Revis ready for return with Chiefs
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Darrelle Revis doesn’t know what to expect when the Chiefs visit the Jets on Sunday.
“You know what? I really have no idea what to expect,” Revis said after a morning walk-through in the Kansas City practice facility Thursday. “I haven’t played the majority of this football season.”
Any of it, really.
The 32-year-old Revis was released in March two years after the Jets signed him to the richest contract in franchise history.
Part of it had to do with what they viewed as a decline in his skill, and part of it had to do with injuries that may or may not have contributed to it.
Regardless, he kept working out through the summer and while every other team reported to training camp, envisioning a time when he felt as if he’d be ready to contribute to a contender.
That point came last week, when he signed a unique contract with the Chiefs.
Revis will only earn $352,941 for the remainder of this season as part of the two-year deal, and he has a $1.015 million base salary next season.
