How could I say anything about a message like that? Simple, I don't need to hear this from Revis. If he cared so much about the Jets, he would have figured out a way to make it work. This doesn't absolve the Jets from the bad trade they made and their refusal to try and lock Revis up, but Revis' focus is and was money.
There's nothing wrong with that either. He is putting his body at risk. He has a limited window to make as much money as possible. Just spare me from this.
