I'm getting ready to visit with Craig Carton of WFAN in New York at 7:45 a.m. ET to talk about the situation involving the Jets and cornerback Darrelle Revis.
Coincidentally, we've picked up some new information about the situation.
Last month, when Revis faked an injury and/or a headache at a mandatory minicamp as a Brandon Marshall-style protest to the Jets' failure to give him a long-term deal, the man routinely described by his head coach as the best defensive player in the game damaged his relationship with the head coach who routinely describes Revis as the best defensive player in the game.
Rex Ryan, we're told, was unhappy with the antics from Revis, which provided an unwelcome distraction for a team with Super Bowl-or-bust expectations.
Thus, Ryan's attitude has changed regarding the importance of getting Revis a new contract -- which could make the Jets generally less willing to cave if Revis decides not to show up for camp.
