The Jets will be paying a $100,000 fine as a result of owner Woody Johnson’s tampering comments about wanting to have cornerback Darrelle Revis back with the team.
It’s money well spent, with Revis happy to be back with the team that drafted him. In what can only be deemed as scary comments — Revis admitted that he’s a better player this time around.
You know what? I think I’m better than I was before, when I played earlier in my career,” Revis said, via NJ.com. “I think I’m more way more intelligent in the position. I had a great learning experience last year with Bill. He helped me in a lot of ways. I’ve seen the game a different way. But at the same time I think just the growth, of me growing as a player, and growing as a man has helped me tremendously. Now I’m a different type of player — a better player — than I was when I was younger.”
The Jets are just happy to have a competent cornerback on the roster.
