Interesting takes. I don't claim to be I know how this will end, but I think you are both far off on the market for Revis. First of all, teams will want to fully utilize that $6M. Second, I find it highly unlikely he gets a multi-year deal. Why? Teams find him too risky at 31 coming off a terrible year where he acknowledged his body is breaking down, and Revis knows his stock is at an all-time low. If he has a good year, he could get another big contract. He has a habit of betting on himself a year at a time, especially when his stock is low. I think he wouldn't want a deal where the team controls him for years at a relatively low cost. He signed a the deal with the Patriots to set himself up for the monster deal with the Jets, after the Tampa Bay experiment devalued him.
I think that the Jets contract situation will naturally lends itself to end game of a minimum one year deal for the reasons listed above. Revis gets it...he understands what the $6M guarantee means, which is that the veterans minimum makes sense for everyone this season, as it won't change his bottom line income in the slightest.

@JetFan79 , I am sure if he actually did get a deal similar to the one you laid out, it would involve a structure where his 2017 salary is the veterans minimum. It just doesn't make sense for any team to pay him a dime over that amount for the 2017 season.
