AP - The Jets and first-round draft pick Darrelle Revis were closing in on a deal Tuesday night that would end the touted cornerback's lengthy training camp holdout.

"We've made major, substantial progress," Revis' agent, Neil Schwartz, told The Associated Press. "We're working on it right now."


All I can say is about time. It had to take more then just a bunch of injuries to the secondary to make them realize how much we need this guy this year is the WR stacked AFC.

Come on Tannenbaum, make it happen.

But yeah, I agree, we needed this guy badly and we wasted time trying to be picky with the length of the contract.

I think he just signed.

They're setting up a press conference.

ESPN - A marathon Tuesday night session that included intense negotiations, and a little noshing, finally concluded in a Wednesday evening agreement between the New York Jets and first-round draft choice Darrelle Revis.

The University of Pittsburgh cornerback, who was the 14th player chosen overall in April, missed 21 days of training camp and 23 practice sessions. The Jets had hoped to have the deal completed in time for their Wednesday afternoon practice, but fell short of that goal.

Details of the contract were not immediately available.

Its official...

Its a 6 yr 36 mill deal. So it seems like Tennebaum got what he had wanted, but I think the incentives shall make the Revis camp happy.
