Darrelle Revis got his ring. Now he's got his money.
 
The star cornerback has agreed to terms to return to the New York Jets, his agents announced Tuesday.
 
Revis' deal with the Jets is a whopper. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports it's a five-year, $70 million deal with $39 million fully guaranteed, per a source involved. Jets owner Woody Johnson made it clear last year that he wanted Revis back with the team, and he got his wish. The move caps a busy week for general manager Mike Maccagnan, who traded for Brandon Marshall, while re-signing linebacker David Harris, and then agreed to deals with cornerback Buster Skrine and guard James Carpenter when free agency opened Tuesday.
 
It's a massive loss for a Patriots defense that finally put together a championship secondary. The team didn't pick up the option on Brandon Browner's contract Tuesday, but that was addition by subtraction. Revis, on the other hand, was a game changer. He proved that he's still one of the top cornerbacks in the league and allowed Bill Belichick to get far more creative with his pressure packages. There simply aren't many difference-making man coverage cornerbacks in the league, and Revis helps make everyone around him better.

It's not an "if" we lose Browner


From what I've heard, we knew Revis was gone on Monday

We're switching defensive philosophies, and Browner doesn't fit that. We cut him intentionally

This a very big loss for the Pats, you need corners in this league nowadays. Damn it now Revis is gonna get overhyped again cuz hes in New York.
