The back-and-forth between Darrelle Revis and the New England Patriots seems to be unending.
Back in June, the Patriots told Revis, who signed a five-year, $70 million deal with the New York Jets, that his mother couldn’t attend the team’s ring ceremony at owner Robert Kraft’s house in his stead. The cornerback, who was absent because he had promised his kids a trip to Disney World, told Sports Illustrated recently that his mother’s exclusion didn’t sit well with him.
“If that’s how they want to do things, that’s fine,” Revis said, per ESPN.com. “I’m not going to waste my time on it.”
Poor Revis.....Man the fuck up and show up for YOUR ring. Don't send your mommy cause your a ckn shit who did not want to face the team......Good luck covering Edelman this yr...
3. If the Jets have an obvious weakness through two games, it's a secondary that is vulnerable to big plays. Noticeably missing his recovery speed, Darrelle Revis was the victim on Marquise Goodwin's 84-yard touchdown bomb. Even if Revis attributes that gaffe to peeking in the backfield early in the play, his obvious lost step is a concern after A.J. Green dog-walked him around the field last week.
It's a little early to be singing a funeral dirge for Revis but he did look a bit slower than usual and vulnerable to the deep pass in the first two games. Even if he regains his all-pro status this year, BB was never going to lay out the kind of money Revis wanted anyway. If he is indeed on the downside of his career, that decision looks even better.
