    That's not the whole story. Cunningham also illegally contacted Jared Page, which is what led to the punishment.

    "The Lions also were cited for impermissible contact with a player (or his agent) then under contract to the Chiefs. According to the Free Press, the player in question was safety Jarrad Page, whom the Chiefs traded last year to the New England Patriots."

    While money is his main motivation, I genuinely do believe he has a soft spot for the Jets. Best example I can give is like say if every team had offered him the SAME amount of money and everything, he'd come to the Jets.

    Exactly. Spare us the bullshit Darrelle, just do what you're getting paid to and all will be fine.

    People can believe what they want to but a player doesn't devote himself as successfully as Revis does to this game without having human emotions and goals in play that don't have to do with bank account numbers

    Some fans are so simple minded about football sometimes that they forget there are people wearing the uniforms they root for

    If he has a soft spot for the Jets, it's because he knows he has them by the short hairs and can get however much money he wants.

    Jets aren't the only team in the NFL.

    No. It was put in place as a protest against the blueblood "anyone with a visible pinup tattoo is too low class to be an NFL head coach" nonsense aristocratic-jerkoff attitude that was ubiquitous on this (and other) Jets fanbase forum immediately after photographs of the tattoo surfaced in the media. Rex may be gone, but the attitude amongst a significant portion of the fanbase still exists.

    Now I must admit your answer wasn't one I had expected. A Protest against fellow Jet fans by wearing the tattoo of a former Jets coach... Original I must say. :)

    Are you saying he likes the Jets more than he likes Rex Ryan?

    I think Jet fans want to believe he has a soft spot for the jets...but, being a realist....he goes where the money goes...all things equal he would've stayed in NE ...and if Jax offered the most money...he'd be there....don't try and romanticize his return ....he's back and that's all that matters...

    I think he'd have stayed in NE for the same amount of money. The Jets had the best offer and he came here as a result. I don't know that he'd have moved to another non-contending team if that offer had been marginally better than the Jets but I doubt he'd have left NE if the money was in the ball park.

    Belichik doesn't overload offers for post-prime players. he gets rid of them instead and he gets rid of them right after he's won Super Bowls as he did with both Ty Law and Rodney Harrison after 2004.

    who cares why he left? he came back here, he's an all time great and while he goes after every dollar he works as hard as possible and will give us great play and leadership.

    again, not that it matters but here is what his former teammate McCourty had to say:
