This can’t possibly be the closing of a chapter the New York Jets and their followers were hoping to see. It’s seemed inevitable for months, and the franchise was stuck in place until it happened.<\/p>\n
But of all the eras that had to end, how does the end of the Darrelle Revis<\/strong> era help them? To spare everybody the drama of searching for an answer to that: It doesn’t. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced the deal Sunday, saying Revis<\/strong> agreed to a six-year contract. Revis<\/strong> agents Neil Schwartz <\/strong>and Jon Feinsod <\/strong>confirmed the deal is worth $96 million, with no guaranteed money, but makes him one of the NFL’s highest-paid defensive players. It includes $1.5 million annually in both roster and workout bonuses.<\/p>\n The Jets also receive a conditional fourth-round pick in next year’s draft that will become a third-rounder if Revis is<\/strong> on the Buccaneers’ roster on the third day of the 2014 league year. And the Jets will see Revis<\/strong> in Week 1 of the 2013 season on the opposing sideline when the Buccaneers come to East Rutherford, N.J.<\/p>\n Mike Tannenbaum<\/strong>, the general manager who drafted Revis<\/strong>, is long gone. The honeymoon from the back-to-back trips to the AFC title game is beyond long gone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This can’t possibly be the closing of a chapter the New York Jets and their followers were hoping to see.
