Following from Rich Cimini of ESPN.com
Two years after an ugly divorce, the New York Jets and Darrelle Revis are together again with what a source said Tuesday is a five-year, $70 million deal that will make him the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history.
Revis was traded by the Jets to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2013 and played for the New England Patriots last season where he was able to capture that elusive Super Bowl Championship with the Patriots.
