AlCroTraz takes over for Revis Island

Look for the Jets to use cornerback Antonio Cromartie in a similar capacity this year, meaning he'll be assigned to shadow the opposing team's top receiver each week. That's what the Jets did last year after Darrelle Revis went down with a knee injury in Week 3 against the Dolphins. Newsday

Rapid Reaction: Jets take Milliner 9th

PICK: First round (9th overall) PLAYER: Dee Milliner SCHOOL: Alabama POSITION: Cornerback HEIGHT: 6-foot WEIGHT: 201 pounds What it means: Four days after trading star CB Darrelle Revis, the Jets replaced him by picking the top corner in the draft. Milliner was regarded as a top-5 pick after the scouting combine, where he blazed the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds, but his stock was hurt by medical concerns. He underwent shoulder surgery (torn labrum) on March 12 and he probably will miss the entire offseason program. Jets Blog | ESPN New York

Day-after react to Revis trade

New Bucs CB Darrelle Revis (that felt weird typing) will hold an introductory news conference at noon in Tampa. A few thoughts and musings beforehand: 1. Revis' season-ending knee injury last September was deemed devastating for the team -- and it was -- but, in a weird way, it may have been a blessing in disguise -- at least from the Jets' perspective. Could you imagine the fallout if the Jets had traded a healthy Revis? I'm convinced they would've done it because there was no way Woody Johnson was paying $16 million per year for a cornerback.

Revis says Jets gave up on him

New Tampa Bay CB Darrelle Revis was introduced at a news conference in Tampa today, and he told reporters there he felt the Jets had “given up” on him by deciding to trade him. “I have feelings just like everyone in this room does,” Revis said. “At a time where I was injured, I didn’t know what to expect or what was going to happen going down the road. ...
