    Though Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis and coach Rex Ryan got together Wednesday in an effort to get on the same page regarding the player's recent in-practice protest as to his contractual situation, the fundamental problem remains.

    Ryan has declared that Revis is the best defensive player in the game, and Revis wants to be paid accordingly.

    Bob Glauber of Newsday reports that the Jets are willing to add six years to Revis' existing deal, which pays out more than $21 million over the next three seasons. The end result could average $12 million per year and the total value would "approach $100 million or more."

    In turn, Revis reportedly wants a randomly specific average of $16.2 million, considerably more than the $15.1 million annual average paid to Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.

    Though we don't like the manner in which Revis has been handling the situation of late, the Jets remain solely responsible for creating this monster. By heaping public and private superlatives on Revis, who has only three NFL seasons under his belt, and then approaching him regarding the possibility of tearing up the last three years of the deal, what did they expect him to request? Less than what the highest-paid defensive player in the game gets?

    Finally, here's something to tuck away for future reference. If the Jets struggle this year, look for Ryan to commence the process of trying to get G.M. Mike Tannenbaum run out of town, by blaming Tannenbaum's handling of the "Core Four" for screwing up the chemistry in the locker room.

    Two years ago, someone had to take the fall when the Jets imploded down the stretch. That time, it was coach Eric Mangini. This time around, if someone has to take the fall it won't be the head coach.

    If that offer is accurate, and he doe not take it, ship his ass to Oakland straight up for Aso.

    (or anywhere else out of the Conference)

    Best CB in the game, 3 years, 21 mil...

    I like how the writer (I assume it's Florio) randomly throws out the idea that Rex will run Tanny out of town if the Jets struggle this year. What a dick.

    Unreal... ummm Mike you do realize that Mangini got fired because he sucked, not because somebody had to take the fall.

    Making the playoffs your 1st year and failing to get back the next two including a 4-12 season or whatever it was is not progress.

    Yeah...not gonna happen. Tanny built this team from pieces of ash. No way Tanny gets run out of town. If it happens, Jets fan base is gonna take a huge hit. Tanny has done wonders since he's been in New York and frankly, if I had to the choice to pick any GM in the league to be the Jets GM, it wouldn't take me more than a second to name Tanny.

    Tannenbaum must have fucked Florio's wife at some point, because he has been trying to bash him for years now on his site.

    Really dude? Thats only $4 a person. I don't think thats enough to live by even for one day. Ghana's population is around 25 million.

    Reports are, Tannenbaum still is and has reached a long term deal with her at a staggering $1mil deal over 15 years averaging around $185 a day.

    Seriously. It seems like every post that I read on that site ends "the Jets made Edwards/Mangini/Favre/whoever a scapegoat, but Tannenbaum's next!!!!!!"

    Don't worry, Tanny will find a way to sign himself back. He's a wizard with the books!

    Why would Mike T get run out? For drafting Revis, Harris, Mangold, Brick, etc... Waiting to see on Sanchez, Greene, and pulling off master trades.

    Florio is just being dumb.

    I sure hope they come up with a really generous CAP in the next CBA or we're gonna be fucked without a reacharound. It had better be pretty damn close to between 175-200million. But then, they would have to resort to "virtual crowds" as real people won't be able to go to games anymore.

    9 years 100 mill is a great deal for both sides. I'm guessing that once the jets step the guaranteed money up, revis will sign
