Sunday could mark the last time Rex Ryan faces the New England Patriots as head coach of the New York Jets.
Cornerback Darrelle Revis wasn’t interested in talking much about his time with the Jets Wednesday during a conference call with the New York media, but he did show some compassion toward his former head coach.
“They have a lot on their plate over there in that situation this year,” Revis said. “It’s kind of sad for the position that Rex is in right now, but at the same time (their 3-11 record is) something that they’ve got to change.”
There is speculation that Ryan could be fired after the season, with the Jets serving as AFC East bottom-dwellers again. The Jets possibly could have competed this season if they had signed Revis after the All-Pro was cut by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the offseason. Revis wasn’t interested in talking about that possibility, however.
“I’m over here,” Revis said. “That ship has sailed. I missed that boat. I caught the New England Patriots boat.”
Revis also had no comment when asked if he wants to remain with the Patriots in the future. Revis can’t be franchised by the Patriots next offseason, since they hold a $20 million option for the 2015 season.
“I don’t know what my future holds,” Revis said. “Right now, it’s just focusing on this week.”
