Darrelle Revis
Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis, who has made a reported $101 million in his NFL career, fired his longtime agents, Neil Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod, who have been with the player since his rookie season in 2007. Schwartz confirmed the move (first reported by ESPN) to The Associated Press without explanation.
Revis, known as something of an NFL mercenary, is in the second year of a five-year, $70 million contract that guarantees him $17 million this season.
Schwartz and Feinsod over the past nine seasons have made Revis one of the wealthiest players in the NFL. According to sportrac.com, Revis is one of only three non-quarterbacks in the top 15 in NFL player earnings among active players.
Patriots fans know Revis’ money-first mindset. In 2014 Revis signed a two-year $32 million contract with New England that essentially was a one-year $12 million deal that allowed Revis to cash in and also win a Super Bowl ring before bolting for the Jets the following season.
