Darrelle Revis
Adam Schefter said on ESPN Radio Monday that it would surprise him if the Patriots picked up CB Darrelle Revis‘ $25 million cap charge for 2015.
However, Schefter added that Revis returning to New England is not out of the question.
“This is all comes down to what Darrelle Revis wants to do. He’s got a Super Bowl ring. His career has been validated. He’s got one more big score left; big score in terms of big contracts. So does he want to go take that big contract with a team like the New York Jets, who are dying to make a run at Darrelle Revis? Or the Buffalo Bills? Or is he willing to take less to go back to play with Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and be in the environment he’s been in in New England? That’s a call that only he can make,” Schefter said.
“At this point in his career, he has made a ton of money. A ton of money — all together with marketing, contracts, he’s probably made $100 million. So what do you want to do in your very last big deal? That’s the decision that Darrelle Revis has to make.”
