JETSfaninNE Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Interesting. Was waiting for some information to come out back during the summer on why this went down. FWIW I believe Revis did get screwed here, curious to know how he found out he got screwed. He reminds me of my brother, he can come out of the bar at 4 am with a pocket full of balled up, crinkled and crushed bills and know exactly how much money he has in his pocket lol. Bet you no dollar goes unnoticed by Revis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 It would be so worthwhile for these players to have a separate attorney to read every contract just prior to signing. I'm not Revis's biggest fan right now, and in the strictest sense he did sign a new contract with those terms outlined, but after that amount of time I'm sure it's quite common to just sign the last page. A veteran like Revis has more than enough cash to have anything he signs read over by a 3rd party lawyer/firm. They can't just trust people who are, like Revis, also receiving their own compensation as a result of this same deal; it's a conflict of interest and Revis stupidly trusted them. That said, these guys are real lowlifes. It's clear Revis never would have signed if he read the whole thing; no one as protective of every dollar he can get, like Revis, would ever give up 50% of an endorsement deal when the going rate is 10%.

Really is crazy, I guess a level of trust comes with doing business for so many years. You are right he probably hasn't read or had anyone else read the last few contracts since he probably never had any reason to not trust them up to that point. Really is a good life reminder to always double and triple check any contracts you sign no matter who else is involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
