rick34125 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Jets reach six-year deal with first-round pick Revis NFL.com The New York Jets and cornerback Darrelle Revis have agreed to a six-year contract worth $36 million, reports NFL Network's Adam Schefter. Revis, the 14th overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, will report to Jets training camp on Thursday. The Jets expect Revis to compete for the starting job at right cornerback, a position Justin Miller, David Barrett, Hank Poteat and Drew Coleman all took turns at last season. He could also serve as the team's punt returner. Revis was considered one of the best overall cornerbacks in the draft, and had an outstanding college career at the University of Pittsburgh, finishing with 129 tackles and eight interceptions. With Revis signed, the only first-round holdout would be top overall pick JaMarcus Russell, the LSU quarterback selected by Oakland. can't wait to see the details of this contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangreenman Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 We got him for 6 yrs...Apparently Tanny had offered revis more upfront money awhile ago but Revis refused because he wanted 5 yrs instead. Well, its about time, congrats Mr. T and Mr. Schwartz...NOW LETS GO JETS!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Walker Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I bet the 6th year is stupid money, maybe $9 mill I think the cap is due to go up that year, which is why the Revis camp wanted a huge 6th year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gainzo Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Ben Graham, not Mike Nugent, putting balls through those infamous narrow uprights. Graham was left-footing drop punts straight down the middle and over the crossbar from 40 yards for what would be goals in Australian Rules but would merely be touchbacks in the NFL. If anyone knows what a drop punt is I will give you rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebabyny Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I bet the 6th year is stupid money, maybe $9 mill I think the cap is due to go up that year, which is why the Revis camp wanted a huge 6th year. so Carriker, the pick right before him gets 14.5 for 5 years, revis is getting 36 for 6 years, and Timmons at 15 signs for 15 million. Lets say if revis is slotted he gets 15 million for 5, that extra year is 21 million. The current franchise tag for a cb i heard is 9 million. What am i missing here, why wouldn't the jets do the 5 years and then franchise him? Obviously the franchise tag goes up substantially in 5 years, but does it go from 9 million to 21 million? I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVM Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Nope. It's a style of kick used in Aussie Rules Football. Isn't it something like they drop it and kick it so it goes end over end, and it allows the punt to be more pin-point, something like that?
