Filed under: Jets, NFL Rumors, NFL Training Camp, NFL AnalysisWoody Johnson and the Jets are posturing, which is fine. With more than a month left before the season starts, it's still the time for that. So they posture, and Darrelle Revis postures, and all the while the team's best player is missing training camp, fans are panicking and HBO is licking its chops over the prospect of unprecedented "Hard Knocks" ratings. Nothing is lost, except the money the Jets can fine Revis every day he doesn't show up.
Johnson, Rex Ryan and the Jets spent the past couple of days making public proclamations about how ready they were to move on and play the 2010 season without Revis. This is a good tactic, since there's a chance it scares Revis back to the negotiating table and closer to a deal on the team's terms.
What it's not, however, is true. The Jets don't -- can't possibly -- believe they'll be all right if they have to play this season without Revis. His absence would be devastating, as he himself realizes. And it is for that reason that the Jets should swallow hard and pay him what he wants.
