Jets’ Ryan offers plan to settle Revis holdout
CORTLAND, N.Y. — Jets coach Rex Ryan says he has a plan he believes will settle the holdout situation with All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis.
Ryan says Wednesday that he would cancel practice, get the entire team together and have everyone in the organization meet with Revis and his agents, and whoever else the star player would want there. He says he’s “absolutely serious.”
Ryan also says it is a “blatant joke” when asked to comment on Revis’ agents saying Tuesday it was “a blatant lie” that they “rebuffed” owner Woody Johnson’s request to attend a meeting between the sides last Friday.
Revis has missed 11 days, including Wednesday, since the team reported for training camp at SUNY Cortland. He wants to become the league’s highest-paid cornerback.
