Darrelle Revis skips the start of training camp
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on August 1, 2010 10:39 AM ET
After months of maneuvering and speculation, Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis has decided to go through with his training camp holdout. 

Jenny Vrentas of the Newark Star-Ledger was first to report that Revis was a no-show for his morning physical and conditioning run on Sunday.  At this point, we would have been surprised if Revis showed for camp.

(The Jets say Revis isn't officially a holdout until 5:30 P.M.  All right, then.)

Recent reports indicated that the Jets and Revis are talking contract again, but Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reported no new formal offer has been made.  With the team's rookie class now under contract, the front office will focus on Revis.

We suspect this holdout could be a lengthy one, but it makes too much sense for the sides not to reach a contract agreement before the season starts.  Right?

No corner is worth the money he is asking.

I hope the jets feel that way exactly!

Cornerbacks in the NFL are very hit and miss. They have lifespans seemingly shorter than RBs in the league.

Remember how "bad ass" champ bailey was for 2 years? How about Sam Madison? There was even a stretch of games where Giants CB Corey Webster was a bad-ass...all of these guys lasted a very short time at being the game's best and then another guy would be heralded as the best or the most "shut down" corner in the league.

Revis needs to get his ass in camp, because by 2012, he'll be getting burned.

[Fau Teixeira]

you just explained exactly why he shouldn't just get to camp .. he's playing on a very small contract .. he needs to hold out to get a big paycheck

three years into a 6 year $36 million deal.  poor baby, how can he possibly afford to feed his family?

Yup, and they say by holding out he lost the 20 million guaranteed in the last 2 years of the contract.  I know interceptions don't make a quarterback, but this is who he picked off last year, Delhomme x2 (who didn't pick him off last year) Jamarcus, josh Freeman (tb qb), Ryan Fitzpatrick, and tom brady who was in his second game back from last years injury.

LMAO!!.. You're kidding right. The guy shutdown basically every top WR in the game. He put a hot blanket around Chad Ochocinco for 2 consecutive weeks. The guy is a STUD and deserves to be paid accordingly. He's doing the right thing. The jets promised Pete Kendall and Leon Washington their money and looked what happened. Washington got hurt and the jets promptly shipped him away.

The jets will come to their senses soon enough, because without Revis you can forget about any super bowl and the longer this goes they will lose the PR battle with the fans. Revis will get his money when all is said and done.

Ohh yeah Tepop I guess you missed when he picked off Carson Palmer and Phillip rivers in the playoffs as well.

considering the bengals weren't playing for anything, I don't think you can count the first week.  I wouldn't say he had a very tough schedule this year.  He played a load of shit quarterbacks. buffalo qbx2, Henne x2, tampa bay, jamarcus, jake delhomme, kerry collins, the backup for indy.  Yea, probably tough to shut them tough.

I think MEvi$, as he is now referred to, is the one losing the PR battle with the fans.

Revis had a good season and is trying to capitalize now before he gets exposed and decreases his performance.  He's under contract for three years.  The Jets have the upper hand, they don't have to do a thing.  His choices are:
- play out your contract and then get paid
- sit out the next three seasons

Let's see how "shut down" he is after being out of the league for 3 years.  Fine by me...

Didn't the Jets pick up a couple of cornerbacks in free agency?  I think the Jets are bracing themselves for the fact that Revis may hold out.  It's not hurting Revis right now, when he starts missing those regular season paydays, we'll see who caves first.

even if he sits out the next three seasons, the jets will still have his rights.

[Pappy13]

There's something else to consider if he holds out this year.  There's no guarantee that there even will be Football in 2011 when the labor agreement ends.  If you hold out this year or even a large portion of it, you could be out of work for a large part of next year too.
