The Jets former superstar cornerback is facing charges for four felonies including robbery, assault, conspiracy and making terroristic threats.
While the case plays out in court, speculation has begun to mount regarding how Revis’ contract situation will play out with a clause that refers to any conduct detrimental to the team, as highlighted here by NFL insider Albert Breer.
