Look at Bradford this year...he is guarenteed 50 million freaking dollars and has yet to play a single snap in the NFL. That is ludicrous. And i would say that fact as well as the 18 game season are the two main issues that this lockout may occur over.
And I agree that Revis is worth more than 7 million a year...but what has he made thus far in signing bonus and salary? That too has to be counted in. Im not even suggesting he shouldnt be asking for more, only that if he wants it he has to know he is walking away from 20 million in order to get it. That is his decision and not the teams.

Not to mention he is being fined 16K a day for not showing up to camp, the longer it goes the uglier it gets. He is selfish and I was listening to ESPN this morning and it sounds like the announcers are on the same page as me, he has made 16Million so far and would have been gauranteed another 20 million.
Greed has taken over instead of winning in my opinion. The jets are overhyped this year but they are good and he is a key cog, sad that he's potentially willing to throw that away.
The announcers also mentioned that he is not in the same catagory as Asomugha yet. He has had one good year. Asomugha has played 8 years and has been consistanly good for a long time, he deserves the payout. This is the difference between the two.
If he thought he was so good when he came into the league why did he sign a 6 year deal, why not a 3 year deal? If he signed his 3 year deal he would be getting his wish now. However he signed the 6 year deal to maximize his money back then, now he's just being greedy.
