FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Darrelle Revis isn't looking to become the $20 million cornerback.
But Revis is looking to get paid and the Jets have submitted a new offer to his agents. Revis said the Jets forwarded the offer last week.
“
I have talked to Coach [Rex] Ryan and [general manager Mike] Tannenbaum himself and they believe I should be the highest-paid player at my position. They understand that and I understand that. It is something that is going to get done. The Jets are family to me.'
”
-- Darrelle Revis
'They sent a proposal over so we are going to look at that and go from there,' Revis said on Thursday. 'If everything is right, if the numbers are right and everything is good, I will sign on the dotted line. If not, if we have to negotiate more, that is something we have to do.'
Revis, who is set to make $1 million in the fourth year of the six-year deal he signed as a rookie, said he won't be holding out for $20-million-a-year as reported by one website.
'I don't know where the $20 million came from,' Revis said. 'I never told you guys that. Don't know who brought that up but I'm sure it is not going to be up in that area. That's insane. That would be great. Who wouldn't want $20 million? But that is a high price.'"
