Darrelle Revis
Prediction: New England Patriots

Much like Murray, this is the non-sexy scenario for Revis. However, things are different for the All-Pro cornerback, simply because it won’t be a lack of market that keeps him in New England.

A former employer of Revis, the New York Jets, have reportedly jumped into the mix, but with Rex Ryan no longer involved and the Patriots coming off a Super Bowl win, the monetary difference would have to be jarring. The 29-year-old has already made gobs of money in the NFL, and with no signs of slowing down, he could leverage a short-term deal with the Patriots into “one last payday” after this contract concludes.

In the end, Revis and the Patriots are a perfect match, and when Bill Belichick wants something, he usually gets it.
