Revis Comments on Contract

Wednesday, Jan. 28

Phil Perry of CSNNE.com provided comments from Revis, who spoke about his contract situation and his experiences of playing during a contract year. As Perry notes, Revis' next deal will be his fifth contract over eight years in the league. Revis said:

"Just experience, growing as a professional athlete and not really focusing on off-the-field situations or my off-the-field situations. I feel like I've got a great team behind me, and they do a great job of where I need to be or where I want to go.

Yes, it's very risky to take that chance, but I believe in myself. I have faith in myself, in what I bring to the table, in how I prepare and just me overall as a person. This is what I love. This is what I do. If I don't believe in myself, who will?
