Jets agree to new deal with CB Darrelle Revis; return to Revis Island

That massive sigh of relief you heard from the east coast this morning was the collective of Jets nation reading the news that their superstar, CB Darrelle Revis has ended his holdout and agreed to terms on a new contract with the New York Jets. The deal is reportedly worth $46-million over four years, including $32 million guaranteed.

Revis broke the news oh his Twitter account early Monday, saying, “I’m comin home baby!!! Revis Island LET’S GO.” He followed that up a bit later, writing, “It not has only been hard on u guys, but it has for me too,” “I just want to tell yall that I’m sorry for this process and I can’t wait to get back on the field.”

Revis – who is widely regarded as the best shutdown corner in the NFL – was scheduled to make only $1 million this year, but was looking for a contract on par with the Raiders Nnamdi Asomugha, currently the highest paid CB in the league. The high-profile holdout and negotiations with Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum were seen up close on HBO’s Hard Knocks, and had seemingly reached a stalemate after countless meetings at the now-famed Roscoe Diner without making any progress.

But the turning point apparently came over the weekend when Jets owner Woody Johnson and head coach Rex Ryan flew to South Florida to meet with Revis and his family.  They made a “significant breakthrough” at around 11pm Sunday night, and were able to quickly reach a deal thereafter, much to the relief of Tannenbaum:

“I think this is a great deal for Darrelle and I think it’s responsible for the club. From that standpoint, I think it’s a win-win,” Tannenbaum said. “I’m happy. I’m relieved. Obviously, Darrelle’s a great player. He’s our guy. He’s an important piece to what we’re trying to accomplish here.
