Jets General Manager Mike Tannenbaum didn’t divulge whether he believes holdout Darrelle Revis will re-join the team by the Monday season opener against the Ravens on Sept. 13. “Darrelle’s not here and we’ll plan accordingly,” Tannenbaum said on a conference call after the team trimmed their roster to 53 players. “We feel good about our depth at corner. We have six guys that we think that can help us. That’s what we’re going to be moving forward with. Organizationally, we have to move forward,” he added. “We’re playing Baltimore in a little over a week. That’s what we’re prepared to do… We feel good about the roster we have. Over course of 16 game season, there are a number of players who are going to be unavailable (with) injuries (or) a contract issue…. I don’t know if anyone’s ever whole. You look at Ed Reed and Calvin Pace, those are two really good players…. They’re down a great player. We’re down, obviously, two really good players as well.” Tannenbaum didn’t get into specifics of the negotiations, citing the confidentiality agreement with the Revis camp. “Rex wants to play man to man on the back end,” Tannenbaum said. “Depth at that position was a necessity. Obviously without Darrelle here, that necessity gets exacerbated.”
