Revis, Jets agree contract

According to multiple sources, Darrelle Revis has ended his holdout from the New york Jets, pouring a small but effective bucket of cold water on speculation that he would hold out the entire season.

No terms of the deal are available as yet, but Revis was thought to be looking for a deal to eclipse Nnamdi Asomugha's $45m 3 year deal, which he signed in 2009. Expect to see Revis nudging the $16m mark, but there's every possibility that Revis won't get what he was asking for, as despite every insistence otherwise, he is generally not seen as the type of character who would put money ahead of both his team and his legacy.

With the new season less than a week away, it's no surprise that both sides have found a way to get a deal done - the question is just how long will it take Revis to get back in the saddle?
