Former NFL lineman Randy Cross applauds the Jets for not yielding to Revis' contract demands.
"Even as a former pro player, I have a hard time working up much anger on behalf of Revis, He busted his salary slot when he was drafted. He got a huge amount of money up front, and he still has three years left on his deal. Life is often about timing, and sometimes your timing sucks.
"If he doesn't want to be a part of what the Jets have done, he should talk to players like Al Harris, who sat out the entire 1985 season with the Bears. He made more money the year after, but he doesn't have a Super Bowl ring."
If Revis sits out the season, former Jets quarterback Boomer Esiason still believes the team can win Super Bowl 45.
"Sure they can," Esiason said. "They lost Kris Jenkins last year, one of the best defensive linemen in football, and went all the way to the AFC championship game with a rookie quarterback. One thing we have learned: Rex Ryan will have a great defense, regardless of who is on the field.
"It's about scheme; it's about intensity. That's what they bring every week."
That said, the All-Pro cornerback probably won't miss the entire season.
