PrintNo surprise to any of us here at GGN, as we've figured this would be the case since yesterday.
The bad news was reported by Manish Mehta of NYDN:
Breaking: Darrelle revis is officially holding out, per source.TheJetsStream Jets Revis' agent Neil Schwartz on how long holdout may last: "ask the jets."
Not going to beat this one to death, being that we've discussed it all week. We know what the deal is: Revis wants a long-term deal, the Jets' organization wants a band aid or short-term fix.
One of the sides needs to stop being so greedy. From the sideline, it appears as if one side is trying their best to come up with a quick fix to end this impasse, yet the other one will not budge and is not interested in finding a middle ground here.
CAN WE JUST PLAY SOME FOOTBALL??? (in Mike Ditka voice)

It sucks but
I don’t really blame him for not showing up. He’s getting advice from his agents, and there’s not much else he can do except be absent. What else can he do? Show up and get lightheaded again? Not give it 100% once he’s there?
I don’t think Mike T. is gonna budge though, and Darrelle will end up reporting and taking less than what he wants, which is still a hell of a whole lot of money.
But if he’s still not here after August 10th, I might change my mind.
and the home of the... JETS!!!

I've tried to email Revis, but it just shuts down my computer.
Seriously. If your Revis how can you play this season under that contract (which makes you the lowest paid DB on the team)??
If he gets Leon’ed, he’s done. The team publicly and continuously touts you as the greatest defender in the game, maybe ever. And the GM (like a freakin idiot!!!) promises to revisit your contract.
If you’re Revis you have to cash that lotto ticket. You don’t know when the next one is going to come around. If it comes around at all in this violent sport.
FYI
$15 off on take-out at Famous Dave’s BBQ if your name is Dave. ; )
Sigh
Knew it would happen, can’t blame Revis that much, he wants to be assured he’ll get paid if he gets hurt.
Going for #28
no way they commit 15 mil per season twds the cap to him
ryan should release some comments about how rookie CB wilson will be the best in the league in a year or 2 under his system
Ease up on Rex
Rex said everthing fine,yeah hes bragging up his best player (with 2 years left) Just like a father would his child, Not for one bit do I blame Rex Ryan for this travesty, I for one blame one person, Al Davis. Thank the Raiders for driving up the cost of Revis.10 mill max for a CB,and thats a good one.
I would love to see a 3yr 30 mill, If you want 15 per he better start throwing TD’s as well

I blame Mike T.
Why the hell would you promise to revisit a contract for a player with 3 yrs left?? WTF was he thinking???
I gotta respectfully disagree buddy. I blame Darrelle Revis for listening to his agent too much. Revis has to remember that Schwartz works for him and not the other way around. At the end of the day I hope that Revis pulls an A-Rod and tells his agent stfu and gets his deal done on his own.
Why wouldn’t he want to get paid the most that he can? This is business. GM said he’ll renegotiate. GM said your the best in the biz. Well now its time to put your money where your mouth is.
Revis certainly outplayed his contract and definitely deserves more than the $1 million he’s supposed to get paid this year. But he’s also gotta use some common sense in that $16 million a year for a cornerback is ridiculous and the only way he’s going to get that is by going to a bottom feeder type of team. Part of me believes that he’s not trusting himself to make the right decisions so he’s going to his agent and his uncle. Don’t forget his uncle decided to sit out an entire year over dollars and cents (see Sean Gilbert). C’mon Revis, get the deal done while you’re in camp. It lets you get the benefit of the doubt with the fans, letting us know that you’re putting faith in yourself and the Jets to get a deal done.
