The Jets, Patriots saga could be played out over a daytime soap opera.
Darrelle Revis is the star of the show.
Back in December, Jets owner Woody Johnson publicly addressed his interest in bringing back cornerback Darrelle Revis, who at the time was under contract with the Patriots.
The Patriots later filed tampering charges against the Jets.
On Monday, Patriots owner Robert Kraft spoke publicly about the departure of Revis for the Jets. The next day, the Jets filed tampering charges against the Patriots.
Per Pro Football Talk, the Jets have submitted to the league office a letter addressing those charges and the language used.
“I speak as a fan of the New England Patriots,” Kraft said Monday, via Tom Curran of CSN New England. “We wanted to keep him, we wanted him in our system. We have certain disciplines and we had hoped it would work out. It didn’t. We just don’t think about the short-term decisions. For example, next year we have three very good young defensive players coming up [for contracts] and we have to factor that we just don’t look at this year, we look out at the next few years. We’ve done okay doing that.
“[The Jets] are the team that drafted him. I think he feels a great commitment there, so we understand his going back and we’re sorry he didn’t stay with us.”
