After winning the Super Bowl , Darrelle Revis is heading back to the New York Jets . Two years after his acrimonious departure to Tampa Bay , the shutdown corner again showed his mastery of free agency , signing a vast five-year , $ 70million deal . With $ 39m guaranteed , Revis will pocket $ 16m-a-season in the first three years , NFL insider Ian Raport reports . At 29 , the six-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro is among a number of new additions as the Jets look to break their four-year spell without a play-off place . Darrelle Revis defends Jeremy Kerley in the Patriot 's narrow 17-16 win over the Jets in December . Revis lasted a year with the Buccaneers after penning a six-year , $ 96m deal with no guaranteed money . The Patriots moved swiftly following his release last year , with the parties agreeing on a $ 32m two-year deal . Owner Robert Kraft declined to take up the $ 20m second-year option , opting to re-sign safety Devin McCourty on big money instead . The deal appears a questionable one for the Super Bowl-winning Patriots . Revis and the recently released Brandon Browner gave them a secondary that was the envy of the AFC . But they lose a locker room leader to an AFC East rival and Bill Belichick has to rebuild his secondary once more . With $ 50m cap space , it has already been a busy free agency for Gang Green and new head coach Todd Bowles . Alongside the marquee signing of Brandon Marshall , cornerback Buster Skrine joined from Cleveland , guard James Carpenter comes in from Seattle and linebacker David Harris was re-signed .
Revis rejoins the Jets , the franchise who exchanged picks with Carolina to move up and draft him 14th overall in two years ago . The shutdown corner left the Jets in bitter circumstances the 2007 , joining Tampa Bay . Revis won the Super Bowl in his only year with New England but heads back to Gang Green on big money .
