Late last season, Jets owner Woody Johnson received some criticism for tampering allegations after he openly clamored for the return of Darrelle Revis.
Johnson is back at the recruitment, and According to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, Johnson “has been involved in serious internal discussions” with General Manager Mike Maccagnan to make a push for Revis in free agency.
The Daily News has learned that Johnson has been involved in serious internal discussions with Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan to make a push for perennial All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis if/when he becomes a free agent next week.
The Patriots aren’t expected to exercise Revis’ $20 million option bonus by March 9, setting the stage for a possible reunion between the Jets and the six-time Pro Bowler, who helped Bill Belichick and Tom Brady win the Super Bowl last month.
It’s hilarious to remember that Revis never had to end up in Tampa Bay or hoisting a Lombardi trophy with the hated Patriots. Former Jets GM John Idzik was stubborn in his refusal to pay Revis what he’s truly worth.
Woody Johnson has now come full circle.
