Can't blame the guy for squeezing every dime out of his NFL career. It's a business and a very short window to make money. With that said, he's one of the best Jets, in terms of talent, to ever put on a uniform and deserves to be cheered. It also happens he's a good businessman too. Can't argue with you at all. Players have short careers and there is nothing wrong with trying to maximize your earnings. But that mercenary attitude comes with a cost -- and in Revis' case, he is not likely to be beloved by any fan base. Maybe after more time passes, fans will embrace him more, but it is hard to erase the memory of the aging vet who did not seem to give a shit during his last season as a Jet.
If I were going to the game, I would applaud him for his contributions on the field, primarily during his first tour of duty with the team. But the reception will not be the same as if it will be for a guy like Mangold |

Revis was a great player but many Jets fans will remember him as a guy that seemed to love the money more than the game and played like crap in his final stint here. Mangold is a guy that is loved by the fans because he seemed to just love the game. mangold will always get more love from Jets fans than Revis does. |

My thing isn't that he got paid, it's that he coasted once he did. No cheers for that.
