There's different ways of look at the Revis signing. First did the Patriots ever seriously consider paying him the 20 mil for this season and take a 25 cap hit on this. Somebody with the Patriots spread a rumor that they were going to pay him the 20. This was around Feb. or so. At the same time Woody was taking heat from the press and fans for not signing him for 2014 and some were killing him for trading him in the first place. So NEP knew that there was pressure on the Jets to sign him. And just maybe they wanted the Jets to overpay him (which they did). So instead of NEP being mad about Revis going to the Jets maybe they were happy about it. Because basically the Jets got a bad deal.
