It is four days into Jets training camp, and Darrelle Revis has yet to show up to camp.
Revis is seeking a contract of more than $16 million a year, with guaranteed money. Owner Woody Johnson promised to meet with Revis and his agent, but the two sides have not come close to an new contract for the cornerback.
Revis is owed $1 million for this season, clearly a low amount for a guy that Rex Ryan called the best player in the NFL back in February. He has three years left on the deal.
Revis is being fined $16,000 every day. The New York Post has reported throughout the situation that Revis feels "disrespected" by the Jets for not giving him an appropriate contract.
If Revis holds out all of camp and the season, the Jets could release him. The Jets better get this deal done soon --- it has become the biggest distraction of the year.
