Darrelle Revis will go a long way toward completing the puzzle to the Jets' defense now that he's finally signed, sealed and delivered.
Negotiations took far longer than expected, but the former Pitt corner figures to play a huge role in the Jets' defense, especially against divisional powerhouse New England and all the Patriots' new receivers. 
It'll surely take Revis a while to catch up now that he's missed so much time in training camp. But if there's one position that you can overcome a prolonged absence, especially for a younger player, it's cornerback. The zone defenses are complicated and require plenty of practice, but with plenty of man coverage these days, corners can simply rely on their natural instincts more than players at other positions, where schemes are often more complicated.
Of course, not as complicated as negotiations to get Revis signed. It took weeks of talking, and a marathon session that lasted the better part of the last two days. The contract, according to Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum, is a whopping 47 pages long!
"I knew the landing spot on this deal was really small, but I was resolute in the fact that there was a landing spot that was good for Darrelle and good for the Jets," Tannenbaum said. "I am just happy we found a spot. In some deals, it’s easy to find that landing spot. This deal was obviously hard to find, but we knew that it was there. Part of it is the system- the complexities of the system over the last few years. We are sitting here with a 47-page document. All these deals are complicated and it seems like each year they get more complicated, not less complicated."
The two sides hammered out details that had to be approved by the NFL Management Council, which accounted for some of the delay in getting the deal done. But now that it's completed, it's on to football for a cornerback the Jets hope will be here for a long, long time.
