Darrelle Revis: Video Alleges the NFL Star Involvement in Fight
TMZ obtained video of Revis allegedly mocking two men who appear to be unconscious
New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis turned himself in after an alleged fight that resulted in two men finding themselves on the sidewalk.
Both parties are insisting they’re the victim in the incident, which allegedly occurred after the two men followed Revis in his hometown of Pittsburgh while taking video.
While the supposed video filmed by the two men has not been released or even proven to exist, an eyewitness video was released by TMZ.
This video supposedly shows the two men unconscious after an alleged fight, and the voice allegedly of Revis mocking them.
Revis has been charged with four felonies, including robbery, aggravated assault, and making terroristic threats. He was released from jail on a non-monetary bond as he awaits a potential trial.
The 31-year-old cornerback is claiming he’s the victim of fans stalking and harassing him prior to the alleged incident.
Revis endured the worst year of his NFL career last season after returning to the Jets. Many pondered if Revis would retire or even switch positions this offseason. It’s clear now that Revis has much more to consider.
New York could potentially release Revis and have the final three years of his contract voided. He’s due over $15 million this season and would cost the Jets $6 million to release him. According to NJ.com the Jets could have the guaranteed money in Revis’ contract voided by citing the league’s personal conduct policy and conduct clauses in his contract. A $2 million roster bonus is owed to Revis on March 11th.
Revis has played in the National Football League for 10 seasons with the Jets, Buccaneers, and Patriots. During his short-lived tenure in New England Revis won his first and only Super Bowl.
