Report: Darrelle Revis agrees to one-year deal with Patriots


Ex-Buccaneers cornerback Darrelle Revis has come to terms on a one-year, $12 million contract with the Patriots, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Wednesday night.
Revis was slated to make $16 million with the Buccaneers in 2014, so it appears he may have taken a pay cut. However, he can hit the market again next offseason.
Revis, who turns 29 in July, is widely regarded as one of the NFL’s top cover corners — a player capable of covering top receivers all over the field. He has intercepted 21 passes in seven NFL seasons.
For the Patriots, this is the ultimate counterpunch after the Broncos signed away cornerback Aqib Talib on the first day of free agency. It also prevents a Jets-Revis reunion.
And does it ever set up a showdown in Foxborough between Denver and New England in the 2014 regular season.
