5 Years and $70M for the star Cornerback
It appears that Darrelle Revis will be ending his career in the same place it began, as the New York Jets have signed the free agent cornerback to a sizeable deal spanning 5 years. The Jets traded up in the 2007 draft to ensure that they landed Revis out of the Unniversity of Pittsburgh. It was in New York that Darrelle established 'Revis Island', as his dominating play with the Jets put him at the top of the cornerback heap until a torn ACL in 2012. He was then dealt to the Buccaneers leading into the 2013 season where he played out the last year of his contract before joining the Patriots. The veteran cornerback is fresh off of a Super Bowl winning season with New England in which he played all 16 games, logging 44 tackles, 16 pass deflections, 2 interceptions and 1 fumble recovery. He recorded an additional interception in the playoffs, and in the week leading up to the Super Bowl, many were debating who was the best cornerback in football: Darrelle Revis or Richard Sherman? There's no simple answer to that question, but we all know who came out of that final game of 2014 feeling the best.
