As the staff of the New York Jets prepares to evaluate college players at the NFL combine, Rex Ryan and John Idzik took some time to talk to the media about Darrelle Revis.\u00a0 Revis<\/a> has been in the news lately and here is what Ryan and Idzik had to say:<\/p>\n

John Idzik<\/strong><\/p>\n

On whether he can clarify the team\u2019s position on Darrelle Revis\u2026<\/b>
\nDarrelle Revis is obviously a great football player. He\u2019s a great New York Jet. He\u2019s a tremendous asset to our football team and our organization. With respect to clarity, I don\u2019t know that anything has really changed because we\u2019ve always wanted Darrelle to be a part of our team. That has never changed. I think there have been rumors or stories published and it\u2019s really hard for me or anybody in our organization to speculate and answer to all rumors or stories that we hear. With respect to Darrelle, we\u2019ve always wanted him to be a part of the New York Jets. Our focus with Darrelle right now is to aid him in any way we can with his rehab so he returns to the player we all know he is. As such, he will be a tremendous asset to us.<\/p>\n

On if he will entertain trade offers for Revis \u2026<\/b>
\nSpecifically (talking about) Darrelle, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s something that\u2019s limited to one person. With me and my job and Rex (Ryan) and everybody involved, we will always field calls and always have internal discussions about how we can improve our team day-to-day, position-by-position. That\u2019s an ongoing process. That\u2019s not isolated to any one player or any one position. That\u2019s just something that we do on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, particularly at this time when you\u2019re going into free agency and the draft. There are a lot of what-if\u2019s if you will that we will be discussing internally.<\/p>\n

On if Revis is comfortable with his current situation\u2026<\/b>
\nI think you\u2019d have to ask Darrelle that. I can\u2019t speak for Darrelle. I can say from our perspective that we\u2019re very comfortable with Darrelle as a New York Jet. Our focus is going to be on getting him back. He has a pretty significant injury to rehabilitate. I think that\u2019s our focus right now is to get him back to the level he was playing at before so he can help us.<\/p>\n

On whether the team plans to speak with Revis\u2019 agents about an extension\u2026<\/b>
\nI don\u2019t want to get into speculation, but again I think you can understand it and respect it that we won\u2019t ever get into contractual discussions publicly. We won\u2019t get into speculations publicly but we will deal with the here and now. I think that\u2019s the most truthful way. Otherwise, it can be very misleading and we don\u2019t want to do that.<\/p>\n

On if the team\u2019s preference is for Revis to rehab in New Jersey\u2026<\/b>
\nWhatever is best for Darrelle and we\u2019ll talk that through with him. Again, if he feels comfortable rehabbing where he is (that is fine). What we want is a good end result just like Darrelle does. What\u2019s good for Darrelle is good for the New York Jets. Obviously, the more time we spend with Darrelle one-on-one is a good thing. I think as we get into the offseason program, it is all voluntary, but you would hope that most of your players want to be there and be in the building and get the juices flowing with our staff and everybody that we have. We have a fine medical staff. We have a great training staff. We have tremendous facilities so we feel that we have a lot to offer Darrelle and all of our players. We would hope that they would be there, but in the end of the day, it’s what\u2019s best for Darrelle – how can we get him to clear medically and get back to the field to where he was before as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

Rex Ryan<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the Darrelle Revis trade rumors\u2026<\/b>
\nIt\u2019s funny. The thing pops up, and I think it\u2019s interesting, as John talked about, the very first day he gets the job and this is what I was telling Darrelle. When I called Darrelle, (I said), \u2018Darrelle, let\u2019s face it, the man hasn\u2019t been on the job for 24 hours and now you\u2019re going to get traded?\u2019 I thought that was kind of interesting and I said, \u2018It\u2019s not accurate. Plain and simple it\u2019s not accurate.\u2019 I told him that. If he was going to be involved in a trade, I think he and his agents would know about it, as would the general manager and myself, I would think. So there was no validity to that trade. I don\u2019t know where things like that get drummed up from. Maybe somebody is a big fan of a certain team, and is playing fantasy football, and would like to have him on his team. I\u2019m not sure.<\/p>\n

On if he would be opposed to trading Revis\u2026<\/b>
\nI\u2019m going to coach whoever is here, but John and everybody would be involved in that. Certainly, to sit down and say absolutely not, we\u2019re not going to do it, I\u2019m not going to say this player or that player, but if we got Jim Brown in that trade, we would probably look into it (joking).<\/p>\n

On what he told Revis \u2026<\/b>
\nI provided him with the answer that I know to be true, which was that was not accurate.<\/p>\n

On what he learned about Revis\u2019 trade value by watching the defense play without him in 2012\u2026<\/b>
\n(It is) no shock to me. You guys see it every day. You guys know how good Darrelle Revis is. I think we all see it. I think the young corner from Seattle (Richard Sherman) sees it. He\u2019s compared himself to the best. He even sees it. Everybody sees it. Clearly, he\u2019s a tremendous player. You\u2019d like to sit back, and right after an injury like that occurs, you want to cry and all of that stuff on the podium. And you\u2019ll be like, \u2018Oh hey, we\u2019re going forward, it\u2019s business as usual.\u2019 It\u2019s not business as usual. It\u2019s hard to replace a guy like Darrelle Revis, and then Santonio Holmes on top of that. It\u2019s funny because everybody wants to say you\u2019re making excuses, never make excuses. Trust me, it was a big difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
