Darelle Revis wants $20 million a year

All-galaxy cornerback Darrelle Revis reportedly wants $20 million.

No, I don't mean $20 million over the length of a multiyear contract, or in guarantees.

That's the figure National Football Post columnist Michael Lombardi reported Revis has requested to remain with the New York Jets. To be specific, Lombardi wrote Revis' desired contract "exceeds $20 million a year."

Shortly after ESPNNewYork.com's Rich Cimini read this, he popped the eyeballs back into his head and noted in his blog that Revis' dream deal would be not only the richest contract for any cornerback, but also more than a franchise quarterback.

Peyton Manning's annual average is $14 million.

He'll probably get it too. I can't wait to see these teams struggle when the cap returns.

No way he will ever get that. He is under contract until 2012 and even then the franchise tag for wide receivers is around 10 million. He could be tagged for five years and still not make more than 20 million a season. He may be a great corner but he is no where close to the most important guy on the defense let alone the team. He will be 27 when his current contract ends and will likely get one big payday. If they decide to say he outplayed his rookie deal, they will lock him for five more years meaning he will be a Jet until 2017. By then he will be over 30 and rich but not as rich as he thinks he should be. Hard to feel sorry for him.

damn. you stole my word. absurd was my first thought when i read the title of this thread. he's more of an idiot than peppers.

Idk about that one, peppers left us for more money and went to a team worst off than us, while Revis plays for arguably the best defensive team in the league and could possibly win a ring this year. I doubt peppers will ever have a ring, the $$ is more important to him as a person and a player...

I agree that he's not worth even CLOSE to that much $$, but...

he definitely IS the most important player on that defense. he's the best defensive player in the league.

No he isn't. He had 54 tackles and 6 pics. Sure good numbers but the best he does it take away one player from the offense. Without a killer pass rush he would be good not great.

Revis's contract voids after this year since he reached certain percentage of plays. The Jets have the option to buy the last 2 years back (5M for 11, but 15M for 12) but going long term would be in better interests in case of a return of the cap.

poo like this is one of the reasons JR is trying to influence a new CBA using his current Panthers payroll as an example. I hope it works. No player is worth that now or 5 years from now considering what these guys were getting paid 5 years ago. That is a stupid figure.

Plus, once the refs cracked down on him in the playoffs, he was not as effective.

      [Joe Person] Jonathon Brooks had a successful 2nd ACL surgery - Expected to miss all of 2025 Season

      By TD alt · Posted

      He doesn't need to play in 2025. And maybe not 2026 either from what I've read. This is but one peer-reviewed selection:    "A devastating complication of returning to sport following ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is a second ACL injury. Strong evidence now indicates that younger, more active athletes are at particularly high risk for a second ACL injury and this risk is greatest within the first two years following ACLR." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5226931/     Regarding your first question... "The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision that affects patient outcomes significantly. Even though there is no consensus in the literature, there are some trends regarding timing of ACLR. Various authors suggest that ACLR be performed at least 3 weeks after injury in order to avoid arthrofibrosis. More important than time alone, objective criteria including perioperative swelling, edema, hyperthermia, and ROM are important indicators of when surgery should be performed." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4004131/#:~:text=The optimal timing of ACLR is an important clinical decision,in order to avoid arthrofibrosis.

      Not sure I would be so sure they feel worse than us - their QB was better than Bryce at in the first season, they got DJ Moore, and 2 more high caliber draft picks.  We had to give up basically our entire defense this season indirectly to make that happen and we still have no true #1 WR.  Not saying I would rather have Caleb over Bryce at this point - but I would rather have their team situation and draft picks hands down.

      A lot of people think this draft is weak at QB--I think, after the first five picks of the first round, there are a ton of developmental QBs who could develop into the role--here is the psychology behind it--Bryce becomes the mentor--you can learn as much by teaching others than by being taught.   It also makes him a true leader.  But I think there are a few QB in this draft that might not be ready now, but in 2 years, could be NFL starting QBs--Howard, Rourke, Ewers, Milroe, Dart, etc.  Talk about a cheaper backup and one that could evolve into trade capital--or if Bryce can't find consistency-his replacement.  Round 3 will have some of these qbs--maybe early day 3.
