CB Darrelle Revis: Whether Jets keep me depends on 'class'

Revis, speaking to the New York Post, said he wants to retire with the Jets and isn't approaching Sunday's finale as his last game with the team despite a heavy contract that appears to many as an overextended deal for a cornerback who is well past his prime.
Tight end Austin Hooper hasn't practiced in two weeks and might miss his second straight game with a knee injury.
''He definitely wasn't 100 percent (last week),'' Shanahan said. ''I think you could see that watching the tape. I think he knew that. But I think he's gotten better this week, too, and I think he will continue to get better each week. No one is feeling great this time of year, but I definitely think he's getting better as opposed to these past couple weeks.''cheap Jerseys
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) -- Receiver Julio Jones doubts he'll be at full capacity when the playoff-bound Atlanta Falcons end the regular season against New Orleans.
After missing the previous two games with a sore toe, Jones played just 39 of 63 snaps, catching four passes for 60 yards, in last week's win at Carolina.
"And we've been wholesale jerseys dating for a long time -- many years," Revis said. "She's been great to me and I appreciate it. I love my girlfriend."
Revis, who said he still loves the game and can still play, likened the Jets to his girlfriend and said his contract status was similar to dealing with a possible breakup.
Revis has played for the Jets, New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, amassing career earnings of $118 million, according to Spotrac. He's currently in the second year of a five-year, $70 million contract that includes $39 million in fully guaranteed money.
Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan said the key for Jones is to play, but not reinjure his toe when the Falcons (10-5) host the Saints (7-8) on Sunday.
But Jones, the NFL leader with an average of 101 yards receiving, expects to have enough stamina to be a factor.
The Falcons listed Jones, receiver Taylor Gabriel (toe), left guard Andy Levitre (hip), cornerback Robert Alford (toe) and safety Keanu Neal (ankle) as limited in practice on Thursday.
"Would I love to be here? Yes," Revis said in a locker-room interview with the Post. "Will I be back? That's a great question. My thing would be this: Do the New York Jets want to treat my situation with class or no class? With me being one of the best players in the history of this franchise, do they want me to retire here or not retire here?"Customized jerseys
"I've been one of the best cornerbacks to ever play this game," Revis said, according to the Post. "I've done a lot of things in this league that a lot of guys currently playing are chasing now. I've impacted the game in a way where it was like, 'Hey, he doesn't give up any catches to the No. 1 [receiver].' I set a precedent."
