too.Hes not as good as he was in 2009 but he still was an elite Top 5 CB last year.
Will he be one this year is a serious question.
