So, let's see. Since being traded by the New York Jets, Darrelle Revis has pocketed $29 million and will play in Super Bowl XLIX this Sunday in Glendale, Arizona.

The Jets? They're 12-20 without Revis, rebuilding with a new regime. The man who pulled the trigger on the trade, John Idzik, is out of work.

Revis wins.

After one year in Tampa Bay purgatory, the star cornerback moved his Island to New England and discovered football paradise -- a successful franchise willing to pay him a ton of money, if only for one year. It's "so surreal to me," he said Tuesday at media day, soaking up the moment.

As for his old team -- the Jets, not the Buccaneers -- he so doesn't care about their hard times.

At media day, Revis was asked if he feels sorry for the suffering Jets' fans.

"Do I feel sorry for the Jets' fans? Um, not really," he said, according to NJ Advance Media. "It's not really my call. I didn't make the call. Management made the call at that time and they felt it was best to get rid of me. That was the situation. That is how I look at it."

The Jets got rid of him because Revis showed no flexibility whatsoever in negotiations, demanding franchise-quarterback money. If he had been willing to bend a little, there might have been a chance to work out a long-term deal. But, no. Revis, always about the money, shot his way out of town. He dropped some hints last year about wanting to return, but that was more PR than anything else.

He got what he wanted -- a championship-caliber team and a big pay day, not necessarily in that order.
