One of the surprise teams in the NFL last year, the New York Jets made it all the way to the NFL’s Final Four, losing to the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC title game.
With a new stadium in the Meadowlands, there will be pressure for the Jets to repeat the feat this year but trouble seems to be rearing its ugly head at the team’s OTA.
Pro Bowl DB Darrelle Revis took himself out of practice on Monday, reportedly to protest his current contract situation.
While Revis initially said he had hamstring and dizziness issues, ESPN says that it soon became apparent that that wasn’t the case.
“Sat out for a little bit just to let them know I can play or I can’t play,” Revis is quoted as saying in the ESPN report.
Although he still has three years left on his current deal, he is looking for more coin and, according to reports, the last offer the Jets made had no guaranteed money, which offended the cornerback.
As it stands, the Jets are the odds-on (along with the Pats) at +125 to take the AFC East, +600 to win the AFC Championship and +12oo to take the Super Bowl.
The Jets open up the regular season as part of a Monday Night Football double-header and host the Baltimore Ravens — New York is favored by a field goal and the Total is set at 37.5.
