Re: Official Training Camp and Preseason Thread
I forget all the details, but the issue is guaranteed money. The Jets offers have included very little of it. They don't want to give him a ton of money up front with the labor uncertainty, and some weird cap/contract issues keep them from guaranteeing money down the road.
It's turned ugly because Revis believes that the Jets have lied to him, and leaked things to the media to make him look greedy, like that report that he was looking for $20 million a year. Who knows, but it's not the first time the Jets have been accused of lying to players about their contract situation. I tend to sign with Revis.
Have to figure they will eventually get something done though, Revis is too important to this defense.
