| Jets CB Darrelle Revis Wants To Be NFL's Highest Paid Corner | | |
Darrelle Revis is refuting rumors that he's looking for $20 million annually, but he does want to be the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL. The Jets have submitted offers for a new contract to the defender's agents. "I don't know where the $20 million came from," Revis said. "I never told you guys that. Don't know who brought that up but I'm sure it is not going to be up in that area. That's insane. That would be great. Who wouldn't want $20 million? But that is a high price." Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha is currently the league's highest-paid defensive back at $15.2 million a year. "I think that is fair," Revis said. "This is nothing behind closed doors [like] I am fighting against the Jets and they are fighting against me. I have talked to Coach [Rex] Ryan and [general manager Mike] Tannenbaum himself and they believe I should be the highest-paid player at my position. They understand that and I understand that. It is something that is going to get done. The Jets are family to me."
