The New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis was reported last week to have plan of sitting out the team’s training camp if the Jets do not reach a decision on his contract extension. However, if he really insists on doing that, he is going to lose about $20 million on bonus money, which was scheduled to be paid in 2011 and 2012 if he stays with the team all the time.
The Jets training camp is planned to open on Aug. 10, and Revis has been making effort to receive a new contract extending his current rookie contract. Other reports pointed out that Revis will have the right to ask for a considerable contract extension after the fourth season of his current deal. By then, the Jets will have to buy back the final two years at base salaries of $5 million in 2011 and $15 million in 2012.
Being drafted by the Jets in 2007 as a first-round pick, Revis is just entering his fourth career season, and he may have to end his vacation early to prepare for the upcoming season. I guess he will finally take off his favorite Brett Favre jersey and report for the training camp on August, 10. After all, who would like to turn down $20 million?

Jets released veteran TE Franks
The New York Jets have announced releasing veteran tight end Bubba Franks on Monday. Now Fransk may get the chance to wear steelers jersey.
The jets signed Franks last season and he caught six passes for 47 yards in eight games, including four starts last season. He missed eight games because of a hip injury, and was unable to participate in offseason practices and minicamp for a knee injury after re-signing with the Jets.
The move Monday leaves the Jets with Dustin Keller(notes), who had a promising rookie season, and undrafted free agents J’Nathan Bullock and Jack Simmons as the only tight ends on the roster. James Dearth(notes), who began his career as a tight end, works exclusively as the team’s long snapper.
During his nine NFL career seasons, Franks has had 262 receptions for 2,347 yards and 32 touchdowns, with eight of the nine spent with Green Bay Packers.
