JetNation Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Shortly after the NY Jets announced that Darrelle Revis is being released, Revis tweeted a thank you to the organization. pic.twitter.com/6AXjr0PmVA — Darrelle Revis (@Revis24) March 1, 2017 Woody Johnson’s Statement on Darrelle Revis Darrelle Revis is one of the greatest players to ever wear a Jets uniform,” Jets owner Woody Johnson said in a statement Tuesday evening.“His combination of talent, preparation and instincts is rare and helped him become one of the most dominant players of his generation. I appreciate Darrelle’s contributions to this organization and, wherever his career takes him, his home will always be here with the Jets. Revis is an all time great. So many awesome memories. We wish it lasted longer but we're thankful to @Revis24 for so many great seasons. — JetNation.com (@JetNation) March 1, 2017 Click here to read the full story...

BigRy56 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The second he put on a Patriots uniform, it was never going to be the same again. I hope the Jets can find a conduct detrimental clause to get the dead money back from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southparkcpa Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I heard he held out before making a statement. FUKK him....it's all business, me too towards him. GREAT player...... he'll never be one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Top three Jet of my lifetime. We honestly had possibly the best player in the NFL a year or two. Broke my heart going to Pats and winning a Lombardi. Quit on us this year. So gonna hate on him for a bit. I will clap as a proud Jet fan when he is inducted first ballot hall of fame. But for right now? "This" minute? F-You Darrell, kind of a dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinstar Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Some of you miserable people welcome Jason taylor to my beloved Jets and speak about a great Jet like Revis as if he were garbage . At this moment, I hate the fact that I happen to like anything some of you say you like . Revis never took a penny from 1 Jet fan who didn't give it to Woody Johnson 1st . It was Woody's money and he has a kind word for a great N Y Jets . Why don't you follow his example . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuscanyTile2 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Revis was an all time great Jet and and an all-time great at his position. It was an honor to have him here. And I don't begrudge him for trying to maximize his $$ in the "not for long" league. However, I do feel some of what SouthParkCPA said: "it's all business, me too towards him". I would've been fine w/ everything if he didn't mail it in last year. That left a bit of a bad taste. But overall, I feel lucky he was a Jet. I'd happily take many more just like him.

Doesn't mean I need to like it or him. 1 all world season followed by an obnoxious and distracting holdout isn't exactly the same as Willis Reed hobbling on the floor for game 7.

jetscrazey Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 2009 and 2010 were some exhilarating seasons and Revis was the best non-QB player in the league then. The end was ugly but let's not forget the heydey, because it was pretty damn incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Lew Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Revis made me proud to be a jets fan which is a rare feeling for all of us. I hate that he prioritized money but at the same time I get it. Doing it all again I wish Tanny could have been more creative with his contract. As a few people have mentioned he was the best non qb player in 09 & 10. While it's hard to invest that much money in a non qb, Tanny needed to recognize that fact and address it as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Far sadder to see Mangold leave than Revis, but such is the life of a failure of a franchise. Wasted HOF'ers, the both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revis was never 1 of my heroes, just a football player on a team I rooted for . When he was at his best, I enjoyed watching him play and when he did what he did to better his family it didn't bother me one bit . I was just happy the Jets thought he was worth the money . By the way, when I said follow his example , I meant Woody's example . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnleyJet Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Great player, but he will always be tarnished for me. The whole hold out thing, the ring as a Pat. Then the dismal display last year, where he would not tackle, on 17 mill per. Total mercenary, I know it's a business but Revi$ is the standard for greedy selfish players. He's never going past Joe Willie, Klecko, or even Martin on my top Jets list, my be not even top 5. He's below Toon, and Wes Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section314 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 As much as I and many others here bash Woody, and probably will continue to do so, he handled this situation perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnie Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Greatest most consistent Jet of my lifetime (48 yrs) ... Curtis Martin was the picture of class and hard work ... Revis was just consistently good/great ... week in and week out. i won't remember him for the abomination that was last year.

JetFaninMI Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 He was a great player for this team and yeah he held out but they all do. What really pissed me off was signing with the Pats. Then he won his ring and mailed it in after that. At least they did it with class and respect. Something I hope becomes the standard of a team not exactly known for that.

rangerous Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 maybe revis will go back to his best buddy bellichicken. after all once logan and harmon sign with other teams they'll need a corner or safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 While I can understand some people having higher opinions of Revis than others, I have to admit I'm rather surprised by the level of praise given for the 2010 season. Do we all have the same memory of this? He was a disappointment for half the season, which was the direct result of him showing up completely out-of-shape after his holdout. Even if you're one that supports his holdouts, and that's certainly your prerogative, I can't imagine anyone thinking it's praiseworthy to be at complete fault for a bad start to the season and then a non-contact injury related to being in poor physical shape. Now don't get me wrong, he certainly stepped it up in the second half of that season, but that can't reasonably be considered an all-time great season under the circumstances. His 2009 season was most definitely a special one, but it stands alone in that regard in his career. That's not to say he didn't have other very good seasons, but nothing like that one. In the end, I do wish Revis luck in his future endeavors, but mostly so that another team is willing to pay him $6M+ this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
