Jets' Revis: I never said I wanted $20M per season

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Darrelle Revis still wants to get paid, and the Jets' star cornerback prefers to have something done sooner rather than later. But as for the chatter about reported demands of $20 million per season in the extension he's seeking, even Revis knows it's a pipe dream.

"That's false," he said Thursday. "I'm not looking for $20 million a year. I've never said that. I wish I could make $20 million, but that's not going to happen.''

The contract became a hot-button issue after Revis said the sides were negotiating an extension and didn't rule out the possibility of a holdout. He's due a $1-million base salary in 2010, and the Jets promised they'd have something done by the start of training camp.

Revis said the Jets sent a new proposal to his agents, Neil Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod, last week.

"If everything's right, the numbers are right, then I'll sign on the dotted line,'' he said. "If it's not and we have to negotiate more, then that's what we have to do."

Revis said he'd like to be the NFL's highest-paid cornerback, which means he wants to top the $15.1 million the Raiders' Nnamdi Asomugha gets per season.
