http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2013/06/darrelle_revis_pays_new_teammate_50k_for_no_24.html Pretty funny stuff. I know that's like pocket change to Revis, but I guess he wants that number badly, despite there being a #24 in pretty much every secondary in the league. Barron's still on a rookie contract, so he's probably loving that bonus. I wonder how his knee is doing. I haven't heard much about him lately.
Revis has too much tied to that number to not have it. Endorsements, sneakers etc etc... Barron is up and coming but there is no history with him and that number like there is revis... If it was champ baily then it would be a different story.
Of the 3600 Bucs fans that actually show up for the games on sundays, there are probably 11 or 12 that are pissed over this. The rest of them just wear Walmart Derrick Brooks or Mike Alstott jerseys. I expect to see about 20-30 Mevis jerseys in the next 18 months while he is playing here...since all the games are blacked out locally, I don't anticipate seeing him play again.
