08/12/2010 - Cortland, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Jets and holdout cornerback Darrelle Revis will keep the remainder of their contract negotiations confidential.
Revis, who has three years remaining on his rookie contract, wants to be the highest-paid player at his position and both sides appear to be at an impasse.
The New York Daily News has reported that the Jets have offered Revis a 10- year deal worth $120 million, but have not included the specific amount of guaranteed money.
Revis wants to surpass the contract signed last year by Oakland's Nnamdi Asomugha, who is set to average $16.5 million over the next two years.
After the first episode of "Hard Knocks," which provides an inside look at the Jets' training camp, aired on HBO Wednesday night, both parties said Thursday the talks will stay private.
"Both parties have had conversations to clear the air and will continue to negotiate with the hopes of reaching an agreement," a joint statement from the Jets and Revis' agents read Thursday. "From this point forward, all discussions regarding these negotiations will remain confidential."
Revis' agents have been quoted in the New York papers as saying they have given the team contract proposals that would make the All-Pro a Jet for life.
The Jets, in the "Hard Knocks" episode, painted a dark picture of the contract talks.
General manager Mike Tannenbaum was quoted as saying Revis' agents "haven't said one thing that I agree with. We're so freakin' far apart that I feel like a failure right now."
Jets head coach Rex Ryan has been saying during his media briefings at training camp that the team is preparing as if Revis won't be with the team. He also was quoted on the "Hard Knocks" program as saying the team "will not be bullied by anybody."
Revis is reportedly due to make just $1 million this year as part of the deal that he held out for as a rookie. However, had he not held out and reported to training camp, a $20 million guarantee over the final two years would have kicked in.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
