Darrelle Revis, cornerback
We will find out a lot about Darrelle Revis in the coming months, but here's what we know: Revis reportedly has hired an agent.
He set up his entire career so that, once it was over, money would not be an issue. So why do we think it's going to be an issue now?
Having covered Revis for a few seasons as a beat writer, I can say he is one of the more prideful people I've been around. I hardly believe he'll want to end his career as fodder for New York tabloids. If a legitimate opportunity were to present itself, I believe he'd work quite hard to re-write the end of his career.
Revis will not be paid like a top-tier corner anymore and the offset language in his deal will complicate matters once the Jets release him on March 9 -- as will his pending legal issues, which, the Jets say, were not the reason for his release. But a rededicated Revis would be an enticing proposition, even if he costs a little more than your standard replacement-level corner. Now that the pipe dream of going down as a Jets legend with the retirement tour is over, he can plan his next move accordingly.
This writer for NFL.com thinks a team would be wise to sign Revis as he will go very hard to end his career on a plus note. It's not a Ted like move but would you do it?
