Thing with the Revis holdout is...he said he was going to do this. This isn't some surprise holdout, he said he wanted to renegotiate after two years when he signed the contract and now he wants to do that. He held up his bargain and is still a top 5 CB in the league and now he wants to get paid again.

The Jets would have known this from before the contract was signed as I am sure they had that discussion during the last negotiation and there was probably some gentleman's agreement that they would renegotiate if he was still a top 5 CB.

Honestly the majority of NFL players have 5-7 years to make their money and their contracts are not guaranteed. If they can be cut at anytime, then hell they should be able to hold out and demand more money if they feel they deserve it.
