Packers kicked the tires on Darrelle Revis

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Maybe they were just calling for a price check, but the Green Bay Packers inquired about the services of free-agent cornerback Darrelle Revis before he signed with the New York Jets.

Revis landed a five-year, $70 million contract that included $39 million guaranteed after the New England Patriots refused to pay his $20 million option for the 2015 season. His new deal made him the second highest-paid cornerback in the NFL.

In an appearance on SNY's Loud Mouths, Revis rattled off the list of teams that expressed interest in his services.

"It was the Packers, Baltimore as well, Cleveland, the Chiefs and the Jets also," Revis said. "And then also the Pats, so it was a number of teams."

He also listed the Steelers.

At that point, the Packers had lost cornerback Davon House to the Jacksonville Jaguars and probably knew that Tramon Williams wasn't going to accept their two-year offer that averaged between $4 million and $5 million per year. Williams ended up signing a three-year, $21 million contract with the Cleveland Browns.

The Packers, as has typically been their modus operandi, have not signed any unrestricted free agents from other teams since the market opened on March 10.
