Revis is in the 2nd year of a 5-year $70 million contract ($39 million guaranteed) and it is looking like a very smart business decision on his part.
He isn’t playing like a franchise player and he is being really blunt about why.
“Because I’m old,” Revis told the Daily News.
“You have bumps in the road,” he said. “Are you going to see a one catch for one yard game? Probably not. I was 23, 24 years old then,” he said, referring to holding Reggie Wayne of the Colts to one catch for one yard in the Jets 2010 wild-card victory.
“I think people look at the price tag and not the whole body of work on what I’ve done in this game,” Revis said. “It will be forever remembered. I’m not being cocky about it. The numbers are there. They show. I shut down some of the best of the best playing man-to-man coverage.”
They’re not looking at the whole body of work. When Peyton Manning throws three picks, you don’t talk his price.”
Peyton Manning is also retired.
If Revis doesn’t start playing better he will be too and it won’t be voluntarily.
