Darrelle Revis and the Jets agree to a 4-year $46 million contract extension. It was actually a 7-year deal that would void to 4 as long as Revis did not hold out. Here is how the finances worked out over the 4-years of the deal:
2010: $7.5 million base salary, no signing bonus
2011: $18 million option bonus (due on the first day of the first league year after 2010, accounting for the chance of a lockout), $7 million base salary
2012: $7.5 million base salary (guaranteed for injury)
2013: $6 million base salary (guaranteed for skill)
Revis held out of training camp for 36 days. A holdout that was well-chronicled on HBO’s Hard Knocks. The video clip below is from the hard Knocks episode where Darrelle returns to camp the day after ending the holdout,
As we all know, Revis would not finish the contract as a Jet. He would be traded to Tampa prior to the 2013 season in exchange for two draft picks which the Jets used to select Sheldon Richardson and Jalen Saunders. The Jets now have both Revis and Sheldon on their roster. And Jalen Saunders is now a free agent. Could they unite all 3?
